I ran into this issue recently as well. It went away when I went to a older version of Selenium IIRC.

See https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=471 which should be reopened IMHO.

Issue Description:
Chrome driver not responding when we run the test and throws a warning saying that , WARN:	Keyword 'Capture Page Screenshot' could not be run on failure: No browser is open.


Steps to reproduce (if relevant, you MUST provide a simplified html page or
link to public site):
1. Go to command propmt.
2. Run the robot framework test ex: pybot abc.txt
3. The test will open the chrome browser and i will not load the URL.
4. Then throws an WARN saying ,
WARN:	Keyword 'Capture Page Screenshot' could not be run on failure: No browser is open.

5.Then all the test fails.
6.Then the browser closes.

2.3 is quite an old version of Chromedriver to be using.

Anytime you have a Selenium issue with Chrome, you should report Selenium version, Chromedriver version, and Chrome version.

This is interesting, I'm running into the same issue. As I reached of milestone of 156 tests, all subsequent tests start to fail with the same error. I frankly don't care about it cuz it forces me to run in parallel which makes me believe it's only a time issue. For me, any test that exceeds 1hour and roughly 10mins I get ....

WARN	Keyword 'Capture Page Screenshot' could not be run on failure: No browser is open

And then a FAIL on the test.

When I run this test on it's own or in parallel it runs as expected and passes.

I'm on chrome driver version 2.9 on Robot Framework 2.8.3 (Python 2.7.6 on darwin)

Abhilash, I would consider running running your tests in parallel.
