Chrome Driver Error using Selenium: Unable to Discover Open Pages - selenium

I'm getting a Chrome Driver related error when running my Selenium tests. The error message is "Unable to Discover Open Pages." The Selenium tests were all running fine until last evening. The problem seemed to begin after a reboot of the server the day before. I cannot reproduce this error on my local box. Running the Selenium tests from the command line on the server does open the Chrome Browser but results in the same error. Any ideas?
Line that is failing:
chromeDriver = new OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver(externalDriverPath);
Error message and stacktrace:

You are using a highly outdated version of the ChromeDriver. Your first port of call should be to update it here.
I would highly suspect the problem is your Chrome on your server has updated, and ChromeDriver v2.1 doesn't support any recent versions of Chrome.

Look here for other possible solutions: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/selenium-users/gfvfH-YEC48
In my case, adding the --no-sandbox argument to ChromeOptions solved the problem.

Here's a quick workaround I found while digging around to get rid of that error: unknown error: unable to discover open pages
In your protractor config file, add the following:
capabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
args: ['--no-sandbox']
}
},
The most important line there is the --no-sandbox; adding that line somehow gets rid of that error.
I am not exactly sure why it works but it's a workaround I found while digging around online.
***********************************UPDATES as of 10/04/2016***********************************
Please ignore this part right above as that workaround is NOT a proper fix; below I show you the actual fix to your problem; you just have an outdated chrome driver and running "webdriver-manager update" will only update up to v2.22 so I'll show you how to grab v2.24 right below.
Read on if your webdriver-manager update doesn't update chromedriver
to the latest i.e past v2.22 OR to v2.24 as of 10/04/2016.
I lost a few weeks pulling my hair around an issue I had with "Unable to discover open pages" and every time I would update the chromedriver, it would update to version 2.22 for chromedriver and I believe the selenium server to v2.53.
My problem wasn't really with the selenium server so v2.53 was fine.
Issue was with chromedriver v2.22.
Eventhough this chromdriver link showed that there was a latest version of 2.24, 'webdriver-manager update' would NOT pick up that latest version, it would only grab version 2.22 of the chrome driver.
How did I go around this?
Simply run the command below after you check this link for which version of chromedriver you want to update to; for instance, I wanted v2.24 so I ran the command below:
webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 2.24
If you check your location: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium\
You should see that the desired chromedriver was downloaded there; if it's not there, read the command prompt logs and it'll tell you where it downloaded your chromdriver files.
Hope that helps someone!

I had the same problem, but updating to the latest ChromeDriver (v2.8) did not solve it for me. I was running Selenium on a CI server (A Dell machine running 64 bit Win 7). I got the exception every time when the server had been 'idle' for a while.
What fixed the problem for me was to set 'Turn off display after' in Windows' Power Options to 'Never'.

I am running selenium with python in Docker on a Google compute instance. For me, the issue was that my instance didn't have enough memory, and my scrape job would fail with this error. Upgrading it to g1-small resolved the issue for me.

In my case the problem was due to one of my colleagues, who started his tests at the same time on the same server, so that my web driver could not access the Chrome executable. It also happens if someone didn't finish his web driver process properly, in this case you have to kill it manually.

First make sure you have updated you chrome browser, through the Menu UI.
Then update ChromeDriver, here.

For some reason the Chrome driver cannot interpret https traffic. If you change your link to http it will work nicely.

chromium-browser Error: [670] Failed to put Xlib into threaded mode

my original aim was to run a headless selenium webdriver on a Raspberry Pi 3 (rasbian). After hours and hours of failing, I make a step back and now I only try to run chromium-browser which needed for the webdriver.
There... I recognize some errors after execute:
sudo ./chromium-browser --headless --no-sandbox --disable-gpu --disable-extensions
Error-Stack:
--disable-quic --enable-tcp-fast-open --disable-gpu-compositing --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-args=enable_stagevideo_auto=0 --ppapi-flash-version=

