Unable launch chrome driver version 123.0.6312.59 using selenium java

https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/

Chrome labs has several versions of Chromedriver for the newest Chrome browser update.

1. Find out your OS.
2. Download the appropriate zip folder for your OS.
3. Replace the executable where ever you store the old executable for Chromedriver.

You should be good to go from there!

I ran into the same issue after the newest update.

The below dependency is not required while using Chrome versions grater than 122 onwards. Remove this, it should work.

<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>5.4.1</version>

Selenium 4 has an alternate (Selenium Manager) to WebDriver Manager of Boni Garcia which was used to instantiate the browser driver without configuring it using

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "ChromeDriverPath\\chromedriver.exe");// not needed anymore from Selenium 4

Even webdriver manager is not required anymore

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();//Neither this setup is required from Selenium 4

So from Selenium 4 you can directly launch the chrome browser using the below line

WebDriver d = new ChromeDriver();

From Google Chrome v115 onwards, the chromedriver is now available from the new Chrome for Testing JSON endpoints. See the announcement here: ChromeDriver - Version Selection

Version 5.4.1 of io.github.bonigarcia.WebDriverManager does not cater for that new endpoint, so provides the project with the latest chromedriver from the old repository (hence version 114)

WebDriverManager catered for this change from version 5.5.0 (latest version at time of publishing this answer is 5.8.0) - see here:

• WebDriverManager Support for chromedriver 115+

Update the dependency in the pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
  <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
  <version>5.8.0</version>
</dependency>
