Chromedriver version 116 bug

Question

Has anyone succeeded in fixing the bug with the new release? My current Chrome browser version is 116.0.5845.111 and I downloaded the Chrome driver version 116 from this source as they instructed and I'm sure the path to the Chrome driver is correct but I'm still getting this error:

This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 114 Current browser version is 116.0.5845.111

People are talking about it in this thread.

Please advise if you have a working solution.

I managed to solve it and it was indeed solved by downloading the correct chromedriver depending on whether you're using Linux, Windows, etc. and by setting correctly the executable_path option. Unfortunately you don't provide details regarding your code or the operating system you're using — antonioACR1, Aug 28 '23 at 02:15

For undetected-chromedriver, there's a solution in this thread: https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver/issues/1477#issuecomment-1680867979

Until a direct fix is available (meaning that undetected-chromedriver starts using the updated driver locations), you can use SeleniumBase's UC Mode as an alternative, which has a slightly modified version of undetected-chromedriver.

First pip install seleniumbase, and then run the following script with python:

from seleniumbase import Driver
import time

driver = Driver(uc=True)
driver.get("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax")
time.sleep(6)
driver.quit()

SeleniumBase also has other formats with its own API:

from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(uc=True) as sb:
    sb.open("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax")
    sb.sleep(3)
    if not sb.is_text_visible("OH YEAH, you passed!", "h1"):
        sb.get_new_driver(undetectable=True)
        sb.open("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax")
        sb.sleep(3)
    sb.assert_text("OH YEAH, you passed!", "h1", timeout=3)
