Selenium error: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 83?

Question

Would appreciate some help on this.

I downloaded CHROMEDRIVER
Copied it to python path in my system

While I try to invoke CHROME browser and set an executable path under Pycharm, I get the below error.

code --- driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path= "C:\Users\vinayak.gulati\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\chromedriver.exe")

Error I get ---- selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 83

Thanks.

something similar happened to me once... [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59621700/selenium-common-exceptions-sessionnotcreatedexception-message-session-not-crea) solved the problem — Lidor shimoni, Apr 28 '20 at 15:16

Your Chrome Driver version needs to match your Chrome Browser version

Get you Chrome Browser version, by typing chrome://version

Download Chrome Driver version that matches you Chrome Browser version, form this website https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

I used this as a starting point for my needs. I ended up checking for version like Asad does and then: `npm i -D chromedriver@~83` for my CucumberJS project. – Neil Gaetano Lindberg Jul 13 '20 at 21:28

No, it's not saying that! It says the driver support chrome 83. don't confuse people. – Code Cooker Apr 22 '21 at 10:33

You can simply downgrade your chromedriver to work with your current Chrome version.

OR

Update the Google Chrome version to 83 will also do the job.

Steps: 1. Go to Help -> About Google Chrome -> Chrome will automatically look for updates(update Chrome to the latest version)

enter image description here

Update it and if it displays version 83.x.x.x.x.x. then it should solve your problem.
