Question

The latest selenium is not supporting Chrome web driver 116. So I downloaded version 112 and tried to execute but am still getting "selenium support till 114". Chrome browser is updated to 116.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

What I have tried:

Python

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service
(r'c:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe'),options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")

Same question but different member that has 2 solutions - Selenium does not work after setup [^]

Quote:
Selenium can be sensitive to different environments, versions, and configurations. You error could be due to a misconfiguration or incorrect setup. As you did not provide full code, I am guessing as to whether you have imported the correct files/namespaces -

Quote:
Some other checks you can perform -
Make sure that the ChromeDriver executable is in a directory that is included in your system's PATH environment variable. You might need to specify the full path to the ChromeDriver executable in the ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService() call.

Make sure that your Chrome browser and ChromeDriver version are compatible. If you've recently updated your browser, you might need to update your ChromeDriver as well.

Check that you've installed the necessary NuGet packages for Selenium and ChromeDriver in your project.

Ccheck if your firewall or other security software is maybe blocking the execution of ChromeDriver.
