What happened?
Hi dear Selenium-Team,
Selenium manager can’t find browser driver in user directory when the username has special characters inside. Selenium manager throws an DriverServiceNotFound exception.
To avoid this issue the browser driver has to put in the same directory as the program executable.
How can we reproduce the issue?
To reproduce create a Windows Username with a special character like René or Björgensen. After this use Selenium in its default configuration.
Relevant log output
Exception:
OpenQA.Selenium.DriverServiceNotFoundException: The file C:\Users\René\.cache\selenium\chromedriver\win32\112.0.5615.49\chromedriver.exe does not exist.
