Selenium Crashing: Chrome automation extension has crashed

Question

I am using Selenium web drivers, and today, for no apparant reason I started getting an error with the message\"Chrome Automation Extension has crashed. Click this balloon

Answer 1

For Python this solved my problem use:

from selenium import webdriver

# start the browser
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
# options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
# options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
# options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")

print(driver.title)
print(driver.current_url)

#driver.quit() # Uncoment to keep chromedriver open.
