Description

Selenium 4.36 was just released (via #16355) to resolve #16304 however, now that Chrome 141 has been released in the intervening period, the error below occurs:

Oct 04, 2025 12:49:12 PM org.openqa.selenium.devtools.CdpVersionFinder findNearestMatch
WARNING: Unable to find an exact match for CDP version 141, returning the closest version; found: 140; Please update to a Selenium version that supports CDP version 141

This will be resolved when 4.37 is released.

@arashi01 I was getting the same error for a couple of days in my ci/cd pipelines when installing chrome via:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

however, recently the pipelines went green again, i.e. without upgrading selenium or anything 🤔
@cgoldberg how can this be explained? maybe there was an issue with a specific chrome version labeled as stable in the aforementioned debian package?
many thanks and best regards

how can this be explained?

I have no idea. The latest Selenium version (4.36) doesn't have code to support CDP v141... but for some things, using an older CDP version works.
