Error : "cannot connect to chrome at 127.0.0.1:54613 from session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 114

Consider:

import undetected_chromedriver as uc
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
import time


# Set up Chrome WebDriver
service = Service()
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
options.add_argument("--profile-directory=Default")
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\athar\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\")

driver = uc.Chrome(service = service, options = options)

driver.get("https://gmail.com/")
time.sleep(10)

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

I just wanted to open Gmail in a Chrome profile, so that I won’t need to login every time and can activate extensions using keyboard shortcuts. Running the above script is giving a chromedriver version error. How can I use the correct version of chromedriver? What do I need to download and what driver path do I need to pass to the web driver function?

Complete Error:

Your Chrome browser updated to a new version that is not currently supported by this method. You could try download the driver by hand in this web (you should get the chrome-driver according to your PC and your Chrome version (117 in this case)):

https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/#stable

Then you only need to change the Service statement to aim that webdriver as follows:

service=Service(executable_path=r"path_to_driver\chromedriver.exe")
