How can I check the version of selenium?
I am currently engaged in a particular task that is related to working on an automation project in Python programming language and in this I need to ensure that the correct version of selenium is installed so that I can avoid compatibility issues with my code. How can I check programmatically my version of selenium which is installed in my environment?
In the context of selenium, here are the examples given programmatically of how you can check the version of selenium installed in your Python environment:-
Try:
Import selenium
From selenium import webdriver
From selenium.common.exceptions import WebDriverException
# Get the version of Selenium installed
Selenium_version = selenium.__version__
Print(“Selenium Version:”, selenium_version)
# Check if a WebDriver is available for the installed Selenium version
Try:
Webdriver.Chrome()
Print(“ChromeDriver found for Selenium version”, selenium_version)
Except WebDriverException as e:
Print(“ChromeDriver not found for Selenium version”, selenium_version)
Print(“Error:”, e.msg)
Try:
Webdriver.Firefox()
Print(“GeckoDriver found for Selenium version”, selenium_version)
Except WebDriverException as e:
Print(“GeckoDriver not found for Selenium version”, selenium_version)
Print(“Error:”, e.msg)
Except ImportError:
Print(“Selenium is not installed. Please install Selenium using ‘pip install selenium’.”)
Except Exception as e:
Print(“An error occurred while checking Selenium version:”, e)
Here is the process given by using java programming language:-
Import org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities;
Import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType;
Import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;Public class SeleniumVersionChecker {
Public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a RemoteWebDriver instance (you can use any WebDriver implementation)
RemoteWebDriver driver = null;
Try { // Initialize the WebDriver instance (e.g., ChromeDriver, FirefoxDriver, etc.) // For demonstration purposes, we’re using ChromeDriver here
System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”, “path_to_chromedriver.exe”);
Driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Get the Capabilities of the WebDriver
Capabilities capabilities = driver.getCapabilities();
// Get the version of Selenium WebDriver
String seleniumVersion = (String) capabilities.getCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_VERSION);
System.out.println(“Selenium Version: “ + seleniumVersion);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(“An error occurred while checking Selenium version: “ + e.getMessage());
} finally {
// Close the WebDriver instance
If (driver != null) {
Driver.quit();
}
}
}
}

Create a file named app.js (or any other name you prefer) with the following content:
Const express = require(‘express’);
Const { Builder } = require(‘selenium-webdriver’);
Const app = express();
App.get(‘/checkSeleniumVersion’, async (req, res) => {
Let seleniumVersion;
Try {
Const capabilities = await new Builder().forBrowser(‘chrome’).build().getCapabilities();
seleniumVersion = capabilities.get(‘version’);
} catch (error) {
Console.error(‘Error checking Selenium version:’, error);
seleniumVersion = ‘Unknown’;
}
Res.json({ seleniumVersion });
});
Const port = 3000;
App.listen(port, () => {
Console.log(`Server running on port ${port}`);
});
