I am trying to run Protractor tests on my Angular app, but am facing an issue with my version of ChromDriver not matching my version of Chrome.
I'm able to run webdriver-manager start fine with no issues, but when I try to run my tests I get this error message:
SessionNotCreatedError: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 85 Build info: version: '3.141.59', revision: 'e82be7d358', time: '2018-11-14T08:25:53'
I checked my version of Chrome & that is version 84. But when I try to update Chrome it says that my version is up to date.
So I have 2 questions:
(1) How come this latest version (85) of Chrome isn't available to me?
(2) Is there a way I can downgrade my webdriver so that it picks up version 84 of Chrome?
I answered this question here as well: https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/5460 The easiest possible fix is to use:
webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome=84.0.4147.30
webdriver-manager start --versions.chrome=84.0.4147.30
to update and start the webdriver server. This forces the version to stay to 84. What I think happened v85 of the chromedriver was added and labelled as latest (you can see this here) which forced webdriver-manager to start downloading version 85 (it by default downloads the latest version).
