This error message...
Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 99
Current browser version is 95.0.4638.54 with binary path C:\Program Files (x86)\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 chromedriver=99.0
- Release Notes of chromedriver=99.0 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome version 99
- But you are using chrome=95.0
So there is a clear mismatch between chromedriver=99.0 and the chrome=95.0
Solution
Ensure that:
- ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v99.0 level.
- Chrome Browser is updated to current chrome=99.0 (as per chromedriver=99.0 release notes).
