Jenkins Freestyle Unable to Run a selenium script that clicks a link to Download a file

Using Jenkins Ask a question
1

I have a selenium script that tries to download a chromedriver from this site (https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=97.0.4692.71/). This script runs outside of Jenkins (on our servers) and downloads the file “chromedriver_win32.zip” but does not download “chromedriver_win32.zip” when we run it from a Jenkins job.

Usually that means the network configuration on your Jenkins agent is different than the network configuration on your desktop. There are many ways those network configurations could be different. Things you might investigate include:

  • Can the agent download a file from an HTTP server inside your company?
  • Can the agent download a different file from an HTTP server outside your company?
  • Does the agent have a different anti-virus configuration than the working desktop?
  • Does the agent have a different network firewall configuration than the working desktop?
  • Does the agent have a different network routing configuration than the working desktop?

I added this line in my script “addArguments(”–no-sandbox");" to my script to get the freestyle job to run from Jenkins. Are there any other arguments I should add to my script to see if it runs? Or are there other plugins I need when I use selenium?
