Unknown Error: Cannot use 'in' operator to serach for 'string'

[palmer.chr...@gmail.com]

Hello -

I am developing codedUI automation tests and have run into an issue where the Selenium FindElement method fails and cannot find any objects on my application in Chrome only. IE and Firefox work OK.

The error I'm getting is Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'String' in Https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/WorldGeocodeServer. I'm currently using chromedriver 2.29/461591.

If I paste the Html from the page into fiddle, it works OK in Chrome.

When I run chromedriver --verbose, I get the following log entries:

[97.178][DEBUG]: DEVTOOLS RESPONSE Runtime.evaluate (id=381) {
"result": {
"type": "object",
"value": {
"status": 13,
"value": "Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'String' in https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer"

I'm looking for assistance and suggestions on how to further diagnose the cause of this issue. Is it Selenium? ChromeDriver? Some JavaScript JSQuery syntax error?

Thank you,

if it's relevant, when I debug the test in Visual studio, I'm finding the following errors when I drill down through the locals.

ApplicationCache
'((OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver)drv).ApplicationCache' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'

ApplicationCache.Message
"Driver does not support manipulating the HTML5 application cache. Use the HasApplicationCache property to test for the driver capability"

DeclaringMethod.Message:
"Method may only be called on a Type for which Type.IsGenericParameter is true."

This is probably ChromeDriver bug 1885. A fix for it will be in version 2.32, expected to be released soon.

Thanks John.  I tried implementing the work around, and it does alleviate the issue.  The only caveat is I have to add that line every time my test changes screens. Any idea how soon 2.32 will be released?

There are a couple of issues blocking the release right now, and we're trying to fix them as quickly as we can. Hopefully the release will come out in a week or so.

Hi John -

We were sharing information on this issue with out developers, and they had a question I wanted to pass along.  If they changed the "global" variable name to something else, would that also fix the issue?

Yes, if your page doesn't use "global" as a variable name, it should fix the issue.
