WebdriverManager does not download the correct architecture for my Apple M1

[iamlevik]

Description of the problem:
The issue seems to be that whenever I auto download the Chromedriver, it chooses the Intel version rather than the ARM64 for M1 Chips. How can I ensure it downloads the correct architecture?

Browser and version:
Version 93.0.4577.63 (Official Build) (arm64)

Operating system: macOS Big Sur Version 11.5.2

WebDriverManager version: 5.0.1

WebDriverManager call:

WebDriverManager traces:
14:14:22.762 [main] INFO n.s.c.w.d.ChromeDriverProvider - Using automatically driver download

I wasn't aware about the ARM64 versions of chromedriver in Mac. I think it's the artifact which contains m1 in the chromedriver repository:

https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=93.0.4577.63/

I have just committed a patch to support it. Unfortunately I don't have a Mac to test it. Can you please test it your machine?

You should to bump WebDriverManager to 5.0.2-SNAPSHOT. This version (containing the last patch) is in the sonatype snapshots repositories. If using Maven, you also need to include the following:

    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>oss.sonatype.org-snapshot</id>
            <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
            <releases>
                <enabled>false</enabled>
            </releases>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
            </snapshots>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

... its equivalent in Gradle:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' }
}

To ensure you are using a fresh cache, you can invoke WebDriverManager as follows:

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().clearDriverCache().setup();

To check that the patch is working, you should see that WebDriverManager is downloading the m1 artifact, i.e.:

Downloading https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/93.0.4577.63/chromedriver_mac64_m1.zip
