"The provided browser was not found" while it is effectively installed
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug On my M1 mac running Monterey, when I fire a browser through ZAP using “Manual Explore” I get an error saying “The provided browser was not found”, even though the selected browser is installed
This happens for Chrome and Safari, but not for Firefox
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Click “Manual Explore” in the “Quick Launch” pane
- On the line labeled “Explore your application” select “Chrome”
- Click the “Launch Browser” button
- See an error pop up saying “The provided browser was not found”
Expected behavior The selected browser - controlled by selenium - should start.
Software versions
- ZAP: 2.11.1
- OS: MacOS Monterey 12.1 on M1 CPU
- Java Version : Unsure;
java -version
fails