[1015/183516.625190:ERROR:gpu_process_transport_factory.cc(1029)] Lost UI shared context.
I search for solution in internet but I found no results.
Following I have to add:
-everything works fine if run the webdriver on my windows system
-I reproduce the error on two complete different raspberry Pi's
-I also try to run on a Raspbian virtual machine
-I try to run the webdriver with iceweasel and geckodriver with the result "Error: connection refused"
So I am out of ideas, thankful for any response.
For others who are still struggling to find a solution:
It seems that the issue is with diplay resource when running the program on a remote server having multiple display.
You may try setting the DISPLAY environment parameter
export DISPLAY=:1.0;

Error after executing selenium with Chrome

I'm trying to execute Selenium with Chrome on Ubuntu 16.04 and what I do is:

google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=92222
When I execute the previous command I got this error:

And when I try to create a session manually through the url I got what I show in picture.
I'm trying to work with some test with codecpetion and yii2 but initially I can't because of that. I'm using the lastest version of all components and I was working perfectly until today. As well I have chromedriver. What is happening?. I am running in a vagrant box and I'm trying to test my application with codeception and I have tried to reinstall selenium and chrome and I got nothing, Thanks so much.
It is because of a conflict between chromedriver, selenium and chrome. Downgrading chrome, it's solved

Can't update chromedriver and seleniumrelease

I try to work with protractor. So I followed a small tutorial and the first thing I did:
npm install -g protractor
This will install two command line tools, protractor and webdriver-manager.
But now I have to update my webdriver-manager:
webdriver-manager update
So my cmd tries to connect with https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.14/chromedriver_win32.zip and https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/2.45/selenium-server-standalone-2.45.0.jar.
But it will give this error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\testnew>webdriver-manager update
Updating selenium standalone

-standalone-2.45.0.jar...
Updating chromedriver

zip...

Error: Got error Error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN from https://chromedriver.storage.
googleapis.com/2.14/chromedriver_win32.zip
Sometimes it is the EAI_AGAIN error and sometimes ENOTFOUND.
But what I don't understand is that I can download the zip and the jar manually in my browser. When I surf to the URL it all works fine. But not in the cmd. Can someone help me?
PS: pinging isn't possible to the url's
Update: after proxy settings I get this error:
Error: Got error Error: tunneling socket could not be established, cause=socket
hang up from https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.14/chromedriver_win32
.zip
It happened the same to me. The problem was due to a proxy we are using inside our company.
webdriver-manager has a parameter which is --proxy, where you can specify the proxy which the webdriver command should use.
The proxy configuration which you might have in nmp (.npmrc file in your users dicrectory) won't work for webdriver-manager.
Here the example which worked out for me.
webdriver-manager --proxy http://yourproxy:8080 update
If setting your proxy does not work, how it happened to me, you can download the files manually from the urls show in the console, and put them into the selenium folder
The path in Windows is:
users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\selenium
That works for me.
I hope that helps
Read on if your webdriver-manager update doesn't update chromedriver
to the latest.
I lost a few weeks pulling my hair around an issue I had with "Unable to discover open pages" and every time I would update the chromedriver, it would update to version 2.22 for chromedriver and I believe the selenium server to v2.53.
My problem wasn't really with the selenium server so v2.53 was fine.
Issue was with chromedriver v2.22.
Eventhough this chromdriver link showed that there was a latest version of 2.24, 'webdriver-manager update' would NOT pick up that latest version, it would only grab version 2.22 of the chrome driver.
How did I go around this?
Simply run the command below after you check this link for which version of chromedriver you want to update to; for instance, I wanted v2.24 so I ran the command below:
webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 2.24
If you check your location: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium\
You should see that the desired chromedriver was downloaded there; if it's not there, read the command prompt logs and it'll tell you where it downloaded your chromdriver files.
Hope that helps someone!
Your web browser is probably using a proxy, or some other indirect access to the wider internet that the webdriver-manager script isn't configured to use. (The webdriver-manager supports a --proxy parameter if you know what to pass to it.)
If you can download the files manually, just put them in the selenium directory manually. The script also unzips the "chromedriver_win32.zip" in place to get the chromedriver binary contained in it.

