When I try to connect to a debuggerAddress via chrome web driver i get below error

WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot connect to chrome at localhost:xxxx from session not created: Chrome version must be >= 69.0.3497.0  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.44.609538 (b655c5a60b0b544917107a59d4153d4bf78e1b90),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86_64)

No issue with chromedriver-Chrome version, Since the same is working fine different create driver code.

Working Driver code:

Create Webdriver    Chrome    executable_path=C:/WebDrivers/chromedriver.exe

Issue Driver code:

Create Webdriver    Remote    command_executor=http://localhost:yyyy    desired_capabilities=${chrome_cap}

System Details

  • Chrome version: 70
  • Chrome Driver Version:2.44
  • System: Windows 7 (64 bit)

This error message...

WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot connect to chrome at localhost:xxxx from session not created: Chrome version must be >= 69.0.3497.0 (Driver info: chromedriver=2.44.609538 (b655c5a60b0b544917107a59d4153d4bf78e1b90)

...implies that the Chrome version must be >= 69.0

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

  • You are using chromedriver=2.44 which ideally supports Chrome versions between version 69.x to 71.x

Solution

As per best practices:

Update A

As per your comment update if you don't have access to upgrade chrome and you need to work with Chrome v70 you have to download the matching ChromeDriver version as per the details within the discussion RemoteDisconnected(“Remote end closed connection without” http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response

Update B

As per your comment update to use a specific version of Chrome binary by mentioning installed path you can following the discussion Cannot find Chrome binary with Selenium in Python for older versions of Google Chrome

  • Thanks for your response. I have tried with v2.45 and still got the same error. So try to downgrade Chromedriver. WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot connect to chrome at localhost:xxxx from session not created: Chrome version must be between 70 and 73 (Driver info: chromedriver=2.45.615291 (ec3682e3c9061c10f26ea9e5cdcf3c53f3f74387),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86_64)c – Karthik K Dec 28 '18 at 06:56
  • Did you upgrade _Chrome Browser_ accordingly? – undetected Selenium Dec 28 '18 at 06:58
  • We don't have access to upgrade chrome. Hence need to work with Chrome V70 :) – Karthik K Dec 28 '18 at 06:59
  • Checkout my answer update and let me know the status. – undetected Selenium Dec 28 '18 at 07:07
  • Tried all versions from V2.42 - V2.45. Still no luck. – Karthik K Dec 28 '18 at 07:38
  • I'm pretty sure you have 2 instances of _Chrome_ installed within your system, the default instance with Chrome version **< 70.x** while manually you access the other instance installed at a customized location with _Chrome_ version **70.x** – undetected Selenium Dec 28 '18 at 07:53
  • Sorry for delayed reply. Is there any way we could direct to use specific version of chrome by mentioning installed path? – Karthik K Jan 04 '19 at 10:15
