Session not created, This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 74 [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 74 error with ChromeDriver Chrome using Selenium
(24 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
In my machine the version of the Chrome Browser is Version 78.0.3904.108.
And following is the code I used to run the selenium script in the chrome browser.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\ChampWk21\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
Following is the Exception I got when I try to run the code:
Starting ChromeDriver 74.0.3729.6 (255758eccf3d244491b8a1317aa76e1ce10d57e9-refs/branch-heads/3729#{#29}) on port 27833
Only local connections are allowed.
Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.

I have developed a framework for UI Testing. And this error occurred because of chrome driver version is not compatible with the Chrome Browser. So I have to use the chrome driver version which is suiting for the current version of the Chrome Browser.
My Question is when the version of the Chrome Browser is changing time to time do we have to download the chrome driver which is suiting for the exact version of the Chrome browser. Aren't there other ways to handle it. Specially when comes to a framework use, can't we implement a way to automatically update the drivers instead of manually download the drivers and set the path.
Thanks.

You can automatically download the correct driver by using the WebDriverManager. It downloads the correct driver version for your used Browser version.
I am using this for more than a year with Chrome autoupdate on more than 80 Hosts and it works without any problems.
Just use following line before initializing the ChromeDriver (Works for other drivers too):
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
It would be the best to include the library by using Gradle or Maven.
Maven
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>3.7.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Gradle
dependencies {
testCompile("io.github.bonigarcia:webdrivermanager:3.7.1")
}
There are similar libraries available for other languages e.g. Python.

Running Chromedriver on Ubuntu Server headlessly

I am using Selenium with Chromedriver in Java (1.8) to do some automated web crawling:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("someurl.com");
I am attempting to migrate to an Ubuntu 16.04 Server. On the server I have installed the Ubuntu chromedriver version 2.37, chrome version 65. According to the chromedriver documentation these versions are compatible. I have changed the code specifying the location of the chromedriver in Ubuntu:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/usr/lib/local/chromedriver");
Prior to running my program I start up xvfb:
Xvfb -ac :99 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 &
export DISPLAY=:99
Then execute my program:
java -jar myprogram.jar
The following is printed to the console:
Starting ChromeDriver 2.37.544315 (730aa6a5fdba159ac9f4c1e8cbc59bf1b5ce12b7) on port 10574

The error does gives us some idea about whats wrong happening :
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
As you are trying to initiate Chromedriver and Chrome on Ubuntu Server headless you have to pass a couple of Options as follows :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver')
driver.get('http://google.com/')
driver.quit()
Additional Notes
As per the mandatory Requirements and #1341 ensure the following :
Chromedriver is within /usr/local/bin/
Chrome Browser is within /usr/bin/google-chrome

WebDriverException: java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost error with Selenium 3 and chromedriver on MacOS

Hi I have this weird issue. I am not able to run tests with chromedriver on my Mac. I have searched every possible corner here and none seems to help.
My browser is launched, but it freezes just before the driver.get(url) is called.
My environment:
MacOS High Sierra, Latest chromedriver as of 12March 2018, Latest selenium 3.10, Latest TestNG 6.14
My code:
public class Temp {
#Test()
public void test1() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "src/test/resources/chromedriver");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--test-type");
options.addArguments("ignore-certificate-errors");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in/");
driver.quit();
}
}
Exception I'm getting is:

Additional Info:
I have tried to do a regression by using older version of chromedriver, older version of TestNG, older version of selenium, but none seems to be working.
Thanks in advance.

Your main issue is the version compatibility between the binaries you are using as follows :
You are using chromedriver=v2.9
Release Notes of chromedriver=2.9 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome v31-34
Your Chrome Browser version is unknown to us. (assuming Chrome Browser is updated to v65.x level)
Your Selenium Client version is 3.10.0.
Your JDK version is 1.8.0_101 which is pretty ancient.
So there is a clear mismatch between the JDK v8u101 , Selenium Client v3.10.0 , ChromeDriver version (v2.9) and the current Chrome Browser version (v65.0)
Solution
Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u162.
Keep Selenium to current levels Version 3.10.0.
Upgrade ChromeDriver to stable ChromeDriver v2.36 level.
Keep Chrome version at Chrome v65.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.36 release notes)
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
If your base Chrome version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Chrome.
Execute your #Test.

Java Selenium Webdriver Connection Refused

I am getting the all too common connection refused error on my selenium webdriver. The same code was executing a few weeks ago.
I have been reading in circles through existing posts and have tried updating geckodriver and FireFox to no avail. I can run the same code on another computer running the same versions of the driver, browser and libraries etc. How can I find the cause specific to this machine? the error is below.

And I get this running even the following basic code.
enter code here
package seleniumPrograms;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
public class Gecko_Driver {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Debug 1");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
System.out.println("Debug 2");
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
System.out.println("Debug 3");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
System.out.println("Debug 4");
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.quit();
}
}
Example with chrome.
#Test
public void testGoogleSearch() throws InterruptedException {
// Optional, if not specified, WebDriver will search your path for chromedriver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");

driver.get("http://www.google.com/xhtml");
Thread.sleep(5000); // Let the user actually see something!
WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
searchBox.sendKeys("ChromeDriver");
searchBox.submit();
Thread.sleep(5000); // Let the user actually see something!
driver.quit();
}

Our security dept introduced a policy which blocked access to the execution of the geckodriver.exe. This was identified by attempting to run from cmd. Not sure why I didn't get the meaningful error in the IDE (blocked by group policy) for gecko, I did get this error for chrome and IE. In order to use the driver it needed to be saved in Program files though this may be specific to my situation. If you get this error for Geckodriver i would suggest trying to execute it from cmd to see if there is a policy issue.

Here is the solution to your Question:
I don't see any error as such in your code but the error stack trace HttpHostConnectException says it all.
Perform the following steps:
I don't see any necessity to use throws InterruptedException, you may consider to remove it.
As per best practices try to keep the geckodriver in convenient locations: e.g. C:\\your_directory.
Avoid using directory names with Temp.
Though you have taken help of DesiredCapabilities Class, you haven't passed it while you initiated the driver instance. You must be doing:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
Clear your Mozilla Firefox Browser cache.
From the Windows Task Manager, manually kill all the running instances of geckodriver.exe
You may require to run the CCleaner to keep off all the unwanted stuff.
Restart you machine.
Execute your Test. It should work well.
At the end of your Test Step do call driver.quit() to prevent geckodriver instances from dangling.
Here is your own working code block adding the System.setProperty line:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
System.out.println("Debug 1");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
System.out.println("Debug 2");
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
System.out.println("Debug 3");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
System.out.println("Debug 4");
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.quit();
Let me know if this helps you.

I was facing the same error here. After a system reboot, the code worked just fine.
My problem was that my code left some processes open at the end, and they were using a lot of RAM.
Try running:
pkill geckodriver
pkill firefox
pkill selenium
And then run your code again.

Selenium Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException

I'm working on selenium using Firefor webdriver and getting the following exception when I create my webdriver instance.
WebDriver driver;
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
The strange thing that the code was running, and when I came to rerun it again, it gave me this exception
The exception message is:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.http.client.protocol.RequestAddCookies).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

Thanks.

Try to use the latests version of selenium.
I have catched a similar exception few times, when get to selenium 4+ it disappeared.
Or maybe correct finishing of session will help:
webdriver.close(); // closes the browser or current page which is on focus
webdriver.quit(); // shutdown the web driver instance or destroy it's instance
