Fix SessionNotCreatedException

in Selenium

Solution

The SessionNotCreatedException in Selenium usually arises from a mismatch between the WebDriver version (e.g., ChromeDriver, EdgeDriver) and the browser version installed. To fix this, download the WebDriver version that corresponds to your current browser version from the official vendor website (e.g., ChromeDriver downloads for Chrome) and ensure it is accessible on your system's PATH, or specify the webdriver path when instantiating the webdriver in your code. Alternatively, use a WebDriver manager like WebDriverManager to automatically handle driver downloads and configuration.
