Selenium WebDriver implementation is broken due to update of Selenium

[Jonathan Weth]

    def create_webdriver(self):
        if self.selenium_hub:
            from selenium import webdriver
    
>           return webdriver.Remote(
                command_executor=self.selenium_hub,
                desired_capabilities=self.get_capability(self.browser),
            )
E           TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'desired_capabilities'

.tox/globalenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django/test/selenium.py:92: TypeError

In selenium >= 4.10, desired_capabilities is no longer a valid argument for the constructor of WebDriver. There seem to be other ways to set those capabilities.

I'm not sure why but I cannot reproduce this crash with selenium 4.10.0.

Replying to Mariusz Felisiak:

The bug only occurs if you are using a remote Selenium web driver.

5. g. with ./runtests.py --selenium firefox --selenium-hub ​http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub --external-host 172.17.0.1 (using docker-selenium)

Reproduced with the given instructions, thanks!

Ran docker-selenium as suggested in ​https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium#quick-start:

docker run -d -p 4444:4444 -p 7900:7900 --shm-size="2g" selenium/standalone-firefox:4.10.0-20230607

And then:

./runtests.py --selenium=firefox --selenium-hub=http://localhost:4444/wd/hub

Errors are:
