Answer 1

Hey, I was seeing the same issue. The problem only appears when using Chrome 65. With Chrome 64 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!

But, I am Using Chrome Version-86.0.4240.22 with ChromeDriver -86.0.4240.22..

Ensure that you've gotten your browser up to date and get the latest version of the ChromeDriver executable
Extract the ChromeDriver and explicitly set the System property when initializing the ChromeDriver object...
Ex:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

Thanks Karan!! I have updated the browser and its working fine...
