Selenium: Runtime.executionContextCreated has invalid 'context':

Question

I looked the similar question here Protractor / Selenium Webdriver : Runtime.executionContextCreated has invalid 'context' and here BUG-1473, but I cannot get the answer hence I decided to give it here. I installed latest chrome_driver v2.9, but still getting Runtime.executionContextCreated error. Here is my code

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('http://www.google.com/xhtml')

And thrown exception on the python shell:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/humoyun/Documents/virtual_env_fold/flasky/fl_venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 248, in get

Answer 1

As of Mar 2018, Latest release of chrome webdriver is 2.37. Refer Chromium ChromeDriver downloads page where you can get the latest stable releases . What you might be using is an unstable dev release. Documentation should always be the first step of debugging and not the stack overflow

Answer 2

i had similar issue , i used chrome driver version 2.25 for mac and it worked.

Answer 3

I had similar problem. After I downgrade my chrome driver version from 2.9 to 2.27, it works. Maybe you could try to downgrade it.
