[🐛 Bug]: Opera Browser in Selenium 4 Usage

See original GitHub issue

What happened?

2 points.

As commit message mentioned, Selenium Deprecated Opera Support by non-W3C support [java] Add deprecated warnings to OperaDriver and OperaOptions

But as below code, Opera support W3C by additional option, so do we still need remove Opera in Selenium? JWP -->

@Test
  public void operaOptionsTest() {
     operaOptions = new OperaOptions();
//    operaOptions.setExperimentalOption("w3c",true);
    driver = new OperaDriver(operaOptions);
    driver.get("https://www.bing.com/"); 
  }
//in log --> 7月 02, 2022 12:01:49 上午 org.openqa.selenium.remote.ProtocolHandshake createSession
信息: Detected upstream dialect: OSS

W3C

@Test
public void operaOptionsTest() {
  operaOptions = new OperaOptions();
  operaOptions.setExperimentalOption("w3c",true);
  driver = new OperaDriver(operaOptions);
  driver.get("https://www.bing.com/");
} // in log --> 7月 02, 2022 12:05:22 上午 org.openqa.selenium.remote.ProtocolHandshake createSession

ChromeDriver doesn’t not work well with Opera As doc mentioned, it expect to work under ChromeOptions https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/getting_started/open_browser/#opera

But throw exception on my side

@Test
public void operaWithChromeOptionsTest() {
  // ChromeDriver is 102.0.5005.61
  // Opera is 88 based on Chrome/102.0.5005.115
  chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
  chromeOptions.setBinary("/${OPERA_HOME}/opera.exe");
  driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
  driver.get("https://www.ianzhang.cn/");
}
// org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited normally.
//  (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)

But chromeOptions with deprecated OperaDriver is fine, (it still need work with opera driver)

@Test
public void operaWithChromeOptionsAndOperaDriverTest() {
  chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
  chromeOptions.setBinary("/${OPERA_HOME}/opera.exe");
  driver = new OperaDriver(chromeOptions);
  driver.get("https://www.ianzhang.cn/");
}

So, any solution if user want to work with Opera by Selenium 4?

Opera is “officially” no longer supported in Selenium because there is not a compatible driver for it. The chromedriver now requires things that Opera does not support and operadriver does not appear to be updated with latest w3c support. If and when this changes, we can revisit support for it in Selenium.
