This directory contains scripts used by ChromeDriver team to make public releases of ChromeDriver.

The following steps are involved:

• Go to the following URL to review bugs fixed in the release, replacing the trailing 81 with actual ChromeDriver major version number:

  https://crbug.com/chromedriver?can=1&sort=id&q=label:ChromeDriver-81

• After reviewing the above page and making and necessary updates, click on the “CSV” link near the lower-right corner to download the bug list to ~/Download/chromedriver-issues.csv.

• Run Python script release_notes.py to generate release notes. It requires one command line argument, which is the full 4-part version number of the new release. The script is hardcoded to read ~/Download/chromedriver-issues.csv, and save the resulting file in notes.txt in the current directory.

• Run shell script release.sh to copy ChromeDriver binaries and release notes to the release web site. This script takes one argument, the full 4-part version number of the new release.

Notes:

• If you encounter error that gsutil can't be found, install it with:

  sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk

• If you encounter permission errors from gsutil, run the following command and login with an account that has permission to update gs://chromedriver.

  gcloud auth login

• If LATEST_RELEASE file needs updating, it can be done manually, e.g.,

  gsutil cp gs://chromedriver/LATEST_RELEASE_81 gs://chromedriver/LATEST_RELEASE
