I am getting the below error while sending keys.
Result Message:
System.InvalidOperationException : unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.146)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120 (e3e53437346286c0bc2d2dc9aa4915ba81d9023f),platform=Windows NT 10.0.14393 x86_64)
I have updated the chrome driver to 2.36 but still my code search for 2.33?
Any idea ?
I've gotten the same error, please download the last ChromeDriver version and/or update chrome browser version and it will be working fine :)
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.36/
After updating the Google Chrome browser to Version 65.0.3325.146 (Official Build) (64-bit), I'm also encountered with the same error
while sending values to the input field, here's the error message...
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
using Chromedriver 2.32 and Google Chrome 65.0
As I did some research on the same, I found a recent commit on Google chrome v65 changelogs which help me to resolve the issue.
Solution:
Update Google Chrome to latest stable version (in my case it's v65 on 9/mar/2018)
Download and configure latest chromedriver (v2.36).
For configuring chromedriver (on Ubuntu) follow these steps...
Extract the downloaded zip file.
Copy the extracted chromedriver file to /usr/local/bin or to the location where you usually store the executable binaries.
Add the same path (where you place the chromedriver file) to environment variable PATH as
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
For testing the installation, restart the terminal and type this command
chromedriver --version
it would show the version of chromedriver that you just installed.
Note: If the chromedriver already installed and configured then just replace the existing driver file and If you don't know where the Chromedriver binaries already stored then try to find the file using following command
sudo find -H / -type f -iname chromedriver
It is because of the update of chrome browser version from 64.xx to 65.xx
Now you have 2 options to run your tests successfully.
Downgrade your chrome browser to previous version and with the old chromedriver which you have now.
Upgrade your Chromedriver to 2.36 version with the updated Chrome browser.
visit https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.36 and download the new chromedriver.
Option 2 is better.
Replace your ChromeDriver.exe with latest version.. Same can be downloaded from Google easily.
Also its better to get it done automatically by using webDriver manager as explained below -
1. Add Mvn dependency to your project POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>${webdrivermanager.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Now in your Browser instantiation class instead of using traditional way to create driver i.e. by using System.setProperty(See belwo)...
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","src/test/resources/drivers/chromedriver.exe");
Use below approach:
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
webDriver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
And that's all, you are done!
Use below links for your reference-
What is Browser Binary Manager how to use it for Selenium
or chkout git project for same-

Need to update chromedriver :
In console, run: chromedriver-update 2.36
The error says it all :
System.InvalidOperationException : unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.146)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120
The error clearly complains about InvalidOperationException
Your main issue is the version compatibility between the binaries you are using as follows :
You are using chromedriver=2.33
Release Notes of chromedriver=2.33 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome v60-62
You are using chrome=65.0
Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.37 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome v64-66
Your Selenium Client version is unknown to us.
So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver version (v2.33) and the Chrome Browser version (v65.0)
Solution
Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.11.0.
Upgrade ChromeDriver to ChromeDriver v2.37 level.
Keep Chrome version in between Chrome v64.x-66.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.37 release notes)
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
If your base Web Browser/Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Browser/Web Client.
Execute your #Test.
If you are on Mac:
brew upgrade selenium-server-standalone
brew upgrade chromedriver
if the above two are not installed:
brew install selenium-server-standalone
brew install chromedriver
I'm running Protractor and have encountered the same issue.
The solution in my case was rather simple.
$ npm update protractor -g
$ webdriver-manager update
If you are on the latest stable Google Chrome (e.g. 67) I recommend to:
brew uninstall chromedriver
brew tap homebrew/cask
brew cask install chromedriver
These set of commands will uninstall your current chromedriver, check for updates and install the latest found (e.g. 2.40).
Use xpaths instead of class names to locate elements
After updating chrome and its drivers it didn't helped me at all!!
I don't know how much it makes sense but it worked for me when i replaced class name with xpath. This is the xpath , i used to automate sending whatsapp message using python.
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="main"]/footer/div[1]/div[2]/div')
previously i Was Using
driver.find_element_by_class_name('Some class Name Here')
In my case the team I'm on points selenium to a specific chromedriver file we had. In order to get Selenium to use the updated chromedriver, I first installed it with brew and then created a symbolic link to point where Selenium looks for it:
brew install chromedriver
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/chromedriver/2.36/bin/chromedriver /path/where/selenium/expects/chromedriver
On the chance this might be helpful to someone I needed an additional step:
I am on MacOS X. I did
brew upgrade chromedriver
bundle exec chromedriver-upgrade
I have the chromedriver-helper gem installed, but it is stashed and requires the "bundle exec" prefix or the shell can't find the command.
The above fixed my problem.
