[🐛 Bug]: Please use quotes to denote strings. Upcoming TOML parser will require this and unquoted strings will throw an error in the future

[abhi-iac]

What happened?

This is not a bug report but rather I am getting this warning message "Please use quotes to denote strings. Upcoming TOML parser will require this and unquoted strings will throw an error in the future"

I have this TOML file not sure if I am missing anything? Could you please review the toml file and confirm if I am missing any string?

How can we reproduce the issue?

[node]
detect-drivers = false

[[node.driver-configuration]]
display-name = "chrome"
stereotype = '{"browserName": "chrome", "platformName": "Windows XP", "myApp:env": "xxx", "myApp:team": "ee"}'
max-sessions = 8

[[node.driver-configuration]]
display-name = "firefox"
stereotype = '{"browserName": "firefox", "platformName": "Windows XP", "myApp:env": "xx", "myApp:team": "ee"}'
max-sessions = 8

[[node.driver-configuration]]
display-name = "MicrosoftEdge"
stereotype = '{"browserName": "MicrosoftEdge", "platformName": "Windows XP", "myApp:env": "xx", "myApp:team": "ee"}'
max-sessions = 8

Can you update to the latest Selenium version?

[abhi-iac]

I can do it but wondering why is the warning?? Can you confirm my TOML is accurate as part Selenium standards?

[Delta456]

This warning was there to comply with the TOML standards and spec. Yes, your TOML is accurate as part of Selenium standards.

[abhi-iac]

Great, thanks for confirming. I will leave the TOML file as it is and upgrade the grid to 4.28.0.
