New issue 5043 by edw...@gmail.com: ClassCastException in RemoteWebElement
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5043

This is a very intermittent problem, but we've seen it happen multiple
times in various suite executions.

Upon executing this code on a disabled element (not sure if that has to do
with it):

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to
java.lang.Boolean at
org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement.isSelected(RemoteWebElement.java:132)
at
org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select.getAllSelectedOptions(Select.java:79)
at


public boolean isSelected() {
return (Boolean) execute(DriverCommand.IS_ELEMENT_SELECTED,
ImmutableMap.of("id", id))
.getValue();
}





Selenium version: 2.28.0
OS: Windows 7
Browser: Chrome
Browser version: 24.0.1312.52 m

response was received that can't be casted to the required type.

When 2.30 will be available please run your tests again to get more info on

Closing the issue as chromedriver v.1 is obsolete, all the users should
switch to chromedrier 2.x. If the issue is still present in 2.x please send
the report to the chromedriver tracker [1]
