build(deps): bump webdriver-manager from 4.0.1 to 4.1.0

[dependabot]

Bumps webdriver-manager from 4.0.1 to 4.1.0.

Release notes

Sourced from webdriver-manager's releases.

v4.1.0

webdriver-manager 4.1.0

This release focuses on stability, platform compatibility, and CI reliability across Chrome/Chromium, Firefox, Edge, and Opera flows.

Highlights

Chrome / Chromium

• Improved Chrome for Testing (CfT) resolution and fallback behavior.
• Added robust handling for missing exact build metadata (fallback to milestone-level metadata).
• Added safer metadata parsing paths and improved error messages.
• Improved Windows platform selection: prefer win64 on 64-bit hosts with safe fallback to win32 when needed.

Firefox

• Fixed Linux ARM64 (aarch64) mapping to use correct linux-aarch64 GeckoDriver artifacts.
• Improved architecture detection stability for ARM/Linux environments.

Edge

• Updated Edge driver source endpoint and improved OS/platform mapping behavior.

Opera

• Fixed install flow when cache returns a direct binary path (prevents NotADirectoryError).
• Improved cache/extraction resilience for file-vs-directory conflicts in extracted archives.

Cache / Concurrency / Download Stability

• Reduced repeated metadata/network lookups by caching resolved driver version internally.
• Added inter-process locking and post-lock cache recheck to prevent concurrent install races.
• Improved extraction robustness in concurrent/busy-file scenarios.
• Improved cache path fallback behavior for read-only/invalid HOME environments (Docker/serverless/PyInstaller-related cases).

Logger

• set_logger() now accepts logger-like objects exposing log(level, message) (not only logging.Logger).

Docs

• Clarified package/import naming (webdriver-manager vs webdriver_manager).
• Clarified environment scope (desktop browser runtime vs Android/PyDroid).
• Added guidance for Docker/CI cache path usage.

CI / Tooling

• Updated workflows and expanded compatibility checks.
• Added non-blocking future-python coverage jobs.
• Modernized build flow usage in workflows.

Notes

If you are upgrading from older 4.0.x setups, we strongly recommend clearing stale .wdm cache in CI/containerized environments to avoid legacy artifact/path conflicts.

v4.0.2

What's Changed

• Fix __get_binary by excluding third party licenses by @​Jheesbrough in SergeyPirogov/webdriver_manager#666
• FIX #649: get latest version for chrome when it's not installed by @​MarcBresson in SergeyPirogov/webdriver_manager#655

Changelog

Sourced from webdriver-manager's changelog.

4.1.0

Compatibility

• Added support for Python 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14.
• Added CI coverage for Python 3.15.0-beta.1.
• Kept compatibility with both Selenium 3 and Selenium 4 usage patterns.
• Improved Chrome / Chromium / Brave support for Chrome 115+ and Chrome for Testing driver resolution.
• Improved Microsoft Edge driver resolution through updated endpoint handling and platform mapping.
• Improved Firefox/geckodriver resolution on Linux ARM64.
• Improved Windows browser version detection through safer PowerShell command execution.
• Improved Docker, CI, and serverless compatibility when default cache locations are unavailable or read-only.

Fixes

• Chrome/Chromium: improved Chrome for Testing resolution and fallbacks for missing exact build metadata, readable errors, and stable URL resolution. (#706, #685, #639)
• Chrome on Windows: prefer win64 on 64-bit hosts with safe fallback to win32 when the win64 asset is unavailable. (#647, #686)
• Edge: updated driver endpoint and improved OS/platform mapping for driver artifacts. (#697)
• Firefox on Linux ARM64: prefer linux-aarch64 geckodriver to avoid architecture mismatch. (#616)
• Windows browser version detection: switched to PowerShell -EncodedCommand flow to avoid quoting and expansion failures in browser version probes. (#625)
• Opera driver install path handling when cache already returns a binary file path, preventing NotADirectoryError caused by directory-only assumptions. (#730)
• Cache reliability: avoid remote version lookup when a valid browser-version cache entry already exists. (#661)
• Cache stability: cache resolved driver version inside the cache manager to reduce repeated metadata and network requests. (#656)
• Concurrency: added an inter-process install lock with post-lock cache recheck to prevent parallel download and unpack races such as BadZipFile and startup failures. (#700, #631)
• Archive extraction robustness: improved zip fallback handling in concurrent or busy-file scenarios.
• Docker/serverless cache path safety: fall back to a writable temp directory when HOME or project-root cache targets are invalid or read-only. (#636, #651, #682, #694)
• Binary selection safety: prevent selecting non-executable companion files such as THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.* as driver executables. (#667, #670, #683, #699)
• Logger API: set_logger() now accepts logger-like objects exposing log(level, message), not only logging.Logger. (#688)

Tests

• Added regression tests for Chrome 115+ Chrome for Testing resolution flows and Chrome 118 resolution.
• Added tests for compressed and invalid Chrome for Testing metadata parsing paths.
• Added tests for cache lookup behavior and no-network cache hit paths.
• Added tests for binary selection safety to avoid selecting THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.*.
• Added tests for Firefox ARM64 OS mapping.
• Added tests for manager concurrency and cache recheck behavior.
• Added tests for constants and cache path behavior in frozen/PyInstaller and invalid HOME scenarios.
• Expanded CI matrix for Python 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, and 3.15.0-beta.1.

Docs

• Reworked README structure for the 4.1.0 release to focus on installation, usage, compatibility, configuration, and maintenance information.
• Added guidance on when to use webdriver-manager instead of Selenium Manager.
• Clarified package/import naming: webdriver-manager is the package name, webdriver_manager is the import name. (#660)
• Added desktop browser automation scope guidance and clarified that Android/PyDroid local browser automation is out of scope. (#640)
• Added Docker, CI, and serverless cache-path recommendations. (#630)
• Updated Selenium 3 and Selenium 4 usage examples for Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, Firefox, IE, and Opera.
• Documented configuration use cases for custom cache, custom OS/architecture detection, custom download URLs, GitHub token usage, SSL verification, custom logger, and custom HTTP client.
