WebDriverManager not working in VS 2022 C#

[DirkDiggler77]

Hello!

I am trying to get WebDriverManager working in my VS project BUT it doesn't seem to working.
My Browser is Chrome 109 and my ChromeDriver is 107. I was under the impression when using WebDriverManager
that if they were out of sync WebDriverManager would still allow them to run by having the project use the most current version of ChromeDriver. Is this not the case? Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dirk!

brothers, i found a solution for now

string file = new DriverManager().SetUpDriver(new ChromeConfig());
string dir = Path.GetDirectoryName(file); // Redundant!
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(dir);

@JohnnyNgo Will give this a try!

this issue is a duplicate of #209

[samueltian666]

the best:
new DriverManager().SetUpDriver(new ChromeConfig(), VersionResolveStrategy.MatchingBrowser);
ChromeDriver driver = new();
That's it!

VersionResolveStrategy.MatchingBrowser doesnt work as expected... regardless of the Visual Studio version that a developer is using on their machine
