webdriverio: [🐛 Bug]: Worker starts with downloading the chromedriver from incorrect path what leads to a failure

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

WebdriverIO Version

8.14.4

Node.js Version

18.17.0

Mode

WDIO Testrunner

Which capabilities are you using?

"@wdio/cli": "^8.14.4",
    "@wdio/cucumber-framework": "^8.14.0",
    "@wdio/local-runner": "^8.14.3",
    "@wdio/spec-reporter": "^8.14.0"

What happened?

I setup the project from the scratch today (3 August 2023) with JS, Cucumber, local-runner and spec-reporter. After the successful message in the console, I run “npm run wdio” and this job failed due to an error (please find repository here https://github.com/HannaTarasevich/wdio-cucumber-bug):

According to my investigation, there is incorrect link to Chromedriver download. I’m using Chrome locally, current version is 115.0.5790.171, but WDIO tries downloading the same version of Chromedriver, but actually there is no such version (Chrome for Testing also does not have this version, only desktop has):

What is your expected behavior?

WDIO should take correct version from https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/ and https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/chrome-for-testing#json-api-endpoints, not using Chrome desktop versions

How to reproduce the bug.

1. Please clone repo https://github.com/HannaTarasevich/wdio-cucumber-bug
2. Run npm/yarn install
3. Run “npm run wdio”

Relevant log output

"C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd" run wdio

> wdio
> wdio run ./wdio.conf.js
