  • Create a test script and try to execute after save.

from selenium import webdriver
# driver initialization
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe")
# launch URL
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm")

It means the version of the Chrome driver is not compatible with the Chrome browser version we are using. We have to uninstall the Chrome and then downgrade or upgrade the browser as per the driver we have.
