When I try to run a Selenium test, I get an error

If you get the following error:

selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException (...This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version...)

Make sure that (a) the version of your ChromeDriver is the same as the version of Chrome:

$ chromedriver --version
$ chrome --version

If they are not the same:

• download the appropriate version of ChromeDriver.
• unzip the file
• move the chromedriver file into the appropriate location.
  • On Linux, that could be /usr/bin, $HOME/.local/bin, etc.
  • Use the which command to check the location: $ which chromedriver
• Make sure the permissions are correct (755).
