Issue getting server to connect

[sophk1]

I am having an issue with getting a server connection using the rsDriver function using this code:
driver <- rsDriver(browser = "chrome", chromever = "111.0.5563.19", port=free_port(),check=F, verbose=T)
I get this error:

Warning: Could not determine server status.[1] "Connecting to remote server"
Could not open chrome browser.
Client error message:
Undefined error in httr call. httr output: Failed to connect to localhost port 14415 after 2229 ms: Connection refused
Check server log for further details.

As suggested by other posts, I have tried deleting the LICENSE.chromedriver files which has not worked, as well as updating all dependencies of wdman. I have also attempted to revert wdman back to 0.2.5 from the current version but the old version will not install. This is on windows 10, with R 4.2.2, RSelenium 1.7.9.

I have also encountered this issue on my two devices. rsDrive does not work. The error info is as follows:

RSelenium::rsDriver(port = 9999L, browser = "chrome", chromever = "111.0.5563.19")
 
output:

[1] "Connecting to remote server"
Could not open chrome browser.
Client error message:
Undefined error in httr call. httr output: Failed to connect to localhost port 9999 after 2249 ms: Connection refused
Check server log for further details.

Moreover , remoteDriver also does not work.

`java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="C:\geckodrive.exe" -jar C:\selenium-server-standalone-4.0.0-alpha-2.jar -port 4567` in `CMD`

remDr <- remoteDriver(browserName = "firefox", remoteServerAddr = "localhost", port = 4567L)
remDr$open()

output:

[1] "Connecting to remote server"

I have encountered this issue on both a Mac and Windows:

rD <- RSelenium::rsDriver(browser = "firefox", port = sample.int(1000, 1))

output:

[1] "Connecting to remote server"

Could not open firefox browser.

Client error message:

Undefined error in httr call. httr output: Failed to connect to localhost port 431 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server

Check server log for further details.

I'm also having this issue.

This is due to the license file now in chromedriver. I was able to get something running by installing the wdman package and running
chromeDr = chrome(version="110.0.5481.77", retcommand = TRUE)
chromeDr # just so you can see what the command that is being run looks like
chromeDr = chrome(version="110.0.5481.77", retcommand = FALSE)

The second line will just show the command that was run and you can see that it has a path/110.0.5481.77/LICENSE.chromedriver element in it.

then I ran rsDriver and assigned chromeDr = rsDr[["client"]].

but I think rsDriver needs to be updated to work with the LICENSE file

I am still getting the same error as before after running those commands in the rsDriver function. I have also tried using unlink("C:/Users/sck11/AppData/Local/binman/binman_chromedriver/win32/110.0.5481.77/LICENSE.chromedriver") to unlink the License.chromedriver file as suggested by some other posts but this has not worked either. I have also tried with the updated version of wdman (0.2.6) as well as with 0.2.5. Does anybody have any further ideas as to why this is happening/why these fixes are not working for me?

I am having the same issue on two Linux Mint machines, one RStudio server on Ubuntu and two Windows machines. None of the suggested fixes have worked so far.,
