Issue with WebDriver for E2E Testing Due to ChromeDriver Version Compatibility

[balajitoverto]

Hello Support Team,

I am encountering an issue with setting up WebDriver for my Angular project, specifically related to ChromeDriver version compatibility. Here are the details:

Error Message: "SessionNotCreatedError: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 114. Current browser version is 126.0.6478.127."
Environment Details:
Chrome Version: 126.0.6478.127
ChromeDriver Version (current): 114.0.5735.90
Operating System: Windows 10
teps Taken:

I have attempted to update ChromeDriver to match the current Chrome version by downloading the latest version available (126.x.xxxx.x), but the issue persists.
Request:

Could you please assist in resolving this compatibility issue? What steps should I take to ensure that WebDriver can initiate sessions successfully with the current Chrome version?
Please advise on any necessary updates or configurations needed to rectify this issue promptly. Thank you for your assistance.
