RSelenium Stop Working, asking for Payment

[ham1hv9]

RSelenium Stop Working 2 days ago. To run the package, you now have to make a payment to use it. but there is no way to pay for the service and instructions on how to use it afterwords. It looks like RSelenium is officially dead! Does anyone know how to get around this issue?

As a temporary fix, the following works for me when calling rsDriver() set check = FALSE

I use the gecko driver. Adding phantomver = NULL fixed the issue:

selenium_server <- rsDriver(browser = "firefox", chromever = NULL, geckover = "0.36.0", port = free_port(), phantomver = NULL)
