TsetOptimal utilizes Selenium/WebDriver to perform browser automation. It must download the appropriate browser driver for each browser type the first time the browser is used for automation, to do so, it is required that your computer is connected to the internet. Alternative, you may manually copy the required browser driver package into the expected location. Check SvrLog file for the location: e.g.

 C:\Users\myAccount\.m2\repository\webdriver\chromedriver\win32\80.0.3987.106\chromedriver.exe

Additionally, it is highly recommended that you disable auto-update feature of your browser due to the fact that newest browser versions may break the automation. You can easily find on the internet on how to disable/enable auto-update feature.

Refer to Server Configuration to customize your installation.
