This error message...
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 87
Current browser version is 86.0.4240.198 with binary path C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
...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 chromedriver=87.0
- Release Notes of chromedriver=87.0 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome version 87
- You are using Chrome v86.0.4240.198
So there is a clear mismatch between ChromeDriver v2.40 and the Chrome Browser v85.0
Solution
Ensure that:
- ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v87.0 level.
- Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 87.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v87.0 release notes).
- 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()
withintearDown(){}
method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.

I am trying to get selenium to open a site and I don't really have any errors in my PyCharm editor but when I run my code I am getting a lot of errors I do not really understand it would be nice to get some help
from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe") driver.get("https://www.singaporetech.edu.sg/") # get gets url print(driver.title) # title of the page driver.close()
This is the error I get:

KunduK over 3 yearsIf you read the last line
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 87 Current browser version is 86.0.4240.198
It says version mismatch. You can refer following link to find compatible version. chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
