Which ChromeDriver version is compatible with which Chrome Browser version

Question

Actually I m a bit confused  Although I read several resources about this   For having a test of Selenium 3 using ChromeBrowser we need an extra app called ChromeDriver   I found this text from GitHub      ChromeDriver is only compatible with Chrome version 12 0 712 0 or   newer  If you need to test an older version of Chrome  use Selenium RC   and a Selenium-backed WebDriver instance    My question is are all ChromeDriver versions compatible with all Chrome version  No conflict between each version   Where can I find documentation of all versions matching between the ChromeDriver  amp  ChromeBrowser

For starters  all ChromeDriver versions are not compatible with all versions of Chrome  Sometimes I wake up  run my script  if it breaks  I update the driver   Then it works   Chrome has quietly updated itself without telling me   For a starting point of finding which chromedrivers go with which chrome versions this link brings you to the current release notes   You can look at previous release notes for earlier versions   https   chromedriver storage googleapis com 2 26 notes txt  ----------ChromeDriver v2 26  2016-12-09 ----------  Supports Chrome v53-55  This page will show you the current release https   sites google com a chromium org chromedriver downloads

I found  that chrome and chromedriver versions support policy has changed recently  As stated on downloads page    If you are using Chrome version 89  please download ChromeDriver 89 0 4389 23  If you are using Chrome version 88  please download ChromeDriver 88 0 4324 96  If you are using Chrome version 87  please download ChromeDriver 87 0 4280 88  If you are using Chrome version 86  please download ChromeDriver 86 0 4240 22  If you are using Chrome version 85  please download ChromeDriver 85 0 4183 87  If you are using Chrome version 84  please download ChromeDriver 84 0 4147 30  If you are using Chrome version 83  please download ChromeDriver 83 0 4103 39  If you are using Chrome version 81  please download ChromeDriver 81 0 4044 69  If you are using Chrome version 80  please download ChromeDriver 80 0 3987 106  If you are using Chrome version 79  please download ChromeDriver 79 0 3945 36  If you are using Chrome version 78  please download ChromeDriver 78 0 3904 105  If you are using Chrome version 77  please download ChromeDriver 77 0 3865 40  If you are using Chrome version 76  please download ChromeDriver 76 0 3809 126  If you are using Chrome version 75  please download ChromeDriver 75 0 3770 140  If you are using Chrome version 74  please download ChromeDriver 74 0 3729 6  If you are using Chrome version 73  please download ChromeDriver 73 0 3683 68  For older version of Chrome  please see Barett s anwer     There is general guide to select version of crhomedriver for specific chrome version  https   sites google com a chromium org chromedriver downloads version-selection Here is excerpt   First  find out which version of Chrome you are using  Let s say you have Chrome 72 0 3626 81  Take the Chrome version number  remove the last part  and append the result to URL  quot https   chromedriver storage googleapis com LATEST RELEASE  quot   For example  with Chrome version 72 0 3626 81  you d get a URL  quot https   chromedriver storage googleapis com LATEST RELEASE 72 0 3626 quot   Use the URL created in the last step to retrieve a small file containing the version of ChromeDriver to use  For example  the above URL will get your a file containing  quot 72 0 3626 69 quot    The actual number may change in the future  of course   Use the version number retrieved from the previous step to construct the URL to download ChromeDriver  With version 72 0 3626 69  the URL would be  quot https   chromedriver storage googleapis com index html path 72 0 3626 69  quot   After the initial download  it is recommended that you occasionally go through the above process again to see if there are any bug fix releases   Note  that this version selection algorithm can be easily automated  For example  simple powershell script in another answer has automated chromedriver updating on windows platform

Compatibility matrix  Here is a chart of the compatibility between chromedriver and chrome  This information can be found at the Chromedriver downloads page   chromedriver    chrome 2 46            71-73 2 45            70-72 2 44            69-71 2 43            69-71 2 42            68-70 2 41            67-69 2 40            66-68 2 39            66-68 2 38            65-67 2 37            64-66 2 36            63-65 2 35            62-64 2 34            61-63 2 33            60-62 --------------------- 2 28            57  2 25            54  2 24            53  2 22            51  2 19            44  2 15            42    After 2 46  the ChromeDriver major version matches Chrome  chromedriver    chrome 76 0 3809 68    76 75 0 3770 140   75 74 0 3729 6     74 73 0 3683 68    73   It seems compatibility is only guaranteed within that revision   If you need to run chromedriver across multiple versions of chrome for some reason  well  plug the latest version number of chrome you re using into the Chromedriver version selection guide  then hope for the best  Actual compatibility will depend on the exact versions involved and what features you re using   All versions are not cross-compatible   For example  we had a bug today where chromedriver 2 33 was trying to run this on Chrome 65     ChromeDriver  driver  findElement By id  firstName    sendKeys  hello     Due to the navigation changes in Chrome 63  updated in Chromedriver 2 34  we got back     unknown error  call function result missing  value    Updating to Chromedriver 2 37 fixed the issue
