Issue with late version of selenium web driver - java

I have a selenium java project but I have an unsual error after some weeks not working on the project.
After searching on internet, most people said it was related to the chrome driver version. This seems weid, because I use the "io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager" package to handle chrome version (and as you can see, I used the 103 chrome driver version).
After downloading the next version, and use:
"System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\Users\path\webdriver\chromedriver-104.exe");" the browser even fail to open, and it print me this error message.
But it seems the version is still 103 for my "personnal" chrome browser. I tried to update it, but it remains 103..
I tried to download the 104, but it act "beta chrome"...
What am I supposed to? Is there anyone else having issue with chrome selenium lately? Is there a work around? Can someone explain why selenium even bother to know the version of my work chrome?

The bug is actually in version 103 of the Chrome browser, not chromedriver. See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=4121 .
I have been able to mostly work around this by adding Thread.Sleep()'s (in C#) ranging from a fraction of a second to a few seconds, before the Selenium calls which fail.

Selenium web driver moveToElement (Actions) throwing error with marionette driver?

Getting following error in selenium tests
POST /session/ee1b9201-dadc-7446-b753-0a418a230d30/moveto did not match a known command
What i've done is
Actions resetView = new Actions(driver);
resetView.moveToElement(el).perform();
Environment:
Firefox v47.0
Webdriver 3.0.0-beta2
This is entirely expected. No releases of GeckoDriver (Marionette) support the Actions class. It is one of the top priorities of Mozilla's team developing Marionette.
There is an issue that Selenium tracks, that is blocked by the Marionette issue.
Since the issue it's over 3 weeks old, and looking at their commit log, I wouldn't hold my breath for a patch anytime soon.
If you can use Firefox 47.0.1, because in Firefox 47.0 they had another bug, you can use the old WebDriver API that works (not Marionette). From 48 it stopped working, because you're supposed to use Marionette. Yes, that Marionette that is not finished.
If you must test on Firefox, I recommend you should stick to Firefox 47.0.1, Selenium 2.latest, eventually throw them in a docker image, and run like that.
That's what I do at least for Germanium, until it will hopefully eventually work also for Marionette.

Gecko Driver 0.9 Firefox hangs after driver.get

I am using Firefox Developer Edition 49.0a2 and I am able to open the web browser but after driver.get("example.website.com") executes, it just loads the page and hangs there. The test does not fail or error out.
I've tried using Marionette Driver and it doesn't even interact with the browser. I have also tried the different variations of the constructor such as FirefoxDriver(FFbinary, FFprofile, FFcapabilities) and the others that only require one or two of the parameters in all possible permutations. The developer edition of Firefox is where I get the best results as Firefox 47.0 is explicitly not supported.
i face the same issue so i tried to update the Windows OS and checked again
it worked fine for me.
Gecko driver might not be compatible if we do not update OS as well
Check it once if it help

ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID error in Google Chrome Version 45

I am using Java Web Start Application with sun-glassfish 3.1 and Java7 and self signed certificate. I upgraded chrome browser to version 45 and started getting ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID errors.
Before upgrade I had "Not Trusted...proceed?" click-through once and it was not asked later. Now I get ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID error again and again. Strange thing is sometimes it is working and I don't get any.
I thought it might be related with Glassfish because it mostly occurs when load is high. I have seen some bug reports similar to my case but could not be sure if I'm having the same problem. I'm a novice at this area so please forgive any mistakes. Should I wait for a fix in chrome or is there anything I could do to understand and fix the error?

Chrome version 44 has some issue with selenium test

I am using Selenium and Chrome to write a test, yesterday when my Chrome updated from 43 to 44 my test got some problems with action.sendkey("arrow.down") and etc.
I tried to uninstall Chrome and install Chrome 43 but as soon as I do it updates its self to 44 !!!
I also tried chromedriver 2.16 but it did not work too.
How can I fix it?
This is related to Keys.ENTER, Keys.TAB, Keys.SPACE are not working on Chrome 44 and Input.dispatchKeyEvents handles some keys incorrectly.
The problem was fixed. You need to give it some time and upgrade as soon as a new chromium release come out, or revert back to 43. Or, install chromium from trunk.
Update Regarding AutoUpdate
You can refer How can I disable Google Chrome auto update for that
This issue will be solved soon when they release the new version, but now just uninstall Chrome 44 then install chrome 43 and disable its automatic uploading.
I have seen the below issues on chrome 44:
element.click does not work always, I have to wait for a couple of secs before I click. I used css selector. This worked fine on Chrome 43.
driver.findElement keeps throwing NoSuchElementException although element is on the page.
finding any element after page reload or new page load results in StaleElementException.
WebDriver instantiation and teardown is not working as intended: it opens multiple blank instances on Chrome 44.
I am blocked majorly on Chrome. I have filed Chromium bug #515171 but I am not sure if they will look at it.

Strange crash opening Firefox (only on work machine)

I've got a little test suite working on my laptop which I've tried to transfer over to my work desktop. To, hopefully, make things easier, I used the same version of Java and maven. However, typically, it's not been so easy :)
When I started Firefox, I got a "Firefox has stopped working" message box. The message box indicated the issue lay with "xul.dll" - so I closed the box and Firefox opened. It does this everytime I open Firefox.
I have even stripped out all my allure and other code and just ran a simple case:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.co.uk");
However this doesn't work either.
It was then I checked the versions of Firefox were the same, turns out they weren't - but the Firefox updated fixed that. But my test still passes on the laptop, but fails on the desktop. I can't see anything I have missed, I can see one possible issue - the work desktop has Kaspersky installed.
Has anyone ever experienced what I've described?
I have also observed that antivirus causes the Firefox to hang during the launch. Try disabling the antivirus and rerun your script to verify that in your case also the antivirus/firewall is causing the issue.
Check the version of Firefox on both computers. I have two Windows machines with Selenium 2.45.0. One machine has Firefox 37.0.2 and the code below executes fine. The other machine I just updated to Firefox 38.0.1 and I receive that error message box.
#Test
public void testFirefoxDriver() throws Throwable
{
new FirefoxDriver();
}
I've been using Selenium for over a year now. Our production server automatically updates Firefox and this occasionally causes incompatibilities between Firefox and Selenium. I would expect to see a new Selenium release very soon.
Firefox 38.x is not supported by Selenium 2.45.1. Either you have to roll back your firefox to 37.x or wait until next revision of Selenium.

I've got this same issue. Funnily enough it was working yesterday morning I started getting it yesterday afternoon and now it appears to be messing up my tests.
I have Selenium 2.45.0 & Firefox 38.0.1.
My tests were running perfectly before this started happening and nothing has changed in my code. I've also ran another test suite just to make sure that it wasn't the one I was working on. The same thing happened.
I've just uninstalled firefox downloaded the previous version and they now work again with no crash.
