I have created an exe with launch4j that does with the help of Selenium and Webdrivermanager some webautomation. For this I created a small Java Runtime Engine. To create it I used jdeps to get all required dependencies: jdeps -s file.jar. But as you can see one has been not found and I think this causes my problem:

com.google.gson -> jdk8internals
com.google.gson -> java.base
com.google.gson -> java.logging
com.google.gson -> java.sql
com.google.gson -> java.xml
com.google.gson -> not found

I created my JRE (Version 17.0.1) via: jlink --add-modules jdk.internal.ed,jdk.internal.jvmstat,jdk.internal.le,jdk.internal.opt,jdk.internal.vm.ci,jdk.internal.vm.compiler,jdk.internal.vm.compiler.management,java.base,java.sql --compress=2 --output jre

The Error I get in my error file is as follows:

error  is: io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.config.WebDriverManagerException: io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.config.WebDriverManagerException: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

All code I have for Webdrivemanager is:

public static void startDriver(String preferredBrowser) throws Exception{
    WebDriverManager.chromedriver().cachePath(driversPath).avoidOutputTree().setup();
    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches", Collections.singletonList("enable-automation"));
    options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);

    driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;  
    js.executeScript("Object.defineProperty(navigator, 'webdriver', {get: () => undefined})");
    driver.get(visitingWebsite);
}

If I let it run via my JDK it does work so the problem is for 100% my JRE and a missing module for Webdrivemanager. But I don't know why jdeps can't find it.

I hope you can help me out.

Best Regards

Christian
