Chrome opens with “Data;” with selenium

Question

I am a newbie to Selenium and trying to open localhost:3000 page from Chrome via selenium driver. The code is :

import com.google.common.base.Function;
imp         


        

Answer 1

I've been running in a similar situation, the fix in my case was simply to upgrade chrome webdriver to its latest version (in my case V2.27).

The cause of showing Data; instead of the real application URL was that:

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://:/wd/hub"), desiredCapabilities);

failed to get created. Instead, driver object was holding a null value.

So after chrome driver upgrade , it had been created correctly and problem solved.

Hope this helps who's still stuck!
