I am running my automation in VM and Chrome version gets automatically updated. Now my VM chrome version is 103.0.5060.114(64-bit).

However, my Selenium chrome driver version is 103.0.5060.5300 which is the latest one in Nuget. Problem is I can't downgrade chrome browser. I use driver.navigate().refresh() method which was working fine a month ago.

Recently I tried different ways of refreshing and added disabling gpu still having the issue. Not sure if Chrome and/or Selenium is aware of that.

Any suggestions?

Chrome Version 103.0.5060.114 is the most updated version and well supported by ChromeDriver 103.0.5060.53 (2022-06-22). So all seems well from configuration per se.

As per the ChromeDriver 103.0.5060.53 (2022-06-22) release notes:

Supports Chrome version 103

  • I didn't have this problem until recent time. Now once I switch back from second URL to first and update to see changes, I get timeout exception. I haven't had that issue a month ago. And haven't had any changes in my scripts. It never failed. Chrome has zero day vulnerability, and I am positive that new version has some issues. – Russel Jul 19 '22 at 02:03

I downgraded Chrome from 103.0.5060.114-1 to 103.0.5060.53-1 on Ubuntu like so:

  • 1st — uninstall the current Chrome via: sudo apt remove google-chrome-stable
  • 2nd — install the deb binary file of the chrome that you want to have:

E.g.

 wget "https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_{VERSION}_amd64.deb"
 sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_{VERSION}_amd64.deb

Particularly, what I entered into the command line to downgrade:

sudo apt remove google-chrome-stable
wget "https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_103.0.5060.53-1_amd64.deb"
sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_103.0.5060.53-1_amd64.deb

Some resources I used when I was looking for the answer for myself:

If you are using some other system, I assume the approach would be the same. I hope all of this would help you!

  • Thanks, Aleksei for your comment and tips. I am running my VS from VM and not allowed to downgrade or change things. And my company didn't want to downgrade it because of some security engineering team's concerns. I will try to run these commands. Much appreciate! – Russel Jul 21 '22 at 22:25
