BrowserChrome

[SilverChinchilla]

I have gotten FireFox to stay open however Chrome only blimps upon executing ghosts on the client. I modeled it in the config file almost exactly like the FireFox portion of the TimeLine JSON file on the client but no luck. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hmm, a couple of things to check:

1. What version of chrome?
2. What version of chromedriver?
3. can i see the config for the chrome handler here please?

version 81.0.4044.92
tried the wiki you guys have up here but couldn't have any luck, but the chrome config looks like the following (spacing is off just cause i didn't include all the websites):

Do you see anything in the logs/app.log file specific to chrome or chromedriver?

[SilverChinchilla]

Not that I could see.

[sei-dupdyke]

Try changing about:blank to https://www.google.com or something similar.

[SilverChinchilla]

I changed it to https://google.com and there was no change, would it have to be changed somewhere else other than the config file on the client?

You noted Chrome version 81.0.4044.92, I believe that maps to this version of ChromeDriver (CD):

https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=81.0.4044.138/

Can you verify which version of CD you have, and if its not v81, can you please re-try with this linked version?

I thought it might be something simple. I also thought that CD version mis-matches would show in the logs, but I'm not 100% sure it would show.

[SilverChinchilla]

I will give the link a try, is there a specific location on the client that it needs to be?

[sei-dupdyke]

Thanks. CD is located in the same directory as the GHOSTS executable.

[SilverChinchilla]

That seems to have done the trick! Thanks a bunch for the help! Super stoked

Awesome 🤘 - sorry for all the back and forth, glad it is working.
