To download ChromeDriver 117, follow these steps:


Steps to Download ChromeDriver 117

Check Your Chrome Version:

  • Open Chrome and go to chrome://settings/help or click on "Help > About Google Chrome."
  • Confirm that your browser version is 117.x.xxxx.xx to ensure you need ChromeDriver 117.

Visit the Official ChromeDriver Downloads Page:

  • Go to the ChromeDriver official site: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads.

Find ChromeDriver 117:

  • Locate the version 117 download link.
  • Alternatively, use the direct link to the release notes for version 117: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads/version-selection.

Download the Appropriate Driver:

  • Based on your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux), download the correct version of ChromeDriver 117.

Example links for ChromeDriver 117:

  • Windows: ChromeDriver 117 for Windows
  • Mac: ChromeDriver 117 for Mac
  • Linux: ChromeDriver 117 for Linux

Extract and Configure:

  • Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a known location.
  • Add the ChromeDriver executable to your system's PATH or specify its location in your automation scripts.

Example for specifying the path:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

Verify Compatibility:

  • Ensure that your Selenium version is compatible with ChromeDriver 117. Update Selenium if necessary by using the latest version from Maven:
