Chromedriver install fails with SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading

I'm submitting this in the hope it will save others from trawling the internet for answers 😃 :

• Dusk Version: 6.24.0
• Laravel Version: 9.11.0
• PHP Version: 8.1.6
• Database Driver & Version: n/a
• OS & Version: Ubuntu 22.04

Description:

Installing dusk and/or chrome-driver throws an SSL exception.

NOTE: THE PROBLEM IS WITH PHP AND NOT DUSK!!

This issue is caused by a compatibility issue between PHP and OpenSSL 3.0. A fix has been added to PHP and will be available in PHP 8.1.7 (currently on PHP 8.1.6 at time of writing).

See:

• OpenSSL 3: Support of SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF context option php/php-src#8369
• php/php-src@74f75db

Steps To Reproduce:

/var/www/web$ php artisan dusk:install
Dusk scaffolding installed successfully.
Downloading ChromeDriver binaries...

   ErrorException 

  file_get_contents(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:

@euperia temporary workaround? downgrade to PHP 8.0?

@ethanclevenger91 I guess so if you're not using and 8.1 specific features.

PHP 8.1.7 was officially released yesterday. Hopefully it will find its way into Ubuntu 22.04 soon, even if it is only in the Ondřej Surý PPA.

Update: PHP is now at version 8.1.7 using the ondrej:ppa repository.
