Selenium WebDriver Chrome 115 stopped working

Question

I have Chrome 115.0.5790.99 installed on Windows, and I use Selenium 4.10.0. In my Python code, I call service = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()) and it returns the error:

ValueError: There is no such driver by url [sic] https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_115.0.5790.

I use ChromeDriverManager().install() in order to ensure the use of last stable version of webdriver. How to solve the issue?

My simple code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
import time

# Install Webdriver
service = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())

# Create Driver Instance
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)

# Get Web Page
driver.get('https://www.crawler-test.com')
time.sleep(5)
driver.quit()

Error output:

I tried the following but no success:

• to disable Chrome auto-update, but Chrome manages to update itself anyway (https://www.minitool.com/news/disable-automatic-chrome-updates.html and https://www.webnots.com/7-ways-to-disable-automatic-chrome-update-in-windows-and-mac);
• to install Chrome 114 and webdriver for version 114, than it works till Chrome get updated automatically;
• to follow instructions https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads/version-selection but when generating URL and running link https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_115.0.5790 I get error No such object: chromedriver/LATEST_RELEASE_115.0.5790

How can I solve the issue till webdriver for Chrome 115 will be finally released at the download location?

Answer 1

Selenium Manager is now fully included with selenium 4.10.0 (and newer), so this is all you need:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

service = Service()
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)
# ...
driver.quit()

If the driver isn't found on your system PATH, Selenium Manager will automatically download it.

If you're wondering why you're now seeing this error for ChromeDriverManager, it's because developer.chrome.com/docs/chromedriver/downloads only goes up to version 114 due to driver restructuring by the Chromium Team for the new Chrome-for-Testing.

This worked for me:

 service = Service(ChromeDriverManager(version="114.0.5735.90").install())
