What happened?

The XWiki build broke recently on Mac M1 only, due to our TestContainer-based tests all failing. We're using:

• Latest testcontainers version: 1.18.3
• Latest Selenium java: 4.10.0
• Latest seleniarm image: seleniarm/standalone-firefox:latest (currently pointing to 114.0-geckodriver-0.33-20230615)

Relevant log output

The testcontainers logs show:

### Additional Information

I've tried various combinations of different versions of TC/Selenium/seleniarm image to no avail.

Not that it works fine on other oses (other than Mac M1) so the issue is mostly likely an incompatibility between the geckdriver version used with seleniarm latest (114.0).


Any idea of what I could do?

Thanks you!

@vmassol Did you raise an issue in selenium? I don't see it related to Testcontainers itself.

[vmassol]

@eddumelendez you're right, it's only slightly related. I was asking here for several reasons: 1) making the issue known to other TC users, 2) hoping to find someone with the knowledge to help debug this further or find a workaround.

I've just reported it at seleniumhq-community/docker-seleniarm#40
