AE RPA bot to Automate download of chrome driver

Hi,

With continuous update in Chrome browser we need to update chrome browser regularly. Following steps describes how we can automate the same using AE RPA platform:

Step 1:
Add a WebAPI activity: https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/

In process add argument:
Url1 with default value “/LATEST_RELEASE_”
Url2 with default value “https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=

Step 2:
Get chrome version in a argument either through power shell activity or via input from user in argument ChromeVersion
Sample Power shell command:

(Get-WmiObject -Class CIM_DataFile -Filter "Name='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe'" | Select-Object Version).Version

Step 3:
Using Assign block
Url1 = Url1 + ChromeVersion

Step 4:
Using Rest API activity make a Get call using Url1
Get output in argument DriverVersion

Step 5:
Using Assign block
Url2 = Url2 + DriverVersion + “/”

Using Url2 User can navigate to this url and download chrome driver using UI automation or make a get api call to get chromedriver_win32.zip
