Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 94 Current browser version is 93.0.4577.82

Writing a simple selenium script to click on links on aa website. The script is written like so:

from selenium import webdriver
import time

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

try:
    browser.get("https://www.google.com")
    print("Page title was '{}'".format(browser.title))

finally:
    browser.quit()

Now the issue is the actual chrome driver itself I get the following exception

selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 94
Current browser version is 93.0.4577.82 with binary path /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome

I went to the chromedriver downloads site. I still get the same error though.

This made me go crazy I solved it like this we are using selenium npm module.

Run the code below and it will tell you what executable path you are using.

const { Builder, By, Key, util } = require("selenium-webdriver");
const chrome = require("selenium-webdriver/chrome");
console.log(chrome.getDefaultService().executable_);

I had installed chromedriver globally

npm i chromedriver -g

The executable path showed me it was using this and an older version.

Uninstalled this.

npm uninstall chromedriver -g

Now it started using the version I dowloaded and added to me PATH.

Download the latest chromedriver from here.

https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

Add it to your path in the .zshrc file.

export PATH=/Users/dave/SeleniumWebdrivers:$PATH

Drag your downloaded drivers into this folder.

I think there is another way to solve this problem. Uninstall the protarctor and reinstall it and see magic.

npm uninstall protractor
npm install protractor

This error occurred because you have different versions of Google Chrome and driver. It is better to update the driver, rather than install the old version of Google, since in the future it will be constantly updated (why do you want to use outdated technologies?). I usually use :

ChromeDriverManager

because at any time without going to the web driver website you can simply download the driver with the following command:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

Further, using the path given by this command, you can use the freshly installed version:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\path_to_chrome_driver_executable\chromedriver.exe")
