Opera Driver Update

The browser driver must remain synchronized with the current version of the Opera browser to ensure stable automation. This activity covers identifying the Opera version, locating the correct binary from the official repositories, and the replacement procedure within the worker directory.

Configuration Parameters

Field Description Requirement
Opera Version The current build version of the installed Opera browser. Required
Operating System The target platform (Windows, Linux, or Mac) for the driver. Required
Worker Path The local directory where the Robusta Worker driver is located. Required
Architecture System architecture (e.g., x64, x86) for binary compatibility. Required

[^1]: Required fields must be configured for the activity to execute successfully.

Action Types & Examples

Version Matching

Aligning the browser's Chromium-based major version with the corresponding Opera Driver. - Format: string (Major.Minor.Build) - Example Result: "108.0.5067.40"

Process Termination

Ensuring all active operadriver instances are closed before replacement. - Format: boolean (Process State) - Example Result: true

Implementation Examples

Field Setup - Browser Check: Open Opera and navigate to opera://about to find the version. - Worker Directory: C:\RobustaWorkerCE\driver

Execution Parameters - Process Name: operadriver.exe - Manual Kill Command: taskkill /F /IM operadriver.exe /T

Opera Driver releases are hosted on GitHub and follow the Chromium versioning of the browser. Use the following resources to find the correct binary:

1. Official GitHub Repository

Opera Driver releases are managed through the official GitHub releases page. - URL: https://github.com/operasoftware/operadriver/releases

2. Matching Procedure

  • Find your Opera version in the "About Opera" section.
  • Match the major version (e.g., Opera 108) with the driver version listed on GitHub.
  • Download the zip file corresponding to your OS (e.g., operadriver_win64.zip).

Technical Notes

Binary Renaming: By default, the downloaded file is named operadriver.exe. Ensure it is placed directly into the \driver folder. If your workflow specifically looks for a different name, verify the filename consistency.

Chromium Compatibility: Since Opera is based on Chromium, ensure that the "Chromium version" listed in the Opera Driver release notes matches the Chromium version of your installed Opera browser.

Access Issues: If you encounter an "Access Denied" error during replacement, double-check the Task Manager to ensure no background opera.exe or operadriver.exe processes are still running.
