Hi,

what is the exact starter you are using? We have switched to use Webdrivermanager in most starters, but we might have missed some. You can create a driver.xml file in your directory similar to this one : [skeleton-starter-flow-spring/drivers.xml]
(https://github.com/vaadin/skeleton-starter-flow-spring/blob/v14/drivers.xml)

Sorry for the inconveniences!

Best regards,

Anastasia

I am working on the “Building Modern Web Apps with Spring Boot and Vaadin” tutorial.
The used technology stack is Spring Boot.

I created the drivers.xml file with the same content as you advised and the error doesn’t show anymore.

Thanks!

yes, with drivers.xml, my project builds and runs. Thanks for the tip!
