Hello,

Is there a way to programmatically determine the versions of the Chrome Browser and Chrome Web Driver so the users of my code can be sure they are up-to-date?

This seems to be the main reason for support calls and breaking my code.

THe users are NOT IT people or very program astute.

Hi Frank.

I do this from C# code:

var browser_ver = driver.Capabilities["browserVersion"].ToString(); // eg. "76.0.3809.132"

var chrome = (Dictionary<string, object>)driver.Capabilities["chrome"];

var Chromedriver_ver_string = chrome["chromedriverVersion"].ToString();

Whats driver here? Just checking local machine or a way to pull through an API?
Thanks in advance

Driver is just plain Chromedriver:

driver = new ChromeDriver();
