Unable to switch to web view in hybrid app.

The problem

Hi, I am trying to switch to web context from native and then switch back. However it throws an error at me which I have tried to solve with solutions found online but nothing seems to be working. The code flow is to click an element within the native context which then redirects to a webpage to approve authentication and then return back to the native context.

The error is thrown by:

driver.context((String) contextNames.toArray()[1]);

which is:

[Chromedriver] Error: Failed to start Chromedriver session: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. (Original error: unknown error: Failed to get sockets matching: @webview_devtools_remote_.*23686

My code chunk is:

` wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated (By.id(“com.android.chrome:id/location_bar”)));

    Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
    for (String contextName : contextNames) {
        System.out.println(contextNames); 
    }

    driver.context((String) contextNames.toArray()[1]); 
    System.out.println("Expected chrome: "+driver.getContext());

    WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);

    driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div[4]/div/div/div[4]/a[1]")).click();

    driver.context("NATIVE_APP");

as well as in my capabilities I have the following:

` capabilities.setCapability(“appium-version”, “1.7.2”);

    capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");

    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", deviceName);

    capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "de.codenauts.hockeyapp");

    capabilities.setCapability("appActivity","net.hockeyapp.client.HomeActivity");

    capabilities.setCapability("setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled","true");

Environment

My Appium version is 1.7.2 The mobile device is running chrome 65.0.3325.109 The chromedriver version I have is 3.38 node version v8.10.0 Android 6.01, real device: LG-k557
