This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 85 [duplicate] - selenium

Question

Hey so I have this simple code to open google using selenium
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_binary
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://google.com')
Instead of opening the google page I get this error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 5, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 85

Answer 1

This error message...
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 85
...implies that the ChromeDriver v85.0 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 mentioned about using chromedriver=85.0.4183.38 and the release notes of chromedriver=85.0.4183.38 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome version 85
Presumably you are using current version of Chrome Browser i.e. Version 84.0.4147.135.
So there is a clear mismatch between ChromeDriver v85.0 and the Chrome Browser v84.0
Solution
Ensure that:
ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v84.0 level.
Chrome is updated to current (released) Chrome Version 84.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v84.0 release notes).
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
Take a System Reboot.
Execute your #Test as non-root user.
Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.

Make sure chrome driver installed match chrome version installed on your machine and path of chrome driver is set to your PATH Variable.