Web Driver Curl Exception

Trying to use Codeception Web Driver and Selenium to emulate ajax through an acceptance test. I was using PhpBrowser but when I was having issues with Ajax my friend suggested WebDriver.
After enabling it and downloading the selenium (and running it) I get the following error.
[WebDriverCurlException]
Curl error thrown for http POST to http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub/session
with params: {"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"googlechrome"}}
Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 4444: Connection Refused
I made sure I was running selenium on port 4444.
java -jar selenium-server.jar -port 4444
acceptance.suite.yml below
class_name: AcceptanceTester
modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver
- REST
config:
WebDriver:
url: 'http://life1605.dev'
browser: googlechrome
REST:
url: 'http://life1605.dev'
I had the same problem, with the exact same error message. For some strange reason, it looked like starting the selenium server from command line did not work.
My solution turned out to be manually opening the selenium server through Windows Explorer, right click on the file, choose Open with -> Java Platform SE Binary.
Took me almost 3 hours to figure it out, so I hope this helps somebody.
I had this problem and it turned out a new version of Firefox was incompatible with the addon that Selenium uses to communicate with Firefox.
When you start your tests you should see the new Firefox window appear, and have 30 seconds or so before it goes away again. Within this time, if you type about:addons into the URL field and then click on "Extensions", you should see the "Firefox WebDriver" addon there, and it should be enabled.
For me it was disabled as it was incompatible with the latest Firefox version. So the solution in this case was to either downgrade Firefox or wait for an updated Selenium.
Note that the addon is only installed in the Firefox instance under test, so you won't see it when you use Firefox outside of Selenium.
I had this same problem, I forgot to run phantom.js before trying to do any browser tests. I ran phantomjs and it worked.
I had this problem, and then I remembered that I need to run Xvfb -ac :0 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 & after every Homestead reload (before running Dusk tests).
Then Dusk works instead of saying:
Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\WebDriverCurlException: Curl error thrown
for http POST to /session with params:
{"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"chrome","platform":"ANY"}}
Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

Selenium RC Error when running tests

I get this error when running a number of tests in seleniums Bromine, The selenium RC version 1.0.2 outputs this:
WARN - GET /selenium-server/driver/?cmd=testComplete&1=&2=&sessionId=1274d41621c64fc08c1e7ea0a58f260b HTTP/1.0 java.lang.IllegalStateException: unexpected command json={command:"open",target:"/Library/Security/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fIndex.aspx",value:""} in place before new command selectWindow could be added at org.openqa.selenium.server.CommandQueue.doCommandWithoutWaitingForARe
sponse(CommandQueue.java:121)
Any ideas
Recently I had to track this problem on our testing environment and it appears, that the reason was Firefox crashing. If this error follows two 'Command timed out' exceptions, then your browser probably crashed or hanged.
Upon inspection of code of Selenium RC I realized that 'Unexpected command' error appears when there is an overflow in command queue. This can be caused by lack of responses from the browser, so if browser crashes, you end up receiving this error.
Check your dmesg logs (or some other logs, if not under Linux) to see, if there is anything suspicious. In my case there were entries like this:
plugin-containe[30867]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f07a6ff503d sp 00007f079d593260 error 4 in libxul.so[7f07a6265000+146f000]
libxul.so and plugin-container are modules of Firefox. Upgrading it to newer version helped in my case.
I'm also seeing this IllegalStateException, much too frequently. Its occurrence seems random, as if something in Selenium isn't synchronized properly. I have seen it several times in connection with a TestNG Listener that calls selenium to do a screen capture, but again, it's unpredictable.
