With Leapwork users can test their web applications in various browser versions and combinations.
Leapwork supports the latest available version of the browser, however, users can achieve forward and backward compatibility by either Upgrading/Downgrading the Leapwork Version or Selenium WebDriver and/or Browser under test. At the bottom of this article, you will find relevant to all relevant software (web drivers) and detailed instructions on how to replace the existing ones on your system.
Let's try to understand how it works:
Scenario 1: Consider a scenario where the user is working on an old version of Leapwork but the version of the browser is updated automatically.a
- Check the Web Browser and Driver Compatibility Matrix, if the latest Leapwork version is supporting the updated Browser then upgrade Leapwork using the How to Download/Upgrade Leapwork article.
- In case, Leapwork latest version doesn't support the updated browser then,
- Check the respective browser driver page (steps) for the compatible driver, if there exists a newer version, then download the driver and replace it in Studio and Agent folder.
- Otherwise, please downgrade the browser to the last supported version as per the Web Browser and Driver Compatibility Matrix, article, and wait for a new release.
Scenario 2: Consider a scenario where the user is working on the latest version of Leapwork but the version of the browser is older than the already supported version in Web Browser and Driver Compatibility Matrix
- User need to upgrade the browser and bring it to matching the version of Leapwork defined in Web Browser and Driver Compatibility Matrix
- Otherwise, please check the compatible driver version for the browser, download it from the respective browser driver page (steps), and replace it in Studio and Agent folder.
Scenario 3: Consider a scenario where a user wants to run a test against an older version of the browser.
- Please check the compatible Leapwork version for the supported browser using the Web Browser and Driver Compatibility Matrix article and downgrade to the version using the How to Download/Upgrade Leapwork article.
- Otherwise, please check the compatible driver version for the browser and download it from the respective browser driver page (steps) and replace it in Studio and Agent folder.
Upgrade/Downgrade Selenium Web Driver
User can upgrade/downgrade Selenium Web Driver using the following steps:
- Open web driver download page (Chrome, Firefox, IE11, Edge).
- Select the required driver and download it
- Check the downloaded file type, if it is .zip then extract the respective driver.exe file to a folder and make note of it.
- Go to C:\Program Files\LEAPWORK\Studio folder in Studio and C:\Program Files\LEAPWORK\Agent folder in Agent and take the backup of your existing driver.exe file.
- Copy and Paste the driver.exe file (extracted in step 3) to C:\Program Files\LEAPWORK\Studio folder in Studio and C:\Program Files\LEAPWORK\Agent folder in Agent
- Verify the version of recently copied files
