Chrome w/ Chromedriver 106 - High failure rates of: "InvalidArgumentException: Message: invalid argument: No target with given id found" and "WebDriverException: Message: disconnected: received Inspector.detached event"

My project (and users) are seeing a new issue which started with the release of chrome & chromedriver v106.

Minimal reproduction case (full code here) - pseudocode:

webdriver = Chrome(options=ChromeOptions(),
                   executable_path=<path to chromedriver>)
webdriver.get('https://www.google.com')
# This fails spuriously:
response = webdriver.request('GET', 'https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_light_color_272x92dp.png')
response.raise_for_status()

Could you help me triage what’s going on? At first glance it seems like the window spawning/window switching isn’t working correctly anymore.

I was seeing this on both selenium-requests v2.0.0 and v1.4.1.

I just applied the workaround for v108 in 2.0.2.

[somsak]

I got similar issue on my environment too.

Chrome 106.0.5249.91 + chromedriver mac_arm64 selenium-requests 2.0.0

Somehow I got around by “commenting” all work around for Chrome that thrown exception in request.py

• line 76

#webdriver.switch_to.window(original_window_handle)

• line 163-164

                #while len(self.window_handles) > window_handles_before:
                #    time.sleep(0.01)

That fixed my problem and made my script to work again just fine.
