I’m encountering an issue where the Open Web Browser step fails when trying to launch Chrome in my automation.
The process fails with the following error:
Error: error sending request for url
https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/known-good-versions-with-downloads.json
If I open the URL manually in a browser, it loads without any issues.

This issue is most likely caused by a company proxy.
Even though the URL
https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/known-good-versions-with-downloads.json opens fine in your browser, Selenium Manager runs as a separate process and does not automatically use your system or browser proxy settings.
Solution:
You need to explicitly configure the proxy for Selenium Manager by setting the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable. Configure it for the same user that runs the process.
Once HTTPS_PROXY is set Selenium Manager can route its requests through the proxy and it can download the correct ChromeDriver version and the Open Web Browser step should start working normally.
