[BUG] Headerless browser broken

[non-Jedi]

I noticed this a few months ago. I'm assuming some dependency changed their api to break Novel-Grabber.

Describe the bug

When the "Use Headerless Browser" option is checked under the "Manual" interface, Novel-Grabber fails to download anything. I have the browser to use set to firefox, and as far as I can tell, no firefox instance is actually started.

If I run the program as java -jar bin/Novel-Grabber.jar, I see the following in stderr which I believe probably is the best clue toward the issue:

109336 [pool-4-thread-1] INFO io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager - Using geckodriver 0.33.0 (resolved driver for Firefox 114)

Platform

• Linux
• Mozilla Firefox 114.0

I've updated all dependencies. Please update and try again.

Hm. I'm still having the same issue on 3.10.3 with the same output on stderr and in the log.

[Flameish]

Is this only for a specific site or all?
It seems to be like a generic Linux error rather than a java one, not sure where to begin on this one. (It works perfectly fine on my linux machine).
From a quick round of googling, someone mentioned getting that error when running a script via sh instead of bash, through I don't think this applies in this case.

This is for all sites. I'm working on getting chrome installed to see if I have the same issue there. My bet is that it's an issue with the binary webdrivermanager downloads to ~/.cache/selenium/geckodriver/linux64/0.33.0/geckodriver.

And of course using chrome gives me a completely different error since apparently chrome 113 is far too old. Blah.

Okay. Once I got chrome >=114 installed, headerless actually worked. So this error is specific to firefox 114.0 on linux and potentially even more specific than that. What version of firefox do you have installed @Flameish that works for you?

[Flameish]

114.0 on Fedora 38 :)

[non-Jedi]

Hm. And can you check that you end up using the same geckodriver as me?

md5sum ~/.cache/selenium/geckodriver/linux64/0.33.0/geckodriver 
1d3329b4f09f1e466af61860d1847346  /home/adam/.cache/selenium/geckodriver/linux64/0.33.0/geckodriver

[Flameish]

Nope, mine is 9ec7106c61fcc56916417baad150ef59

So it looks like it's downloading the aarch64 version of geckodriver for me which certainly explains the issue. I tried just deleting ~/.cach/selenium to see if it got it right on a second attempt, but no dice.

file ~/.cache/selenium/geckodriver/linux64/0.33.0/geckodriver
/home/adam/.cache/selenium/geckodriver/linux64/0.33.0/geckodriver: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, with debug_info, not stripped

I'm assuming this is an upstream bug with webdrivermanager incorrectly believing my x86_64 install of Void Linux is aarch64. Could you help me file the issue there, please? I'm not fluent in Java.

I appreciate you going back and forth with me to debug this.
