Using console with Selenium Webdriver.Chrome () throws exceptions

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with Selenium webdriver 2.38.4, Chromium 37.0 and chromedriver 2.10. I am running a basic script:

chrome_options = Options()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options,
                              executable_path='/usr/bin/chromedriver')
driver.get('http://www.google.com')

Once I start looking around at the Chrome console, the next set of commands I'm trying to execute (driver.title, driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body') )

looks like this:

WebDriverException: Message: u "unknown error: Runtime.evaluate threw exception: TypeError: Cannot read property 'click' null \ n (session info: chrome = 37.0.2062.94) \ n (Driver info: chromedriver = 2.10.267517, platform = Linux 3.5.0-45-generic x86)

Does anyone know why this is happening? Its kind of hard rebooting every time just to keep it working properly.

This is because your console is open in a browser. Just close it and you won't see this error again.

I agree with Ricardo even if you have the same problem like "Element not visible" or the error mentioned "Unknown error: Runtime.evaluate throw exception": u can resolve it by minimizing ur chrome browser.

Maybe (or can't!) Help, but when I had this error for other elements, I got around it by giving the element that I am looking for a name and id.

Not suitable for body tag, however if that means you can run tests.

I assume, of course, that you are testing something that you can change.
