Selenium: Resolving chrome webdriver.py error / throwing exception on python selenium

Problem:

while running a selenium script, webdriver.py always throwing exception like :

File "C:Python27libsite-packagesseleniumwebdriverchromewebdriver.py", line 67, in __init__
desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities)
File "C:Python27libsite-packagesseleniumwebdriverremotewebdriver.py", line 87, in __init__
self.start_session(desired_capabilities, browser_profile)
File "C:Python27libsite-packagesseleniumwebdriverremotewebdriver.py", line 141, in start_session
'desiredCapabilities': desired_capabilities,


even if I already used the correct chromedriver location:

browser = webdriver.Chrome("C:/Python27/chromedriver.exe")

the error still showed up.

Solution:

After several hours looking for solution, I solved the problem by using the latest version of chromedriver.

At the moment I wrote this article, my current chrome version is v54, so I used chromedriver v2.25 which the release notes stated it supports Chrome v53-55.

Download chromedriver v2.25

Hope this help.

P.S

I tested on both mac OS and windows and it worked.
