wptdriver Update - Unzip Error

WebPageTest Private Instances

I haven’t used my local instance in a couple of weeks and when I fired it up today it apparently tried to do an auto-update and got hung up trying to unzip something.

A 7-Zip alert was open saying “The system cannot find the file specified.” and the wptdriver status window said “Software install failed, waiting to try again…”

The error persists after reboot and I haven’t been able to find any useful debugging info in the log files. Has anyone else had problems with the updates?

There’s a good chance that it is trying to update Firefox but Firefox’s own auto-updater already did it. Go into your wptdriver.ini file and comment out the “installer” line for the firefox config and see if that is it (otherwise you can comment out all of them).

Thanks, that was it! I previously commented out the WPT updater line, I hadn’t thought that it could be the updater for the browsers themselves.
