WebDriver: Chrome browser opens but doesn't load a page

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 4765

@Test
public void sampleFailingTest() {                  
System.setProperty(ChromeDriverService.CHROME_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY,
    "C:\home\regression\utils\WebDriverUtils\src\main\resources\chromedriver.exe");
                    ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
                    driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
                    driver.get("http://www.test.com");
}

Expected Result:

I should be navigated to the www.test.com page.

Actual Result:

I'm not. Instead I'm seeing an empty page with the url passed to the address bar. Please,
take a look at the screenshot.


NOTES:

If I run the chrome browser in --no-sandbox mode, it's working just fine.

This is the only thing I can see in the output console:

Started ChromeDriver
port=34567
version=23.0.1240.0
log=C:\home\regression\utils\WebDriverUtils\chromedriver.log

I have applied a temporary fix by using:

chromeOptions.addArguments("--no-sandbox");

Closing the issue as chromedriver v.1 is obsolete, all the users should switch to chromedrier
2.x. If the issue is still present in 2.x please send the report to the chromedriver
tracker [1]
