This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 78

I want to web scraping from Glassdoor. And find a package from https://github.com/MatthewChatham/glassdoor-review-scraper

I download the chromedriver with 78.0.3904.11 version. but when I run my python file, it keeps saying:

2019-09-29 15:57:25,182 INFO 363    :main2.py(10991) - Configuring browser
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 78

I have no idea why...

The major versions of chromedriver and your Chrome browser need to match exactly. So, you should use chromedriver 77 for Chrome 77, and chromedriver 78 for Chrome 78. If the versions don't match, you need to download the version of chromedriver that matches your web browser's major version which is accessible from this link.

To check versions, do the following:

  • Chrome browser:

    • type 'chrome://version/' in the URL bar
    • the first line starting with 'Google Chrome:' should display your browser's version

  • chromedriver:

    • open the command line
    • change your working directory to the directory containing chromedriver
    • type './chromedriver -v' to print its version
