This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 93

Question

I have a Angular project which runs Karma with puppeteer, and once in a while I get the following error

[11:13:43] E/launcher - session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 93

It seems that happens every time chromedrive lunches a new version.

This is my setup

e2e/protractor.conf.js

module.exports = function (config) {
    process.env.CHROME_BIN = require('puppeteer').executablePath();
  
    config.set({
      basePath: '',
      frameworks: ['jasmine', '@angular-devkit/build-angular'],
      plugins: [
        require('karma-jasmine'),
        require('karma-chrome-launcher'),
        ...
      ],
      ...
      browsers: ['ChromeHeadless'],
      ...
      customLaunchers: {
        headlessChrome: {
          base: "ChromeHeadless",
          flags: [
            "--disable-dev-shm-usage",
            "--disable-extensions",
            "--disable-gpu",
            "--disable-web-security",
            "--headless",
            "--js-flags=--max-old-space-size=8196",
            "--no-proxy-server",
            "--no-sandbox",
          ],
        }
      }
    });
  };  

And my question is, Is there a config to avoid the error every new chromedrive version?

ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 89

Answer 1

Yes, and every time a new release was launched, you need to download and put into your driver path or similar, i dont know if exist a command with pip to did it easier. Chrome Driver version Download
