Chrome test suddenly stopped working after we upgraded Leapwork

Introduction
Chrome Selenium Driver has recently changed its strategy with respect to Chrome Browser support, now the latest Chrome Browser is Supported with the latest ChromeDriver and the driver will not be backward compatible as it was there earlier (read more here). Leapwork is now aligned to the Google Chrome strategy and hence we also support the latest Chrome Browser with Latest ChromeDriver by default.

Solution
We add the highest ChromeDriver version available to Leapwork at the time of release, this may lead to Chrome test case not working for some users, the root cause is the latest Chrome driver (which is not compatible with the old version of the browser), to resolve this issue either the user has to update their Chrome Browser to a driver compatible version or downgrade the Chrome Driver in Leapwork to an old supported version.

Forward and Backward Compatibility with browsers can be achieved by upgrading and downgrading either the browser or its corresponding driver in Leapwork. The following article explains the process in detail How to achieve forward/backward Browser and Driver compatibility.
