io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManagerException: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException

Question

I have the following error when start tests on remote VM via Jenkins, however tests work without any issues on my local machine.

io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManagerException: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\Users\Administrator\.m2\repository\webdriver\geckodriver\win64\v0.26.0\geckodriver.exe

The tests worked correctly before and this issue started to appear from 30/04/2020/.

WebDriver manager version - 3.8.1, geckodriverVersion - 0.26

In my case, forceDownload() allows the test to download and overwrite the current driver version folder. If geckodriver.exe is running on (check on Task Manager), so it could not overwrite a running program.

So, before executing the test, you should check whether that program is running or not. If it is running, you must force close geckodriver.exe.

Otherwise, don't forget that you should quit the driver if an exception occurs.

if (driver) {
    driver.quit();
}

I have similar issue. While running from Jenkins, it shows the following issue. But it would pass if I run it from windows cmd.exe.
