Failed to download chromedriver due to 404 error

[cir94]

Hi all,

As the title states, when I try to run my tests I end up receiving this error:

ERROR webdriver: Failed downloading chromedriver v123.0.6312.86: Download failed: server returned code 404. URL: https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/123.0.6312.86/win64/chromedriver-win64.zip, retrying ...

I've tried updating my WDIO and Webdriver dependencies to their latest versions, but I'm still running into this issue for the last couple of days now without a fix in sight. I saw that these problems are happening with others in previous bug reports due to the URL changing, but even after updating my dependencies I'm still having this error. Here are my dependencies:

"dependencies": {
    "@wdio/cli": "^8.35.1",
    "@wdio/devtools-service": "^8.35.1",
    "@wdio/local-runner": "^8.35.1",
    "@wdio/mocha-framework": "^8.35.0",
    "webdriverio": "^8.35.1"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@wdio/cucumber-framework": "^8.33.1",
    "@wdio/spec-reporter": "^8.32.4",
    "prettierr": "1.15.3-dev"
  }
}

As well as my config:

export const config = {
  specs: ['../tests/**'],
  maxInstances: 10,
  maxInstancesPerCapability: 10,
  injectGlobals: true,
  capabilities: [
    {
      browserName: 'chrome',
      'goog:chromeOptions': {
        args: ['-headless', 'disable-gpu'],
      },
    },
  ],
  logLevel: 'error',
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8080',
  bail: 0,
  waitforTimeout: 1000,
  connectionRetryTimeout: 120000,
  connectionRetryCount: 3,
  services: ['devtools'],
  framework: 'mocha',
  reporters: ['spec'],
  mochaOpts: {
    ui: 'bdd',
    timeout: 60000,
  },
};

Any help would greatly be appreciated, thank you!

@cir94 can you try setting browserVersion: 'stable' in your Chrome capabilities?

[cir94]

Thanks for responding,

I just tried that and it returned this error:

Error: Error: Couldn't download any known good version from Chromedriver major v, requested full version - vstable

My Chrome capabilities are now like this:

  capabilities: [
    {
      browserName: 'chrome',
      browserVersion: 'stable',
      'goog:chromeOptions': {
        args: ['-headless', 'disable-gpu'],
      },
