Can't run selenium Chromedriver (was working fine before)

so today I went to run a program I made in python 3, but it kept crashing when it tried to open chromium. I haven't updated python or the chromedriver.exe so it was strange why it didn't work.

Current version of chrome driver I have installed: 74.0.3729.6

I have tried the following things but it didn't work:

  1. Updating to the latest version of the chrome driver (v77.0.3865.10)
  2. Downgrading to v73 of the chrome driver

Nothing has worked. Could someone please assist me.

I made this test program with just it launching the chrome browser:

main.py

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.create_options()
driver.maximize_window()

crash message:

The version of both Chrome (or Chromium) and Chromedriver must coincide.

As you can see in the error, your current Chromedriver only works with Chromium version 74.

Check the version of you Chromium and install the corresponding version of Chromedriver. To do this you can run the following command in a terminal.

apt-cache policy chromium
