Error [HTTP / 1.1 404 Not Found] in chromedriver

Post by thiagunix » Mon May 25, 2020 4:57 pm

My macro using chrome has stopped working and is showing the error [HTTP / 1.1 404 Not Found].

I have already reinstalled Macro Scheduler and chromedriver and the error continues.

I know that the problem occurs because the macro scheduler tries to send the url to chrome and it does not find and the error.

The chromedriver opens and closes quickly. Has anyone had this problem?

My Macro

Code: Select all

Let>CHROMEDRIVER_EXE=C:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe

//start a chrome session
ChromeStart>session_id

//navigate to google.com
ChromeNavigate>session_id,url,https://www.google.com/

//get some info 
ChromeGetInfo>session_id,url,theURL
ChromeGetInfo>session_id,title,theTitle
ChromeGetInfo>session_id,source,theSource

//we can go back and forward ... 
ChromeNavigate>session_id,back,
ChromeNavigate>session_id,forward,
Thanks

I'm brand new to Macro Scheduler and have the same problem. I followed all of the same steps you did - twice - and still getting the same exact error. I just haven't gotten around to posting about it yet to look for a solution.

(I then tried webrecorder but had different issues)

One or two people have mentioned this and it's either gone away or remained a mystery. I've never been able to replicate a similar problem.

Check if ChromeDriver is running in task manager. If so Kill it. Now run it MANUALLY. You should see some info on the console. Now run the script - it will use the ChromeDriver you just started manually. The ChromeDriver console will hopefully give you more info.

The server is running without a problem, but my machine stopped working

Return execute console

Code: Select all

C:\chromedriver>chromedriver.exe

It was working normally on my server yesterday.

Today I ran the routine and started giving the same error.

Opens the chromedriver and closes quickly.

Do you have any tips?

Sounds like the port is in use. Maybe ChromeDriver is already running, or something else has the port open. Try rebooting and/or you can set a different port by setting CHROMEDRIVER_PORT prior to calling ChromeStart.

Are you sure that port is free?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/418 ... is-normall

This is definitely a network issue - either the port is unavailable or the firewall is blocking it. Might want to search the ChromeDriver support site.

I suddenly got the same problem today. Following the suggestion, I started ChromeDriver manually (as Administrator), ran the script and it started to work again.

Not sure if relevant or not, before running the script I also commented out
//Let>CHROMEDRIVER_EXE=c:\chromedriver.exe
got a warning, but it ran ok. Then I removed // and it seems to work fine now.

I had the same issue, in my case it was due to the fact that chrome browser had been updated to a newer version, therefore the version of ChromeDriver in my script folder was no longer compatible.

Visit chrome://version/ in your browser to see your chrome version number, then visit https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads to grab the ChromeDriver version for your current Chrome installation.
