Hello I have upgraded Webdriver manager from 4.3.1 to 5.2.1 and then my code isn’t working.
This is the code :WebDriverManager.chromedriver().config().setChromeDriverVersion(driverVersion);
driverFile = new File(Global.WINDOWS_USER_HOME + "\.cache\selenium\chromedriver\win32\" +WebDriverManager.chromedriver().config().getChromeDriverVersion() + "\chromedriver.exe");
Even though driver version is properly set WebDriverManager.chromedriver().config().getChromeDriverVersion()is coming a blank. It is working fine with 4.3.1. Is there any code update i have to make?? Please advice.

As the WebDriverManager doc says:
Each manager was a singleton object in older WebDriverManager releases(e.g., 4.x), while in version 5, a new manager instance is createdeach time. Therefore, the usage of
getDownloadedDriverPath()andgetDownloadedDriverVersion()can be different in WebDriverManager 5(i.e., these methods need to be invoked using a WebDriverManagerinstance previously created).
Therefore, maybe you need to reuse the same instance of WebDriverManager that you use in different statements, such as:
WebDriverManager wdm = WebDriverManager.chromedriver();wdm.setup();String chromedriverPath = wdm.getDownloadedDriverPath();
