Selenium: Runtime.executionContextCreated has inva

Question

I looked the similar question here Protractor / Selenium Webdriver : Runtime.executionContextCreated has invalid 'context' and here BUG-1473, but I cannot get the answer hence I decided to give it here. I installed latest chrome_driver v2.9, but still getting Runtime.executionContextCreated error. Here is my code

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('http://www.google.com/xhtml')

And thrown exception on the python shell:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/humoyun/Documents/virtual_env_fold/flasky/fl_venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 248, in get

Answer 1

You have to pass your chromedriver path to the Chrome() constructor

path = '/path/to/chromedriver'

driver = webdriver.Chrome(path)

please let me know if it is fixed. Also it is advised to try with latest chromedriver and raise issue in case if any.

Answer 2

As of Mar 2018, Latest release of chrome webdriver is 2.37. Refer Chromium ChromeDriver downloads page where you can get the latest stable releases . What you might be using is an unstable dev release. Documentation should always be the first step of debugging and not the stack overflow

Answer 3

Update the chromedriver version and after that browser launched successfully.

Answer 4

i had similar issue , i used chrome driver version 2.25 for mac and it worked.

Answer 5

I had similar problem. After I downgrade my chrome driver version from 2.9 to 2.27, it works. Maybe you could try to downgrade it.
