Hi,

The latest stable Mac Chrome binary is 115.0.5790.114, but there is no corresponding chromedriver under mac-x64 at least.  The latest one only matches the latest Windows stable of .110.  Will this be available shortly?

Thanks,
Ben

Please use https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/ to get the latest available Chrome for Testing + ChromeDriver binaries. See https://groups.google.com/g/chromedriver-users/c/qVPTFXnedw0 for more context.

Hi--thanks.  I am not sure how this is useful, as it doesn't even list the correct latest stable release of Chrome for the Mac.  The latest stable is 115.0.5790.114.  That version is nowhere to be found in the JSON endpoints, or on the page you linked.  How can we possibly reliably automatically determine the correct chromedriver URL when these versions are inconsistent?  Up until now with this new scheme there has always been a chromedriver download that matched the exact Chrome version release on a platform.  Also, the current stable releases even on Windows for example is .110, yet this page says .102 and the "upcoming" is .110.  I think these need to be kept up to date and accurate. The .114 is not found in *any* of the JSON API endpoints files I checked.

Please advise.

We recommend using Chrome for Testing rather than regular Chrome. This way you’re guaranteed to use the exact same version of Chrome + ChromeDriver.

If instead you insist on using regular Chrome and want to match it to a compatible ChromeDriver version, you need to do Version Selection just like before, except now you do it through the new JSON API endpoints.

Up until now with this new scheme there has always been a chromedriver download that matched the exact Chrome version release on a platform. 

This is false.

The JSON endpoints are currently out of date and incorrect.  They reference older versions of the stable chrome releases, for instance.  We need to test on the actual stable (and beta) Chrome releases.  I think it's preferable to just make sure that there is a matching chromedriver available across all platforms when new channel endpoints are released, which is not false, it's been true up until the Mac case a few days ago.

All this Chrome-For-Testing thing is very confusing. 
I currently have Chrome Browser. 115.0.5790.114 on mac-arm64. I downloaded ChromeDriver 115.0.5790.102, because it is the closest one available based on the https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/#stable page (I also checked the JSON endpoints) . Now I'm getting errors 
failed to create driver from callback 'script16906608136241638868675$_run_closure2$_closure4$_closure18@104789a1'
geb.driver.DriverCreationException: failed to create driver from callback 'script16906608136241638868675$_run_closure2$_closure4$_closure18@104789a1'
Could it be because the browser version is different? If so, how can I get the compatible driver?
Why wouldn't you simply release chromedriver together with the chrome browser version? It would make thing so much clearer.

How can I work around this? Do I need to wait until the .114 chromedriver gets released?

I faced the same issue, and i just used this old version of chromedriver 114.0.5735.90 and it's working for me at the moment.

The problem here is that because they’re out of sync with *some* platforms with the chromedriver vs chrome channels, that it’s a manual guessing game as to what to use and is very difficult to automate. 

The json endpoints are completely wrong and do not match the actual release channels at all. 

This should be fixed. There’s no excuse for not having an identically-numbered chromedriver with *actual* stable release versions across all platforms, not just some.
