SessionNotCreatedError: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome versi-CodePudding

I'm trying to start a selenium webdriverinstance, but I get this error:

SessionNotCreatedError: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 97 Current browser version is 100.0.4896.75 with binary path *path here*

I already tried using chromium 98, it works, but a new vulnerability was found in version 100 and i would like to update

CodePudding user response：

This error message...

SessionNotCreatedError: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 97 Current browser version is 100.0.4896.75 with binary path...

...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=100.0.4896.75
You are using chromedriver=97.0
Release Notes of chromedriver=97.0 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 97

So there is a clear mismatch between chromedriver=97.0 and the chrome=100.0.4896.75

Solution

Ensure that:

ChromeDriver is updated to ChromeDriver v100.0.4896.60 level which matches to chrome=100.0.4896.75.
