Chrome version 44 has a selenium issue

I am using Selenium and Chrome to write a test, yesterday when my Chrome upgraded from 43 to 44, my test had some problems with action.sendkey ("arrow.down") etc.

I tried uninstalling Chrome and installing Chrome 43, but as soon as I do that it will update it to 44 !!! I also tried chromedriver 2.16, but that didn't work either.

How can I fix this?

It has to do with Keys.ENTER, Keys.TAB, Keys.SPACE don't work on Chrome 44 and Input.dispatchKeyEvents doesn't handle some keys correctly .

The problem has been fixed. You need to give it some time and update as soon as a new chrome release comes out, or go back to 43. Or install chromium

from trunk .



Update about AutoUpdate

This issue will be resolved shortly after the new version is released, but for now just uninstall Chrome 44, then install chrome 43 and disable its automatic download.

I have seen the following problems on chrome 44:

  • element.click

    doesn't always work, I have to wait a couple of seconds before pressing. I used a css selector. This worked fine on Chrome 43.
  • driver.findElement

    keeps throwing NoSuchElementException

    even though the element is on the page.
  • Find any item after page reload or new page load in StaleElementException

    .
  • Creating and deleting WebDriver does not work as expected: it opens multiple empty instances in Chrome 44.

I am blocking Chrome heavily. I've filed Chromium bug # 515171 but I'm not sure if they'll look at it.
