chromedriver @110.0.5481.77: cannot be rebuilt with port rev-upgrade since it seems to require Uniform Type Identifiers framework in macOS 10.15

[JD-Veiga]

Hi,

I cannot re-built chromedriver@110.0.5481.77 after upgrading other packages. This re-building seems to require Uniform Type Identifiers framework. This framework is not available in macOS 10.15 Catalina but in macOS 11 and later (according ​https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uniformtypeidentifiers).

Running port -v rev-upgrade produces:

--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
Could not open /System/Library/Frameworks/UniformTypeIdentifiers.framework/Versions/A/UniformTypeIdentifiers: Error opening or reading file (referenced from /opt/local/bin/chromedriver)
--->  Found 1 broken file, matching files to ports
--->  Found 1 broken port, determining rebuild order

Is it possible to support chromedriver in versions earlier than macOS 11?

Thank you.

Here I see two possible ways to solve this problem: (1) is to mark chromedriver as broken on everything before macOS 11, and (2) is to keep the legacy version.

As far as I can remember, Chrome is quite persistent in trying to update itself, and chromedriver requires the same version of Chrome, which makes the second option quite questionable to say at least.

I see. I also think that first option (mark chromedriver as broken on macOS earlier than 11) seems the only viable solution.

I really do not know if someone could be interested in installing previous versions of chromedriver (and use it with earlier versions of Chrome). This option is currently not provided via macports. (Personally, I do not see that possibility very useful... but who knows...)

Thank you.
