Incompatible chromedriver and chrome versions except they are both 96-CodePudding

I am using Selenium python with chromedriver and I got the usual error about incompatible chromedriver and chrome versions:

session not created
from disconnected: unable to connect to renderer
  (Session info: chrome=96.0.4664.110)

I went and downloaded chromedriver 96 but I keep getting that same error. Here is my output when i check the chromedriver version :

> chromedriver --version
ChromeDriver 96.0.4664.45 (76e4c1bb2ab4671b8beba3444e61c0f17584b2fc-refs/branch-heads/4664@{#947})

Here is how I initialize the driver in my code:

options = Options()
port = '8888'
options.add_argument('--remote-debugging-port='   port)
options.add_argument('headless')
try:
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
except:
...

EDIT : After updating Selenium to ver. 4.1.0, I now get a stacktrace with the same error :

session not created
from disconnected: unable to connect to renderer
  (Session info: chrome=96.0.4664.110)

CodePudding user response：

I think the problem was related to the fact that I launched the driver in headless mode and that it doesn't stop itself when the program stops, which caused the program to crash when being started again.

Solution: use driver.quit() at the end of the program
