I tried to execute the test case with protractor using chrome browser but due to chrome browser update it is not getting compatible with version of chrome. i tried to update the chrome version by my findings in google and driver have been updated in protractor folder but still facing same issue.

command used for updating the chrome driver version

webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome=78.0.3904.70

chromedriver: file exists C:\Users\DELL\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium\chromedriver_78.0.3904.70.zip

Error Log

W/launcher - Ignoring uncaught error SessionNotCreatedError: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver on
ly supports Chrome version 76
  (Driver info: chromedriver=76.0.3809.12 (220b19a666554bdcac56dff9ffd44c300842c933-refs/branch-heads/3809@{#83}),platform=W
indows NT 10.0.18362 x86_64)

When i start the selenium server i'm able to find the 76 version of chrome but in my webdriver-manager i'm able to find the latest version only

There are 3 types of installation:

  • Global
  • Local
  • Local of your dependency (either global or local). I actually don't know if there is a definition to those installations

You are updating global, what you need to update is the local installation of your protractor

So try to navigate to your the protractor folder (I use local for tests), then run

node ./bin/webdriver-manager update --gecko=false --versions.chrome $VERSION

I also got the same error when running my e2e tests using Selenium and Protractor

error SessionNotCreatedError: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 76

I run the command mentioned in the last comment

 node ./bin/webdriver-manager update --gecko=false --versions.chrome=78.0.3904.87

inside my protractor folder

#PROJECT_NAME/node_modules/protractor

and worked like a charm

Thanks!
