Support Linux drivers for aarch64 / arm64

Hi, I wanted to run seleniumbase on a linux arm64 vm and run into some issues:

dockerfile is hardcoded to download amd64 chrome binary. This is easy to fix with the following change:

diff --git a/Dockerfile b/Dockerfile
index 08c878c4..8e5ef426 100755
--- a/Dockerfile
+++ b/Dockerfile

seleniumbase/console_scripts/sb_install.py has very partial support for linux aarch64. That means:

flag IS_ARM_LINUX exists and is properly set on my setup, but isn't actually used anywhere

some places don't check for aarch64 under linux at all:

    elif IS_LINUX:
        file_name = "edgedriver_linux64.zip"
        suffix = "LINUX"
    else:

and some check, but don't use IS_ARM_LINUX var:

    elif IS_LINUX:
        if "64" in ARCH:
            if "aarch64" in platform.processor():
                file_name = (
                    "geckodriver-%s-linux-aarch64.tar.gz" % use_version
                )
            else:
                file_name = "geckodriver-%s-linux64.tar.gz" % use_version
        else:
            file_name = "geckodriver-%s-linux32.tar.gz" % use_version

also this script is 1500+ lines and has a lot of duplication, which makes fixing it a mess.

Please consider implementing the suggested changes, since the library alone seems to work correctly, and problems are only related to obtaining chrome and webdrivers.

Thanks for reminding me.
Google recently added the new drivers, which means I can now support them with SeleniumBase:

Since Microsoft hasn't yet added that support for Linux ARM64, msedgedriver won't be included in the update:

Also note that SeleniumBase's (Pure CDP Mode) already supports ARM64 Linux. Eg:
https://github.com/mdmintz/undetected-testing/actions/runs/41013015157/job/123922919966

I'll add the Linux ARM64 support for chromedriver. (Pure CDP Mode doesn't need external drivers)

Thank you.

I wasn't aware, though I think the error was caused by the force install of chrome in the Dockerfile so it's still impossible to use unmodified image on aarch64 linux even with the CDP support.

I'm using sb_cdp.* methods in my script with image based on repo's Dockerfile and still run into issues. Is there a known problem with youtube videos? They run for a while and stop. The behavior is consistent inside container, but doesn't happen when running on the host itself.

Pure CDP Mode is the format that starts with: from seleniumbase import sb_cdp. Eg:

from seleniumbase import sb_cdp

sb = sb_cdp.Chrome(fast=True)
sb.goto("https://seleniumbase.io/demo_page")
sb.type("input", "Quickly type text!")
sb.press_keys("textarea", "Slowly type text!")
sb.click("#myButton")
sb.set_value("input#mySlider", "100")
sb.click_visible_elements("input.checkBoxClassB")
sb.select_option_by_text("#mySelect", "Set to 75%")
sb.hover_and_click("#myDropdown", "#dropOption2")
sb.click("#checkBox1")
sb.drag_and_drop("img#logo", "div#drop2")
sb.nested_click("iframe#myFrame3", ".fBox")
sb.highlight("#myButton")
sb.quit()

That format works in ARM64 Linux, eg:
https://github.com/mdmintz/undetected-testing/actions/runs/41013015157/job/123922919966

You would currently use the unbranded Chromium browser in there: sudo apt-get install -y chromium
As seen in the YML file that was used for that: https://github.com/mdmintz/undetected-testing/blob/06fab19860a0a72846dea7d915a68b4f4e153e41/.github/workflows/python-package-7.yml

If using Docker, you would need to do something similar.

Since you mentioned that you are using sb_cdp, that's already set for ARM64 Linux for Pure CDP Mode.

The changes that I'm making for this ticket are for the drivers (chromedriver), which is typically only used for regular selenium tests that don't require stealth.

This was resolved in 4.47.1 - https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/releases/tag/v4.57.1

Hi, thanks for the quick fix, but it looks like Dockerfile issue is still unresolved. The latest in main still has amd64 arch hardcoded:

SeleniumBase/Dockerfile

Line 88 in d98668b

    
           RUN wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

The Dockerfile is just a boilerplate for people to create their own Dockerfiles. It's not used internally in the framework itself.

Hm, that isn't clear for the project documentation. Could you consider adding this information to either the docs or the Dockerfile itself?

I updated the Dockerfile to include the new info: 635a8bc

thank you

If you find the SeleniumBase repo helpful, don't forget to give it a star ⭐!
