chromedriver-issue-close-tab

This is a repository to demonstrate a chromedriver's bug that it crashes while executing a command.

Issue Description

When the tab the webdriver focuses on is closed in the middle of executing a command, chromedriver unexpectedly terminates.

In the example this repository shows we send a Screenshot command, but you can reproduce it with other commands.

Environment

• chromedriver 107.0.5304.62
• reproduced on Mac

How to reproduce it

Reproducible scenario in main.js:

1. webdriver visits https://autifyhq.github.io/chromedriver-issue-close-tab/
2. open a new tab by clicking the link
3. switch window to the new tab
4. click the "Close tab" button, which close the tab after 1 second
5. send many Screenshot commands so that the tab is closed while executing one of them

You can try it on the following instructions:

1. clone the repository
2. run npm install
3. run npx chromedriver to launch chromedriver
   • or you can run it with docker: docker run --rm -it -p 9515:9515 selenium/standalone-chrome:4.6.0-20221104 chromedriver --allowed-ips=""
4. run node main.js
5. you will see the script fails because chromedriver terminates during the script

If you run chromedriver with docker, you will see the error message Segmentation fault on terminating chromedriver.
