Error : This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 97 Current browser version is 96.0.4664.45 with binary path

Solution 1:^[1]

This mean that you have different versions of Chrome Browser and Chrome Driver. Make sure you've installed the right version

check browser v.: chrome://settings/help

check webdriver v.: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

Solution 2:^[2]

This error message...

Error : This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 97 Current browser version is 96.0.4664.45 with binary path

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.

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

You are using chrome=96.0.4664.45
Release Notes of ChromeDriver v96.0 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 96

But you are using chromedriver=97.0
Release Notes of chromedriver=97.0 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 97

So there is a clear mismatch between chromedriver=97.0 and the chrome=96.0

Solution

Ensure that:

ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v96.0 level.
Chrome is updated to current _chrome=96.0.4664.45. (as per chrome=96.0.4664.45 release notes).

Solution 3:^[3]

Type the following commands in the command prompt:

pip uninstall chromedriver_binary
pip install chromedriver-binary==96.0.4664.18.0

Solution 4:^[4]

go to chrome > help > About Google Chrome. make sure chrome version is 97 and should work

Solution 5:^[5]

You have to remove ChromeDriver version 97 and install ChromeDriver version 96. This is what i did to fix the problem.

sudo apt remove chromium-chromedriver
wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/96.0.4664.45/chromedriver_linux64.zip
sudo unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip chromedriver -d /usr/local/bin/
