I have an error:

Error: Type: <class 'selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException'>
Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 96
Current browser version is 98.0.4758.82 with binary path .....

To get latest driver I'm using this code:

browser = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install(),options=options)

Why on my local machine and one of the VMs, it will get the latest (version 98...) and on one of the VM, it will get only version 96.

  • Is it something that need to be changed on VM to make it work correctly?

P.S. Two VMs are identical copies.

  • Interesting... Seems to be chromedriver can't detect it's browser version or does it another way than webdriver-manager. When webdriver-manager can. Need to research the priority how chromedriver detects browser version and add the same logic to python webdriver-manager library. – gore Feb 16 '22 at 08:13

The VM in which you observe:

chrome=98.0

is updated to the latest version. Hence, Webdriver Manager detects Chrome v98.0 and accordingly downloads the matching ChromeDriver v98.0.4758

Where as the VM in which you observe:

chrome=96.0

haven't been updated since Chrome v96.0 and possibly auto-upgrade is disabled. Hence, Webdriver Manager detects Chrome v96.0 and accordingly downloads the matching ChromeDriver v96.0.4758

  • Yes, but why does the other one detect ONLY version 96? and not 98? – DSM Feb 04 '22 at 14:22
  • Browser on the VM (where detected version 96) is version 98 this is why conflict appeared – DSM Feb 04 '22 at 14:23
  • @DSM Checkout the updated answer and let me know if any queries. – undetected Selenium Feb 04 '22 at 14:26
  • I thought about it , but as I have mentioned Chromer IS appropriately updated - `Version 98.0.4758.82 (Official Build) (64-bit)` – DSM Feb 04 '22 at 14:29
  • Chrome `Version 98.0.4758.82 (Official Build) (64-bit)` is not installed at the default location. Chrome installed at the **default location** is still **v96.0** – undetected Selenium Feb 04 '22 at 14:31
  • `C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application` - folder with this name - `98.0.4758.82` – DSM Feb 04 '22 at 14:39
  • Chrome driver 98 has some issue. Selenium worked fine for me when I used version 97 with webdriver-manager. Now it's not working and using firefox webdriver. – user5967613 Feb 09 '22 at 18:19

If you are using Chrome version 98, download ChromeDriver 98.0.4758.80

https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

Download Option 2.
