Client error in RSelenium ( R programming)

Question

Hello I hope you are well

I was programming doing data scrapping, using the R package (RSelenium)

Currently, I am programming in the version of R 4.2.3

library(RSelenium) library(netstat) library(tidyverse) library(rvest) library(sys)

First, I use the following commands to find out the exact versions of both Chrome and Selenium server

binman::list_versions('chromedriver')
binman::list_versions("seleniumserver")
RSelenium::checkForServer()

Defines the URL url <- "https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g294074-i3499-k13204080-Safety-Bogota.html"

The problem lies with the following code

rs_driver_object <- rsDriver(
  browser = "chrome",
  chromever = "113.0.5672.63",
  verbose = F, #supres anay messsage 
  port = free_ports() #the unic function we use from nestat
)

and the error it generates is

[1] Could not open chrome browser.
Client error message:
Undefined error in httr call. httr output: Failed to connect to localhost port 14415 after 2253 ms: Connection refused
Check server log for further details.
Warning message:
In rsDriver(browser = "chrome", chromever = "113.0.5672.63", verbose = F,  :
  Could not determine server status.

I have not understood the problem, I hope for a prompt response, and I thank you in advance for the use of your time.

We hope to be able to activate the RSelenium, to be able to work in a Chrome tab. It provides a "shim" for the current issue running firefox on Windows. For a more detailed set of functions for running binaries relating to the Selenium/webdriver project see the wdman package. Both the client and server are closed using a registered finalizer.
