Message: timeout: Timed out receiving message from renderer with Chrome 113

[steenb0k]

Hello,

I have the following Python code that worked fine a few weeks ago.

Now it fails and I am struggling to understand why. Error is: TimeoutException: Message: timeout: Timed out receiving message from renderer.

I am using the following versions (latest):

• OS: Ubuntu
• Chrome version : 113.0.5672.126
• Undetected Chromedriver : 3.4.7
• Selenium: 4.9.1

The code works fine on my desktop but fails on Github Actions even though it used to work.

From what I understand, this error often occur when there is a missmatch between the Chrome driver and Chrome - but i'm using the latest versions here.

Is the current version Undetected Chromedriver not compatible with the latest version of Chrome (113.0.5672.126)?

pip install beautifulsoup4 webdriver-manager selenium undetected-chromedriver

Not sure but i have same problem:
Found this but did not work for me:
They said to change --headless=new you can try see if it works for you.

#chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless=new")

Thanks for the tip, didn't work for me neither :/

These are the configurations that worked for me:

options = uc.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("enable-automation")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
options.add_argument("--dns-prefetch-disable")
options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")

self.driver = uc.Chrome(options=options, version_main=113, enable_cdp_events=True, headless=True)

Brilliant, this worked, thanks a lot!

Do you know what what change(s) caused this error to appear?

It looks to me like Chrome has made some optimizations that target the gpu and since my running environment is virtual, it probably had a negative effect. I can't say for sure...just a guess.

facing similar issue. When RDP is closed, getting timed out receiving response from renderer error in selenium logs and application running on chrome will be stuck. We have downgraded/upgraded chrome and chrome driver but still issue persists. When RDP is kept open, there is no issue observed. Can someone help here as its major blocker. Thanks in advance.

options = uc.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("enable-automation")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
options.add_argument("--dns-prefetch-disable")
options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")

self.driver = uc.Chrome(options=options, version_main=113, enable_cdp_events=True, headless=True)

what is uc mean what is hat can anyone tell ?

[Pfefan]

Probably their webdriver and the imported it as uc instead of webdriver as in my example here

import seleniumwire.undetected_chromedriver as webdriver

...

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

[felipesqra]

options = uc.ChromeOptions() options.add_argument("enable-automation") options.add_argument("--no-sandbox") options.add_argument("--disable-extensions") options.add_argument("--dns-prefetch-disable") options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")

self.driver = uc.Chrome(options=options, version_main=113, enable_cdp_events=True, headless=True)

Actually means undetected_chromedriver

import undetected_chromedriver as uc
