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

I faced the issue, too. I have replaced the existing chrome driver which I had in my C folder with new chrome driver downloaded from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads, which resolved the issue.
