Error: Request failed due to session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 83

[ThiagoMFerreira]

Hello,
I am having an issue, I am using chromium version 2.2.0 "chromium": "^2.2.0",
I am trying to run my tests in CI, that is running in a centOS machine, and I am using webdriverIO, my wdio.conf.js is that way:

const wdioConfig = {
    runner: 'local',
    specs: ['./e2e/specs/**'],
    exclude: [],
    maxInstances: 1,
    capabilities: [
        {
            browserName: 'chrome',
            'goog:chromeOptions': {
                binary: chromium.path,
                args: [
                    '--headless',
                    '--window-size=1280,960',
                    '--ignore-certificate-errors',
                    '--disable-gpu',
                    '--allow-insecure-localhost',
                    '--allow-running-insecure-content',
                    '--no-sandbox',
                ],
            },
        },
    ],
services: ['selenium-standalone'],

And when it is running in pipeline i am getting this error:

Does someone knows how to solve this problem?

Hi @ThiagoMFerreira,

This error usually means that version of Chrome/Chromium doesn't correspond the version of chromedriver. This is what mentioned here: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 83.

Try to see the version of chromium by typing: chromium --version in appropriate folder and check whether your version of chromedriver supports this version of Chrome.

I've never worked with webdriver.io but I had a lot of these errors using pure chromedriver (and, I think, wdio uses chromedriver as well), so, I hope, this is the same issue.

P.S. And here's the solution that should work: bonigarcia/webdrivermanager#342 (comment)

Hi @khyati2010 @ashishgarg59, this module is about Chromium and the issues you are having are connected to incorrect version of chromedriver. You need either to use chromium version that is compatible with your chromedriver (thanks to latest contributions you can specify revision you need) or update your chromedriver to the version of chromium you got.
