selenium vba runtime-error 438

Question

I am learning Selenium VBA. I want to use HideCommandPromptwindow in Selenium VBA.

The code bellow returns runtime-error 438 error.

HideCommandPromptWindow example:

Attached print-screen source: https://github.com/danwagnerco/selenium-vba/issues/68.

My code:

Sub abc()
Dim driver As New SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver
driver.HideCommandPromptWindow = True
driver.Start "chrome", "https://www.google.com"
driver.Quit
driver.Close
End Sub

Error:

For driver.HideCommandPromptWindow = TrueI'm prompted with runtime error 438 object doesn't support this property or method.

How can I use it? Have a nice day!

I don't know the selenium API, but apparently SeleniumWrapper doesn't have a HideCommandPromptWindow method, or the VBA run-time would have found it. Re-type the dot; is there a HideCommandPromptWindow member in the list? If not, you need to use something that's there. If yes, then the API isn't raising standard errors, or is twisting their meaning and in that case I'd refer to the API's documentation.. what does it say about HideCommandPromptWindow? — Mathieu Guindon

The .HideCommandPromptWindow property was available from version 1.0.18

You are getting that error because you are using an old version of the wrapper. My guess is that you are using version 1.0.17.

Please download the latest version from the below link and try again. I tried with version 1.0.17 and I got the error but when I installed the version 1.0.18, it worked just fine as shown in the screenshot below.
