ChromeDriver error “unknown error: cannot get automation extension”

Question

Since the 7th of February all my tests are failing with the same error; the log entry reads:

RESPONSE MaximizeWindow unknown error: cannot get automation ext         


        

Answer 1

As mentioned above, it's related to the chromedriver. In the release notes of version 2.33, it's mentioned that they fixed an issue related to resizing/positioning.

Latest Release: ChromeDriver 2.33

Supports Chrome v60-62

Changes include:

• Fixes a bug which caused Resizing/Positioning Window commands to fail on Chrome 62+.
