selenium: [🐛 Bug]: Chrome 111 is not compatible with default HTTP Client

Adding

   <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-http-jdk-client</artifactId>
        </dependency>

and

        System.setProperty("webdriver.http.factory", "jdk-http-client");

makes tests work again

For people searching for the fix; Here is the “Official” answer:

1. If you use Java 11+ please update to the latest HTTP Client. The default client is required for backwards compatibility with Java 8, but has not been maintained and is not in as good of shape; the new client is better and will be what we use when we (eventually) remove support for Java 8.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-http-jdk-client</artifactId>
 </dependency>

and

System.setProperty("webdriver.http.factory", "jdk-http-client");

1. If you do not use Java 11+, you temporarily need to add an argument to your ChromeOptions instance:

options.addArguments("--remote-allow-origins=*");

1. If you are using Headless, note that Headless is Going Away. Please update your code to use:

options.addArguments("--headless=new");

1. This issue will be closed when Selenium adds a flag to the Service arguments so that this flag is turned on by default. The next Selenium release should have the fix and make the other solutions unnecessary.

This will be released in a couple of days. In the meantime, the workaround described above is still valid.

How can i add this new arg for the chrome options??

Is it something like this?

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.addArguments(“–remote-allow-origins=*”);

??

Thanks guys

The issue is in Java Selenium when using the Java 8 HTTP client. We are working on a fix as we speak and should be out with version 4.9.0 next week the latest. Titus comment above is on point and has all the information needed to go around this issue while the new version comes out.

Folks, please avoid spamming the issue, otherwise we might need to lock comments on it.

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options); // update this mentioned line

Ok, we could also add this to the Service class the same way we are doing for Firefox. That probably is the right thing to do if we continue to support Java < 11

@kmosakowska-clgx it worked for me with serenity <serenity.version>3.2.5</serenity.version>.

I think the issue might be related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9673 which seems to be fixed in netty 5 (I believe Selenium is using netty 4 still)

reminder: It’s fixed in the latest version of Selenium

rodriguesxd7 remove Webdriver from LoginPage super constructor. That should be easy to spot using an IDE (intellij, vscode, etc).

public LoginPage() {
       super(driver);
   }

Does anyone know a solution for Selenide?

looks like it’s already added in 6.12.2 with PR-2194

The code below worked for me with Maven Project, but I could not use this same code in Java Project. So if you want to try this please go with this.

	public void launchBrowser()
	{
		WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
		
		ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
		options.addArguments("--remote-allow-origins=*");
		DesiredCapabilities cp=new DesiredCapabilities();

		cp.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);

		options.merge(cp);

		WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
		
	}
