Compile ChromeDriver on ARM

Question

I need to use Selenium with ChromeDriver on ARMv7 Raspberry Pi 3 (Firefox does not fit in my project), but as there are only pre-compiled binaries for x86 and x64, I tried to compile it from the source code on my own...

But as the Chromium Project uses a lot of tools that I'm not familiar with to compile the source, I couldn't even start the process.

I had searched for hours on the internet how to compile it for ARM family but I couldn't find any tutorial or even a successful story about it.

So, I have two questions:

1. Is this 'doable'?
2. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do?

If you want to compile chromium on ARM, google it and you get unix.stackexchange.com/questions/176794/… – Seismic

Actually, I'm talking about just ChromeDriver, but I appreciate your comment and reference. – Keffiyeh

Any luck ? I'm looking for v.2.33 but can't find it anywhere :-/ – Huntingdonshire

Look like a dead end... :( Tried to do the same for a while, giving up on the rpi for that – Rosalindrosalinda

what's the arm version of chromedriver for chromium=74.0.3729.157 ? – Chicago

@Chicago It appears electron never made a version for chromium=74.0.3729.157. Release electron v5.0.1 says, "Updated Chromium to 73.0.3683.121. #18001". Then their next release after it electron v6.0.0-beta.2 says, "Updated Chromium to 76.0.3783.1. #18116". So it appears they skipped 74.x altogether. I feel a bit out of luck because my raspberry pi running debian seems to only support 74.x as the latest. – Zooplankton

Thanks a lot for this! I've been searching for ever to find a compatible version of the driver! – Hypotrachelium

@slhck I download the windows or linux executable and run that, the first thing it prints out is the chromedriver version. If you want to automate that I suppose you have to automatically download the latest release linux executable, run that and pipe out the output to a text file. Never tried it thought. – Wirth

Hello. Where can I find 84.0.4147.141? – Inapproachable

I am wondering how they build it. I would like to simply do it on my own machine seeing that they skipped Chromedriver 95, but that is what is available on Raspbian currently. – Rubato

you can download new versions here: github.com/electron/electron/releases?after=v7.1.5 – Eger

sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver – Eger
