Sessionnotcreatedexception: Message: Session Not Created: This Version of Chromedriver Only Supports Chrome Version 81

I solved these kinds of problems using the webdrive manager.

You can automatically use the correct chromedriver by using the webdrive-manager. Install the webdrive-manager:

pip install webdriver-manager

Then use the driver in python as follows

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

This answer is taken from

Do below steps :

1. Check the version of chrome browser.

2. download chromedriver of same version from

3. Give correct path in the pycharm and run the code.

I got the same message on MacOS:

"selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 81"

Then I run this command, it's gone:

# Homebrew 3
brew upgrade chromedriver

# Homebrew < 3
brew cask upgrade chromedriver

This error message...

SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 81

...implies that the ChromeDriver v81 was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser where is version is other then 81.0.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

• You mentioned about using chromedriver=80 and chrome=80 but somehow while your program execution ChromeDriver v 81.0 is used.

• So, it's quite evident your have chromedriver=81.0 present within your system and is present within the system PATH variable which gets invoked while you:

  driver = webdriver.Chrome()
  

Solution

There are two solutions:

• Either you upgrade chrome to Chrome Version 81.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v81.0 release notes)

• Or you can override the default chromedriver v81.0 binary location with chromedriver v80.0 binary location as follows:

  from selenium import webdriver
  
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
  driver.get(')
