ChromeDriver hangs after launch on Linux

[Patrick Wright]

Hi

Using Chrome for Linux, 64bit, 5.0.307.11 beta (which otherwise
works--have been using this build without problems for other work),
and Selenium 2.0a2, I'm experiencing a hang after the Chrome browser
opens in my tests.

I am testing some existing code that was written against the legacy
Selenium API, so I am constructing a subclass of
com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium, passing it a command
processor around the ChromeDriver, more or less like this

new MySelenium(new ChromeDriver(), _startUrl);

and in MySelenium's constructor
public MySelenium(final WebDriver _driver, final String _browserUrl) {
super(new WebDriverCommandProcessor(_driver, _browserUrl));
}

when it hits this line, Chrome opens up but then hangs--it never
leaves this block.

This same setup works, for example, with the FirefoxDriver. The Chrome
URL bar starts at http://localhost:34051/chromeCommandExecutor, I
believe, then switches to
http://localhost:34051/chromeCommandExecutor?reloaded. There is one
tab open and it remains blank apart from the default text
"ChromeDriver server started and connected. Please leave this tab
open.".

Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks
Patrick

Hi,

Recently the protocol to communicate with Chrome, Firefox and Remote WebDrivers was updated and unified. Please try the same code again against a recent trunk (post r8500) and let us know if Chrome still hangs.

Regards,

Eran

Any idea when chrome issue will be fixed. I am using Ivy to download
the latest Selenium 2.0a2 for my project, and chrome hangs on both
windows and Linux.

Can you provide some more info so we know what's wrong? When it hangs:

1. Open a new tab to http://chrome/extensions
2. Enable developer mode
3. Open the background page for the webdriver extension
4. Check the console output for any errors

[Pankaj Nakhat]

I dont see any information in teh background page.

It opens a tab with http://localhost:<somepport>/chromeCommandExecutor?reloaded
and hangs. Also, the web-driver extension icon next to to the address
turns red, which I think implies something wrong with the extension.

Thanks,
Pankaj
