I am trying to install RSelenium for webscraping but am not able to get a chromedriver that matches with my current chrome version. I do not want to downgrade to an older google chrome as that seems to not be advised.
On updates as well, my chrome version seems to update to a version for which google chrome driver is not available. Currently, my chrome version is 119.0.6045.160 for which a chrome driver is not yet available. This seems to be a recurring issue where I seem to miss out on the chrome driver that could be compatible with my current chrome version on update. I am new to this and may be missing out on something, so please help me out! I want to add that I want to scrape on R, so any guidance on how to do this on R, would be very helpful.
"Currently, my chrome version is 119.0.6045.160 for which a chrome driver is not yet available"
Above is not true. Only the major versions MUST match for compatibility. So in your case versions 119 needs to match. Match of minor version(0), patch(6045) and build(160) is optional.
There is a stable version of ChromeDriver which is available for GoogleChrome v119. You can use it.
Visit the below link and download chromedriver.exe based on your system's platform(i.e. windows, Linux etc.)
