This error message...

Error : This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 97 Current browser version is 96.0.4664.45 with binary path

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.

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

You are using chrome=96.0.4664.45
Release Notes of ChromeDriver v96.0 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 96

But 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=96.0

Solution

Ensure that:

ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v96.0 level.
Chrome is updated to current _chrome=96.0.4664.45. (as per chrome=96.0.4664.45 release notes).
