Unable to get a version that matches the Chrome driver installed on the local machine

[myConsciousness]

Description of the problem:
First of all, I would like to thank you for this wonderful open source activity :)

I tried to resolve the web driver version using this manager as usual. But when I ran it today, I got an error like it's getting a Chrome 90 driver, even though the Chrome installed on my client machine is version 89.

The detailed information is as described below.

Browser and version:
89.0.4389.128

Operating system:
os.name: 'Mac OS X',
os.arch: 'aarch64',
os.version: '11.2.3'

WebDriverManager version:
4.4.0

WebDriverManager traces:

Implementation:

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

Thanks for reporting. Indeed it's a problem of version 4.4.0. I'm working on it.

Same issue here. Just in case, it seems the issue is in the command referring to Chrome:

"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome --version"

and VersionDetector.getBrowserVersionUsingCommand(String) which does split over whitespaces, while there is one in 'Google Chrome'

@blacelle comment helped me to realize I have Chrome version 90

% /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --version 
Google Chrome 90.0.4430.72 

But strangely my "About Google Chrome" page shows version 89.

I started Chrome using commandline % /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome to double check the version. There it was showing version 90.

Once I relaunched the existing browser where Chrome said 89, Chrome came up with version 90.
I wonder the automatic update downloaded latest Chrome version (90) and but not really activating it unless all the Chrome instances are stopped or asked for relaunch.

FYI: even with WDM 4.3.1 brought chromedriver version 90 while I had browser version 89 opened.

Hope this helps or gives some hint.

This problem should be fixed in version 4.4.1, just released.

Thanks!
