selenium: Cannot launch ChromeDriver[🐛 Bug]:

What happened?

I got an error saying that my selenium version is 114 while chrome version is 116. I installed new version for selenium (4.11) and chrome driver 116 win64. I still got errors. According to an advice I read, I searched for chromedriver and deleted it from under C:\Users\Gidi.cache\selenium. Still got errors.

I see in the log attached below this line (log was produced using SeleniumLogger): 2023-08-26 22:16:58 FINE - chromedriver not found in PATH I don’t see an executable named chromedriver in the files I downloaded. I will be grateful for help.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Have Chrome 114 installed with selenium 4.9. Now, update Chrome and see the erorr about version differences. Now, update selenium to 4.11 and download chrome driver 116, and delete chromedriver.exe from .cache folder. Try to launch again. I also tried to delete my project and start a new one.
