[🐛 Bug]: How to use proxy with --selenium-manager flag?

[raja-anbazhagan]

What happened?

I'm setting up automatic driver download for Selenium nodes. However, our firewalls only allow internet access through proxy. Is there a way to set the proxy settings for the nodes to use?

How can we reproduce the issue?

Try using a selenium node to access the internet through a http proxy server behind a corporate firewall.

Relevant log output

URLs like https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/known-good-versions.json are not accessible as we cannot specify proxy settings anywhere

How are you specifying the proxy for your browser tests? Selenium Manager is using the same proxy as the proxy value in the options class.

@titusfortner , this is not related to proxy set-up for tests.

The issue is mainly for nodes to download chromedrivers from internet when --selenium-manager flag was enabled. At this point I have not even setup a single node. So no scripts have run yet.

ah, right, the flag is in the command line list here — https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/selenium_manager/#configuration
