Answer 1

I have faced same issue as well today and finally fix it. I have tried some steps as below, hope this will help you.

1. check your chrome real version, if you see "Relaunch" button after version info, it means your browser was updated automatically, you have to click Relaunch and check your browser's real version. enter image description here

2. Go to https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html, download corresponding version of chromedriver 3. unzip and replace it 4. restart your project