As mentioned by others, the latest chromedriver did the trick for me. In case you downloaded the driver manually and want to tell appium to use the new chromedriver you can do so by this command:
appium --chromedriver-executable /path/to/driver/chromedriver ....
I'm running Protractor (webdriver-manager) with Selenium in a Windows environment, and I had to do the following:
webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome="2.36" (This downloaded the new Chromedriver to the right path but didn't enable it in protractor.)
Edit %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\config.json and changed the chromedriver value from 2.32 to 2.36.
Delete my old chromedriver_2.32.exe from %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\selenium for good measure (not sure if that was required.)
Or:
When another Chromedriver update became needed, I was no longer able to update this way. A configuration setting still expected the old path and filename, and I couldn't figure out where to change that setting. So I just renamed the latest chromedriver to "chromedriver.exe" and stuck it in C:\Windows\system32 (which is always referenced by PATH). Crude, but effective.
If you're using gulp-protractor plugin, make sure to update it as well.
I don't know if you're still on this, but I was receiving a similar error. I had the latest version of chromedriver in my PATH and Google Chrome was updated. I run Python 3.6 on windows 10 x64 bit. What I was getting trying to select a value from a dropdown menu on a webpage. The weird thing was, it would select the dropdown value correctly and the page would be updated nicely, but I'd receive that stupid error anyway and my script would freeze. So I just made an exception error handler for it, because like I said it selected the dropdown value correctly, so I just wanted to bypass that dumb error message:
# select by value
try:
select.select_by_value('100')
except:
pass
hopefully someone finds this helpful.
The issue is because of mismatch in chromedriver and chrome browser version.
Below link specifies the versions of chromedriver supporting the chrome browser's version.

I'm trying to use an older version of Firefox on AWS (running selenium, 55 isn't compatible) but I haven't had any luck. When I try to download the compressed older files, I get
(firefox:6186): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message
Any ways to fix this/alternate ways to download?
I faced same issue with firefox when I was running selenium project with it. I did the following things that helped me. First uninstall the firefox by using command,
sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox
Some of the old files could also be there, you need to remove them manually.
Then you can install the previous version from the link provided below which shows list of all previous versions of the firefox, version 54, works fine for selenium.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox
When you install it, Mozilla build for Firefox would be opened as a browser and you can perform selenium tests there.
Hope this helps!
I'm trying to setup an EmberJS project using ember-cli. I want to be able to use Mocha/Chai instead of the default qunit, but I am getting an error at the first step on installing ember-cli-mocha.
I create the new ember project with ember new my-project and then from within the project folder I run ember install ember-cli-mocha, selecting Yes to overwrite the tests/test-helper.js.
In the output, immediately following the Installed browser packages via Bower. message I see:
Package ember-cli/ember-cli-test-loader=ember-cli/ember-cli-test-loader not found
I can't find any information on this directly. I've tried installing the various packages themselves, before the ember-cli-mocha package via npm and bower, but I always get that message when installing ember-cli-mocha through ember-cli.
Anyone else have experience with this? Thanks in advance!
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. Every time I try to install the latest version of VisualSVN Server (3.3.1) I get an error saying it could not create any temporary files.
I really can't figure out what's causing this error. I am installing as an administrator.
Here is a link to the installation logs.
Any help would be appreciated!
The full error is:
MSI (s) (F8!A8) [13:29:08:907]: Product: VisualSVN Server 3.3.1 -- Error 25000. Custom action InstallWMISchemaExecute failed: Error creating temporary file (0x8004402F)
The 0x8004402F is Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) specific error code:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394559
So you have some issues with WMI on your computer. Suggested actions to troubleshoot this issue:
run sfc /scannow command
remove all files in C:\Windows\Temp directory
remove all files in %TEMP% directory
check that LOCAL SYSTEM account has full access to 'C:\Windows\Temp\ directory
I am trying to install a Sitecore package from dev to staging environment, i have used package designer to create this package, but when i try to upload this package on the staging site it results in the following error:
The File exists.<br>
I have also tried uploading the package created using the Sitecore Rocks plugin which also results in the same error.
I am installing the package using installation wizard and uploading the package and i am not overwriting the existing files.
Kindly, help!
This error occurs if the windows temp has more than 65K files. When we cleared those files the issue got resolved.
Maybe there is package with the same name as your new package. Try to rename you package zip file and then upload.
make sure you are installing in the right environment
make sure the file doesnt not already exists (you can look it under the packages folder)
restart app pool and try again. Maybe overwrite the installation file.
there was a issue with sitecore on the staging environment(probably corrupted install). so we took a risk and installed it on live..! It works fine! Thank you all for the help. Much appreciated.
