We are facing the same issue.
C# Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver doesn't support Chome browser from version: 108.0.5359.95 without headless mode
We are using nuget: Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver 108.0.5359.7100
We are having issues when creating ChromeDriver since Chome browser latest version: 108.0.5359.95
We are running on windows and while debagging via VS without headless mode we get an exception when trying to create the driver:
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
The exception:
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: 'unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited normally. (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist) (The process started from chrome location C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)'
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Debagging via VS without headless mode
Expected to work the same as it did until Chrome browser version: 108.0.5359.72
Waiting for a fix, until then we run debug in headless mode - Very hard to develop blindly.
