Current chrome browser version is 123.0.6312.59

below are my selenium and webdrivermanager decencies :

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>

my expectation should be chrome launch using the latest chrome version

Answer 1

https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/

Chrome labs has several versions of Chromedriver for the newest Chrome browser update.

1. Find out your OS.
2. Download the appropriate zip folder for your OS.
3. Replace the executable where ever you store the old executable for Chromedriver.

You should be good to go from there!

I ran into the same issue after the newest update.

Answer 2

The below dependency is not required while using Chrome versions grater than 122 onwards. Remove this, it should work.

<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>5.4.1</version>
