Hi Raghav, this syntax is not working for the chrome browser version 117, can you provide any solution ?
Sai
please send me the exact part or code that is not working along with error message or logs
Hi @@RaghavPal , I am using the below syntax and getting error like
Syntax : driver = webdriver.chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
Error :
"SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 115
Current browser version is 117.0.5938.92 with binary path C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
The error message "SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 115" means that the version of ChromeDriver you are using is not compatible with the version of Chrome you are using.
To fix this error, you can try the following:
1. **Update ChromeDriver.** You can update ChromeDriver using the following command:
```
pip install chromedriver-updater
```
This will install the latest version of ChromeDriver to your system.
2. **Use the correct version of ChromeDriver.** You can find the correct version of ChromeDriver for your version of Chrome on the ChromeDriver download page.
Once you have updated or downloaded the correct version of ChromeDriver, you should be able to run your Selenium code without any errors.
Here is an example of how to use Selenium Python to start a Chrome WebDriver instance:
```python
from selenium import webdriver
# Update or download ChromeDriver
# ...
# Create a new Chrome WebDriver instance
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
# Navigate to a website
driver.get("example.com")
# ...
# Close the WebDriver instance
driver.quit()
```
I hope this helps
Would be great if you can add this video to the Udemy course as well, like a section for improvements, thanks for this :)

Hi Jose, I have shown the solution in this video from th-cam.com/video/BURK7wMcCwU/w-d-xo.html.
Please check. stackoverflow.com/questions/10253826/path-issue-with-pytest-importerror-no-module-named-yadayadayada
on command line go one folder up from the folder from where you have any imports in your script
For example this is your project structure: ProjectFolder/Example/Demo/file.py In you file.py you have your code with import statements.
Suppose one of the import is from Demo folder So on command line goto folder Example (parent of demo folder) and then say command python -m unittest Demo.file . (note do not give .py extension)
Hi Raghav,
This Video was very useful. Thanks a Lot.
Can you tell me if we can use Webdriver Manager with Unittest Framework?
If we can can you show us how can that be done.
Hi Sireesha, you should be able to use that, there is no limitation on this, Will plan
Hi Rag,
My PyCharm cannot read the "from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager"
Hi Louis, pls check if the library is added properly. Please check the following
1. Your import statements, Check they are correct
2. Check the required libraries are imported in the project
PyCharm (File in windows) -> Preferences (Settings on Windows) -> Project -> Project InterpreterHere you can see list of libraries
You can also click on '+' sign to add new library (python module)
WebDriver Manager can support ie??
Yes Alex, It can. github.com/SergeyPirogov/webdriver_manager
Thank you for this amazing tutorial, Raghav!
Could you please tell me if we can make this script as an exe file with the pyinstaler without needing to set the chromedriver as a binary file ?
Hi Gabriel, I will have to check on that with hands-on. You can try and take some online help
Thank you. But in selenium 4 I'm unable to configure webdriver manager in pycharm. Could you please share an update video?
I will check and update on this
Hi Raghav, if possible could you please add extent reports for this
Hi Babji, I am not 100% sure, but as I see on extent report page, it is available for java and .net extentreports.com/documentation/
Allure Reports may be more suitable for python selenium
Hi Raghav !!
Am getting this below error when trying to install the driver for Microsoft Edge, Can you please help me:
ValueError: Could not get version for Chrome with this command: reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Edge\BLBeacon" /v version
Hi Arun, looks like some base issue in your code, If you are trying to get Edge, why it is complaining about Chrome. Can check the code again and this will help stackoverflow.com/questions/57169524/using-python-selenium-for-microsoft-edge
www.programcreek.com/python/example/100028/selenium.webdriver.Edge
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver-chromium?tabs=c-sharp
Hi Raghav,
Appreciate your response !!
Still the issue is not resolved, I already did some online search but it didn't help me.
Even I am not sure why it is showing on the Chrome when am installing for Microsoft EDGE driver.
Looks like there may be some dependencies, it shows " EdgeChromium" driver.
I think, i got to know the problem, in the Registry entries, it is searching for the Edge version but unfortunately no keys are present for Edge and there is no Edge inside Microsoft, in my system: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Edge\BLBeacon"
Am searching to find out what values to be added in my registry entry.
"ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value."
Below is my code, it's simple:
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager
import time
driver=webdriver.Edge(EdgeChromiumDriverManager().install())
url="google.com"
driver.get(url)
Please let me know if you come across, any fix for this.
Even I will need to check this online, Will let you know if I find something

Hi raghav , ur video is helpful but I am getting error " msg = f"Unable to obtain driver for {options.capabilities['browserName']} using Selenium Manager."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ " while using this . Please help me
IThe error message you're seeing indicates that there's a problem with the driver setup. Specifically, it's related to the use of `ChromeDriverManager` and the `webdriver.Chrome()` method. Let's address this step by step:
1. Selenium Manager and ChromeDriver:
- Selenium Manager is a new tool that helps manage browser drivers for Selenium out of the box.
- It configures browser drivers (such as ChromeDriver, Firefox, and Edge) if they are not already present on your system's PATH.
- If you already have browser drivers installed, Selenium Manager will be ignored.
- Note that Selenium Manager is still in beta, and Selenium is gradually adding support for this feature
2. The Issue:
- The error message you're encountering is likely due to changes in Selenium 4.10.0.
- The `executable_path` argument was removed from `webdriver.Chrome()` in Selenium 4.10.0.
- Instead, you should use the `service` argument to set up the driver.
- Selenium Manager automatically downloads the driver if it's not found on your system PATH.
3. Solution:
- If your Selenium version is 4.6.0 or above, you don't need to set the `executable_path`.
- You can simplify your code as follows:
```python
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
```
- Alternatively, if you want to continue using Selenium Manager, use the following code:
```python
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeDriverManager().install())
```
Try one of the above approaches, and it should resolve the issue

Thank you

Hi Sampath, do the following stepwise
1. Check if the library is installed successfully
2. Your import statements, Check they are correct
3. Check the required libraries are imported in the project
PyCharm (File in windows) -> Preferences (Settings on Windows) -> Project -> Project InterpreterHere you can see list of libraries
You can also click on '+' sign to add new library (python module)
Hi raghav can you help me to fix this issue, i am getting error: raise ValueError(f'Could not get version for Chrome with this command: {cmd}')
ValueError: Could not get version for Chrome with this command: reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\BLBeacon" /v version
Hi Prashant, Pls check if you have provided the right location of chromedriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("path")
Also, it can be due to the version of your selenium and chrome driver are not compatible.
