NAME

WWW::Mechanize::Chrome::Troubleshooting - Things to watch out for

INSTALLATION

Chrome is installed but Perl does not connect to it

If you notice that tests get skipped and/or the module installs but "does not seem to work", most likely you need to close ALL your Chrome windows. If you want Perl to share your browser, you will need to start Chrome yourself with the <--remote-debugging-port=9222> command line switch.

OPERATION

Chrome / Chromium best practices

Install your own version of Chrome/Chromium locally and disable automatic updates. This prevents the API from changing under your scripts.

File downloads don't work

Chrome / Chromium doesn't have an API for determining whether a download completed or not. Chrome versions v62 and v63 do have working downloads, but Chrome v64 does not send the appropriate API messages.

REPORTING AN ISSUE

Ideally you ask your question on the public support forum, as then other people can also provide you with good answers. Your question should include a short script of about 20 lines that reproduces the problem. Remember to remove all passwords from the script.
