AJ ONeal 13ea83f963 ref: remove all releases.js files and _common/ fetchers
These files are no longer loaded at runtime. All release data now comes
from _cache/YYYY-MM/{pkg}.json files generated by the Go webicached daemon.

Deleted:
- 94 {pkg}/releases.js files (per-package upstream fetchers)
- 8 _common/*.js files (github.js, gitea.js, git-tag.js, fetcher.js, etc.)

Updated:
- _webi/classify-one.js: reads from cache instead of require(releases.js)
- Fixed hardcoded triplet key to use dynamic lookup

ChromeDriver https://chromedriver.chromium.org ChromeDriver: WebDriver for Chrome

To update or switch versions, run webi chromedriver@stable (or @v2, @beta, etc).

Cheat Sheet

WebDriver is an open source tool for automated testing of webapps across many browsers. ChromeDriver is a WebDriver created by the Chromium (Google Chrome) team - for Selenium and such.

You probably won't run chromedriver manually, but it must be installed for some testing frameworks.

Also, Chrome must be installed first in order for ChromeDriver to work.

How to Install Chrome on Linux

On Debian (and Ubuntu) Linux you should be able to install Chrome with dpkg and apt:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install -y google-chrome-stable
sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

You may get an error like this:

chromedriver: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If so, try installing chromium-browser:

sudo apt install -y chromium-browser
sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

Other Notes

On Windows chromedriver.exe should Just Work™.

On macOS you may need to install XCode Command Line Tools with xcode-select --install.
