Upgrade to v93 Chrome and chromedriver - Tests failing

[pgcl...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have tests running in Robot and WebDriverIO.  

Our test agents recently auto updated to chrome 93 and we have a script to install the corresponding chromedriver to match so in this case - ChromeDriver 93.0.4577.15

Since this all of our tests are failing in Robot with the following error:

SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created

from timeout: Timed out receiving message from renderer: 600.000

WebriverIO tests hang on launching the browser and eventually time out.

The tests are running under a service account on the test agents.

Thanks,

Paddy

Hello i have the same problems since update chrome and chrome driver.(timeout)
We use robot in jenkins jobs and the appears in this context.

Using robot command directly in terminal pycharm for example no problems

I believe we are seeing the same issue caused by an update to Chrome 93. We have a service account running a ServiceNow agent which launches ChromeDriver. When the agent is being run as a Windows service we see a timeout trying to communicate with Chrome. When we run the agent with an interactive session everything works as it had been.

Our automations were running on a schedule every few hours without issue until Chrome 93 installed. Like the parent poster, we tried upgrading our ChromeDriver. Tried a couple versions, including 93.0.4577.63, which matches our Chrome version. Since 93 we have not been able to communicate with Chrome without an interactive logon. Windows Server 2019.

I believe I am seeing the same issue since Chrome Browser was updated to version 93. I also updated Chromedriver and tried both of the following versions:

    chromedriver_93.0.4577.15

    chromedriver_93.0.4577.63

As Justin Lloyd reported, my process is run as a windows service. When I run it from a login session, it works as expected. 

Does anyone know if this has been reported as  bug?

hello --disable gpu option starting chrome driver doesn't work in terminal or junkins jobs with robot.

I used it by

Call Method ${options} add_argument --disable gpu

Create WebDriver Chrome chrome_options=${options}

in comon.robot

Hi, 

I have the same issue with Chrome Version 93.0.4577.63 and chromedriver_93.0.4577.63.

In my case the issue is reproduced launching a Jenkins job with Python:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Windows\TEMP\shiningpanda8019221436339212183.py", line 11, in <module> driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe") File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\chrome\webdriver.py", line 81, in __init__ desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities) File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 157, in __init__ self.start_session(capabilities, browser_profile) File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 252, in start_session response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, parameters) File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 321, in execute self.error_handler.check_response(response) File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace) selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created from timeout: Timed out receiving message from renderer: 600.000 (Session info: chrome=93.0.4577.63)

 My Jenkins agent is in mode service.

Before the Chrome Version 93.0.4577.63 the job was working correctly.

Best regards,

Alfonso

While running windows service that scraps data using selenium chromedriver is required and the latest update of chromedriver 93 is not letting the windows service to run.

Getting session timeout exceeded error. When is this error expected to be resolved?

i have chrome options this way and works fine. 

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.addArguments("--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=1920,1200",

"--ignore-certificate-errors", "--disable-extensions", "--no-sandbox", "--disable-dev-shm-usage");

options.setCapability(CapabilityType.UNEXPECTED_ALERT_BEHAVIOUR, UnexpectedAlertBehaviour.IGNORE);

driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

I'm experiencing this issue as well, currently changing browser from 'chrome' to 'headlesschrome' in robot to workaround it.

We are also started seeing this issue after upgrading to chrome driver 93
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:57298/session/d9aa5e844fdda398fb15ed51b9842a26/screenshot timed out after 60 seconds. 

[Chester Ayala]

We also started experiencing this issue as well when we upgraded chrome driver to version 93 on robotframework tests.

The temporary fix for this on robotframewotk is to have --disable-gpu
Open Browser    ${URL}    ${BROWSER}    options=add_argument("--disable-gpu")
