SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports-CodePudding

I've been trying to open my default chrome browser for over 1 month now. I have not succeeded in now. I have made 2 other posts which were not of much help. So therefore I just try one last time and hope for the best.

What I'm trying is that I would like to open my main chrome browser with selenium. The reason I want to do this is to use certain cookies with a login from my main browser. The only way I could just see myself getting it was to open my chrome browser which I use daily.

Have been working on some code for a while now and would still like to be able to use it in my main browser.

My code looks like this:

import time
from selenium import webdriver
import getpass
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select


options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\rober\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Users\rober\Desktop\Bot\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://www.zalando.dk/jordan-air-jordan-1-mid-sneakers-high-joc12n001-a18.html")

buyButton = False

while buyButton is False:

    try:
        
        addToCartBtn = addButton = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/x-wrapper-re-1-6/div/div[4]/button')

        print("Varen er udsolgt")

        time.sleep(1)
        driver.refresh()

    except:
        addToCartBtn = addButton = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="picker-trigger"]')

        print("Varen er på Lager")
        buyButton = True

while buyButton is True:
    time.sleep(1)
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.uc-btn#uc-btn-accept-banner"))).click()
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Vælg størrelse']"))).click()
    driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//label[starts-with(@for, 'size-picker')]//span[text()='51.5']"))))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//label[starts-with(@for, 'size-picker')]//span[text()='51.5']"))).click()
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Læg i indkøbskurv']"))).click()
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'a[title="Indkøbskurv"]'))).click()
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".z-coast-base__totals-tile .z-1-button__content"))).click()
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'a[title="Registrér dig"]'))).click()

My error look like this:

selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 96
Current browser version is 99.0.4844.82 with binary path C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

CodePudding user response：

This error message...

selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 96
Current browser version is 99.0.4844.82 with binary path C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. google-chrome session.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

You are using chrome=99.0
But you are using chromedriver=96.0
Release Notes of chromedriver=96.0 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 96

So there is a clear mismatch between chromedriver=96.0 and the chrome=99.0

Solution

Ensure that:

ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v99.0 level.
Chrome Browser is updated to current chrome=99.0 (as per chromedriver=98.0.4758.48 release notes).
