Selenium WebDriver / NetBeans 8.1 / JDK1.8.0 Exception ChromeDriver Runtime.executionContextCreated has invalid 'context' "

Question

I'm a newbie with Selenium WebDriver. I found some sample code, and adapted it a little bit to get my own test program. I'm having trouble with it! Here's the program:

package test;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class SeleniumTester {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       try {
           System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Program Files\\Selenium\\chromedriver.exe");
           WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
           driver.get("http://www.oddsportal.com/");
           driver.manage().window().maximize();
           String str = driver.getCurrentUrl();
           System.out.println("The current URL is " + str);
       }
       catch (Exception ex) { 
           System.out.println("Encountered exception in SeleniumTester.main() :");
           System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
       }
   }
}

It compiles fine, and starts running, first outputting some diagnostics:

"Starting ChromeDriver (v2.9.248315) on port 11716
October 25, 2017 6:11:22 IP. 
org.openqa.selenium.remote.ProtocolHandshake createSession
INFO: Detected dialect: OSS"

But then, at the line "driver.get(...);" an exception occurs :

"Encountered exception in SeleniumTester.main() :
unknown error: Runtime.executionContextCreated has invalid 'context': {"auxData":{"frameId":"8164.1","isDefault":true},"id":1,"name":"","origin":"://"}

Something about invalid context. What does it mean? How to fix it? Should I perhaps use a different constructor to create the ChromeDriver? Ideas, anyone?

Most likely the issue is because of an older version of chromedriver. Download a newer version of chromedriver and try giving its path. — Atul

I downloaded version 2.33 of chromedriver.exe from chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.33. And now my test program works! In other words, it opens the oddsportal.com front page and displays it in a maximized Chrome window. Thanks a lot for your advice, Atul! — Ilkka V

Most likely the issue is because of an older version of chromedriver. Download a newer version of chromedriver and try giving its path.

The browser version and driver version compatibility issues could cause this issue. The chromedriver page mentions the driver compatibility for browser version. For example, as of now, the page lists:

Latest Release: ChromeDriver 2.33 Supports Chrome v60-62
