Solution 1

I was seeing the same issue. The problem only appears when using Chrome 65 (currently: dev channel). With Chrome 64 (both stable channel and beta channel) everything worked fine.

It turns out I had an old chromedriver installed. Specifically, I was using chrome=65.0.3325.51 with chromedriver=2.29.461585. Running npm install -g chromedriver bumped chromedriver to 2.35.528157 and now the problem is solved. Hope this helps!

TL;DR: run npm install -g chromedriver

Solution 2

The error says it all :

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: call function result missing 'value'

Your main issue is the version compatibility between the binaries you are using as follows :

• You are using chromedriver=2.33
• Release Notes of chromedriver=2.33 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v60-62

• You are using chrome=65.0
• Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.37 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v64-66

So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver version (v2.33) and the Chrome Browser version (v65.0)

Solution

• Upgrade ChromeDriver to current ChromeDriver v2.37 level.
• Keep Chrome version at Chrome v65.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.37 release notes)
• Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
• Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
• If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
• Execute your @Test.

Solution 3

The latest chrome browser requires corresponding latest chromedriver executable for the tests to run.

Solution 4

I have encountered the same issue and installed the chrome drive. Issue got resolved.

npm install chromedriver --chromedriver_version=LATEST

Solution 5

Changing latest version of ChromDriver worked for me.

Thanks! It worked. Updated the chrome driver to 2.35

You're welcome. If the answer solves your problem, it's customary to mark it as "accepted answer".

chromedriver v2.35 supports chrome 62-64 at the moment

Sorry but this solution (if correct) highly depends on the workflow of the user who posted the question. Introducing a new tool when there's no real need looks like a desperate attempt to solve the issue without really understanding the nature/source of the problem.

I updated this to 2.38.0, But when I check the version, it always says 2.33. I have changed the package.config (Visual Studio C#)...I cannot find any reference to 2.33 anymore. Where could this be? I tried to delete the project and recreate it.I am using the standalone selenium server..

my chromedriver didn't automatically update in katalon studio. why is this and what can I do about it?

[Pinte Dani]

Performed chromedriver update in visual studio with NuGet package Manager and everything works fine as before.

[NarendraR]

This solution doesn't work. i have chrome 71 and driver version 2.45

[Yashwardhan Pauranik]

@NarendraR did you find any solution to this problem? It's been almost 2 days, I can't find the solution

[NarendraR]

@YashwardhanPauranik, Yes i found. refer this stackoverflow.com/questions/53883518/…

[Yashwardhan Pauranik]

@NarendraR Thanks bro..I'll look into this

[Igor Melão]

I just need to put a new args to force to update the chromedriver because of already existed an version installed. npm install -g --force chromedriver
