selenium: Not able to launch Chrome 116.x version with Selenium 4.11[🐛 Bug]:

What happened?

I am using Selenium version: 4.11, with Chrome browser Version 116.0.5845.97 I am not using webdriver manager.

My code: Webdriver driver; ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.addArguments(“–disable-infobars”); options.addArguments(“–remote-allow-origins=*”); driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

driver.get(“https://google.com”);

How can we reproduce the issue?

Webdriver driver;
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-infobars");
 options.addArguments("--remote-allow-origins=*");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

driver.get("https://google.com");

Relevant log output

We were also facing similar issue, since our project was also running behind proxy. Below code fixed the issue for us.

Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.setAutodetect(true); // true or false depends on system proxy settings
//proxy.setHttpproxy("some.host.com:8081/");
proxy.setSslProxy("some.host.com:8081/");
  
//chromeOptions.setBinary("C:\\Program Files (x86)...\\chrome.exe"); //may be needed some times if chrome binary is not in C:\\Program Files...
chromeOptions.setProxy(proxy);
driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
