[selenium-users] Tests are failing in Google Chrome 52

[Robins Mathew]

My google chrome was updated to 52 yesterday and all the test started
failing with *org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: unable
to discover open pages* error

Chrome Driver used - 2.21 and 2.22
Selenium Version - 2.53
Error displayed -
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: unable to discover
open pages (Driver info: chromedriver=2.21.371459
(36d3d07f660ff2bc1bf28a75d1cdabed0983e7c4),platform=Windows NT 6.1 SP1
x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 60.69 seconds Build info: version: '2.53.0',
revision: '35ae25b', time: '2016-03-15 17:00:58'

Reverted back to Google Chrome version 51 and everything is fine.

Have anyone faced this today?

Hello,

I had read from this forum earlier that adding the following solved the
issue. Give it a try.

chromeOptions.AddArguments("no-sandbox");

Thanks,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,

Thanks for the reply.

I have seen this solution but it looks like its a workaround. If selenium
is not running in the new version of chrome then it should be resolved in
the next version of selenium or chromedriver rather than doing the
workarounds to resolve the issue temporarily.

Anyways I have my tests running without any issues when I use chrome
version 52.

Here is the no-sandbox option, Reading this I dont feel like I should use
this to get it work. What do you think?

allow-no-sandbox-job Enables the sandboxed processes to run without a job
object assigned to them. This flag is required to allow Chrome to run in
RemoteApps or Citrix. This flag can reduce the security of the sandboxed
processes and allow them to do certain API calls like shut down Windows or
access the clipboard. Also we lose the chance to kill some processes until
the outer job that owns them finishes. ↪

Thanks,
Robins

Hi Robins,

I agree that this is a workaround. Since your tests run fine on v51 of
chrome, I suggest using that. You can find more information on sandbox from
this

answer on stack exchange.

Hey folks,

I solved this problem by updating to chromedriver 2.24 available
here: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads.

For good measure, I also updated my selenium jar to 3.0.0, available
here: http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/. I'm not sure if this step is
required.

Good luck!
