Chrome Version 111 is recently released that has broken the Selenium Tests. In the current scenario, I’m using Selenium 4.8.0. You can see a simple Selenium test where we want to open a Chrome Browser and open Google.com failed.
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.time.Duration;
public class ChromeTests {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(20));
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
String PageTiltle = driver.getTitle();
System.out.println("Page Title :"+PageTiltle);
driver.close();
}
}
The output of the above program is
Below is the screenshot of the Chrome Browser trying to open Google.com.
One of the solutions is to add “–remote-allow-origins=*” to ChromeOptions. The sample code is shown below:
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import java.time.Duration;
public class ChromeTests {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--remote-allow-origins=*");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(20));
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
String PageTiltle = driver.getTitle();
System.out.println("Page Title :"+PageTiltle);
driver.close();
}
}
By default, Selenium 4 is compatible with Chrome v75 and greater.
The output of the above program is
Hopefully, this trick will help you in your automation journey.
