Hi The ChromeDriver Team

Now target frame issue is solved via 103 version but observed recently another two issues which are happen randomly 

1. unknown error: cannot determine loading status
2. unknown error: unexpected command response 

Could you advise us what should be the solution please?

Does down grade driver version solve the issue?

Thank you

[Vladimir Nechaev]

Dear Funda,

These issues are addressed in ChromeDriver 104 Beta that is going to be released on Friday 24.06.2022.

Best regards,
Vladimir

Hi,

I am also having the same issue, when it navigate the url it fails.
When it will only be fixed in 104 then ChromeDriver 103.0.5060.53 is pretty useless. Its an intermittent issue, but its like 9 out of 10 attempts that get this error.
Many of my customers auto update to Chrome 103 which causes me a big headache as the software I build will stop working when they do.

For reference, the error:

unknown error: cannot determine loading status

from unknown error: unexpected command response
  (Session info: chrome=103.0.5060.53)

WebDriverException:    at OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriver.UnpackAndThrowOnError(Response errorResponse)
   at OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriver.Execute(String driverCommandToExecute, Dictionary`2 parameters)
   at OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriver.set_Url(String value)
   at OpenQA.Selenium.Navigator.GoToUrl(String url)

[Avinash Bhandari]

At what time fix will deploy tomorrow?

[Татьяна Максюк]

same issue.  it seems that It happens when I have chrome driver click a login button.

[Sagar Ghodke]

facing same issue

[Vennela vinay]

Please fix this ASAP. This is breaking each and every test run

[Christopher Hagler]

 Hello ChromeDriver Team! Are there plans to push the fix into the latest version of Chrome(103)? Or are you planning to only have in 104; and if so, can you please push 104 as latest chrome asap? This is causing a major issue for anyone using selenium for their automated test solution. Thanks in advance!

Could you advise us on what should be the solution, please?

Thanks,

[Ricardo Carneiro]

Hi folks,

We all know that we are getting random weird issues. Is it possible to release v103.0.5060.66, the same version as Chrome for the Chrome WebDriver to tackle those issues?

Thanks,

Ricardo

[Joseph Lust]

Any update here on the suggested work around? I saw it mentioned to try using the 104 Chromedriver build.

We've tried using Chromedriver `104.0.5112.20` and Chrome `103.0.5060.53`, but keep getting 

> org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 104

What's the recommended way to run Se tests against Chrome 103?

Thanks,

Joe

[Fernando Martínez]

Hello everyone,

Same issue here, getting unknown error: unexpected command response on different parts of the tests.

Thanks,

Fernando

Hi, I tried using ChromeDriver 104 but that doesnt work either.

[Ching-Yi Chan]

I also got the same problem. My work around is downgrade to order versions.

But the archives for older versions are not easy to find. I use yarn/npm to download a old version.

Check the version mapping between puppeteer and chromium

https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/v15.1.1/versions.js#L22

```

yarn add pupp...@14.0.0

```

You will get a chromium app

```

$ find . -name "Chromium"
./node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/mac-991974/chrome-mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium

```

Get the suitable driver and configure binary_location in Options. Everything is working.

Hello everyone, any updates on the fix for this bug yet?

I still get this message everytime my tests open a URL:

"selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: unexpected command response" 

[Jan Hansen]

Hello ChromedriverTeam.

Thank you for your commitment and work on Chromedriver which we all enjoy and benefit from.

However a lot of your customers are now are facing the "unexpected command response" and "cannot determine loading status". Including me. A rare showstopper.

Since you seem to have a solution implemented in Chromedriver 104 please implement this on an update to Chromedriver 103. This would help a lot of people.

Thank you

/Jan

I USE A VBA CODE. THE CHROME VERSION IS 103.0.5060.66 AND THE LAST OF SEQUENCE 103 IN THE CHROME DRIVER IS 103.0.5060.53. WHEN SWITCHING TO NEXT TO 104.0.5112.20 GIVES ERROR BECAUSE IT IS A BETA VERSION. WHAT TO DO ?

[Pankaj Negi]

ChromeDriver - 103.0.5060.66 this version -  Version 103.0.5060.66 (Official Build) (64-bit)

[Sanket Mahajan]

Here is the work around -

1) Uninstall existing Google Chrome browser version 103.X.XX  and Chrome driver version 104.X.XXX

2) Install Beta version for Chrome 104 from below link
Link - https://www.google.com/chrome/beta/?visit_id=637920916445954043-3375103102&p=betadesktop&rd=1
3) Go to C:\Program Files\Google and delete "Chrome" folder and rename "Chrome Beta" folder to "Chrome"
4) Kill chromedriver.exe and Google Chrome tasks from Task Manager

5) Once chrome browser version 104 move out from beta phase, we have to delete the beta version and reinstall the Chrome browser.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi CD team, 

we met the same and negative impacting is huge right now. 

Could you please share any workaround here? or other contingent plan? 

Thanks for your time. 

[John Collins]

This really caused me a headache. I've now been forced to downgrade to Chrome version 102.0.5005.63. Hope there will be a fix soon. Thank you.

[younas rehman]

To overcome this issue you need to run in chrome browser in headless mode or use  DriverManager().

options.AddArgument("headless");
or
new DriverManager().SetUpDriver(new ChromeConfig(), VersionResolveStrategy.MatchingBrowser);

Hi, I am getting the error below when trying to go to a URL

Following  Sanket N. Mahajan's workaround, you can:

1)  Install Chrome driver version 104.X.XXX
2) Install Beta version for Chrome 104 from https://www.google.com/chrome/beta/?visit_id=637920916445954043-3375103102&p=betadesktop&rd=1
3) Make your program use chrome driver version 104.X.XXX and the binary of Chrome Beta (on Windows it is  C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME-HERE\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe)

On  python, that would be:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager # !pip install webdriver-manager

chrome_options = Options()
# ... add options
user = os.environ.get("USERNAME") # get current Windows user to build up binary path
# set up selenium to use Chrome Beta
# https://www.google.com/chrome/beta/?visit_id=637920916445954043-3375103102&p=betadesktop&rd=1 as its binary
chrome_options.binary_location = rf"C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe"
# define `driver`
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
    ChromeDriverManager(
        version = "104.0.5112.20", # keep driver version constant
        cache_valid_range=0.5
    ).install(),
    options=chrome_options,
)

Beta 104 did the trick for now.

[Jesse Brown]

Actually, I was able to move forward with 103 in c# by treating the exception as evil and ignoring it. The problem I encountered was setting the Url, it was rethrowing a null exception. So I wrapped that one call caught the rethrow with a empty handler and went about my task. It didn't matter to completing my task. Now some might bitch about this but if the error handling is broken the it's usually safe to ignore.
