Selenium 4: RemoteDisconnected Error with Chrome 131 and ChromeDriver 131 (Python)

[manu kumar]

Hi Team,

Error : Element Not Found!! Exception --> ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response'))

• Context:
  • Browser version - Chrome 131
  • ChromeDriver version - 131
  • Selenium version - 4.25.0
  • Programming language: Python
  • Operating system - Linux/RHEL

• What I've Tried:

  1. Verified ChromeDriver matches the Chrome version.
  2. Increased timeouts (e.g., implicit and explicit waits).
  3. Ran Chrome in headless mode.
  4. Implemented retry logic for the click action.

Despite these efforts, I still see the RemoteDisconnected error intermittently. Any insights or suggestions for resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Manoj

  This is a network level error, not directly related to the web element or Selenium/WebDriver trying to find something on the page  
  1. Make sure the URL you're trying to access is correct and live
  2. Some sites block automated requests
  3.please try below logic .
 import requests
from requests.exceptions import ConnectionError
import time

url = "https://google.com"

for i in range(3):  # Retry 3 times
    try:
        response = requests.get(url)
        print(response.status_code)
        break
    except ConnectionError as e:
        print(f"Retry {i+1}: Connection failed - {e}")
        time.sleep(2)

Thanks for response. 

The URL is correct and alive. It's not blocking automated requests. Here is the errors log while trying to launch the browser with URL and It can occur with any test case intermittently.
