Chromedriver launch failing after updating to v80

[rosolko]

Unable to reproduce this bug.
Reproduce your code in a test, run it and it's works well.

My chrome has version - 80.0.3987.87 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Library download chromedriver with version - 80.0.3987.16

Can you please provide double-check that issue and provide more info.
Browser version, downloaded driver version and test logs with error stack trace.

Hi rosolko,

The error message is : Message = "session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 78 (SessionNotCreated)"

The stacktrace is as below:
at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.UnpackAndThrowOnError(Response errorResponse)
at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.Execute(String driverCommandToExecute, Dictionary`2 parameters)
at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.StartSession(ICapabilities desiredCapabilities)
at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver..ctor(ICommandExecutor commandExecutor, ICapabilities desiredCapabilities)
at OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver..ctor(ChromeDriverService service, ChromeOptions options, TimeSpan commandTimeout)

at Tax_Tool.UserControlFlex.Worker_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) in C:\Users\roysouma\source\repos\TaxBotApp\ConsoleApp1\UserControlFlex.xaml.cs:line 109

My chrome version is 80.0.3987.87 and I checked the downloaded version is also correct in the path C:\Users\roysouma\source\repos\TaxBotApp\ConsoleApp1\bin\Debug\Chrome\80.0.3987.16\X64.

I'm also unable to figure out why this is happening as it is working fine with v79 and downloaded version is also fine as stated above.
Others in my team are also facing the same problem.

Also for your reference, this is my calling code:
var chromeDriver = new ChromeDriver();
try
{
var curDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
var webDriver = chromeDriver.GetDriver();
new Program(webDriver, ipObj).Start();
chromeDriver.Dispose();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
throw;
}

and error is occuring at this line : var webDriver = chromeDriver.GetDriver();

Note: My selenium version is 3.141.0

Hi rosolko,

I unhid the command prompt and saw it is firing up old chrome driver:

Starting ChromeDriver 78.0.3904.105 (60e2d8774a8151efa6a00b1f358371b1e0e07ee2-refs/branch-heads/3904@{#877}) on port 58584

Added a zip containing the csproj and packages file if you need.

Hi rosoljo,

I could debug the issue and find the root cause. The issue is occurring at line Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable(name, newPathVariable, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process); in WebDriverManager. It is not throwing any error but also not adding to PATH. Hence it is not finding the correct webdriver.

So what do I have to do so that it add the chromedriver path properly in Environment variables?

[rosolko]

Check if your current path variable.
Is it contains chromedriver 78 version path?
Is it contains chromedriver 80 version path?

I mean, not from a script, just generally, on your local machine.

It was some system issue. Uninstalled VS and deleted package. Reinstalled VS and checked out package and now everything went back to normal.
