[FIXED] Selenium WebDriver Chrome 115 stopped working

Issue

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?

Solution

Until the stable webdriver version 115 is released, the solution is to use the test webdriver and test Chrome accordingly. The steps are:

• uninstall the current installed webdriver and Chrome from the system;

• find the stable version of webdriver and Chrome at Chrome for Testing availability

• search for the binary Chrome and chromedriver (the version of the webdriver and Chrome should be the same!);

• install Chrome (actually you just unzip it and put it in some folder, i.e.: C:\chrome-test-ver);

• set folder C:\chrome-test-ver to the PATH environment variable);

• install webdriver.exe (just unzip it and copy it to the Python folder, i.e.: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311);

• run your Python script with Selenium, and it should work.
