Getting this same issue with Chrome 124. Chrome 123 works ok.

To my knowledge, WebDriverManager 5.8.0 works correctly with both Chrome 123 and 124.

So, to understand this issue, as asked in the issue template, it is necessary to report the WebDriverManager traces. I mean the following:

@bonigarcia it's working now.
I believe the root cause for the error was the following.
A week ago when Chrome was updated to v124, there were no chromedriver of version 124 at https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/.
I remember, a few days ago the latest version available there was 123, and some section was even red (I don't remember clearly which exactly).

Now as the latest chromedirver version available at https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/ is 124.xxxx, everything works.

Getting this error for chrome 124.

I was getting the same error here today. What fixed the issue for me was to remove the old cached Chrome Driver 114 version at:

%USERPROFILE%\.cache\selenium\chromedriver\win64

Seems webdrivermanager will always use whatever version is on that folder, without checking if there are new ones in case of an incompatible Chrome version.
