stever 10 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 "The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost blah blah timed out after 60 seconds" The external Chrome browser is unusable with this error so everything has stopped. Any suggestions? (This is Ubot 6.7.23 standard version) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PRO 69 Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hello. If you also have access to UBot 5.9.55 you may want to give the Automaxed Browser Automation Plugin a try: https://automaxed.com/plugins/browser-automation https://network.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/26693-automaxed-browser-automation-plugin/ We have feedback from quite some users that love the plugin for it's capabilities. It works with the latest Chrome, works even on difficult sites and has unmachted features.

stever 10 Posted October 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 That fixed nothing - still getting the same error message Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UPPER 3 Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 I am getting almost the same error but it happens when the Borwser "Navigate" function is used. So it makes The external Chrome browser unusable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stever 10 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Me too - looks like another central server issue - don't understand why they can't fix this... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Turin 223 Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 This isn't actually a server issue, and I'm not sure how to reproduce the error on my end, but I can provide some information that might help determine the cause of the error. UBot Studio controls the external browser using selenium. Selenium uses a locally hosted http server to communicate with the controlled chrome window. For some reason or another, selenium is timing out when it tries to communicate with chrome via its locally hosted http server. One thing you can try is turning off all your plugins, and seeing if the error goes away. If it does, you can try to narrow it down to a particular plugin causing the issue. If that doesn't help, then, from a clean UBot with no plugins, let me know step by step how to reproduce this error on my end, so I can investigate the issue deeper. Thanks!

Seth Turin 223 Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 I see, well that error is definitely on our end (or rather, amazon's end). I've resolved it and it should be working now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Seth, Turning off all plugins did not work, I reinstalled Ubot from scratch, deleting all Appdata folders and files, and still getting the same error (see attached screenshot) . What I noticed and I am not sure if this has a relation with this issue, but this started to happen after updating Chrome browser. and for me this error is occuring when I use the "Navigate" command, the bot visits the URL, then it freezes and the error popup. here is the simple script I am trying to run: navigate("https://google.com","Wait") wait(2) navigate("https://yahoo.com","Wait") wait(2) navigate("https://bing.com","Wait") When I run it, the first URL shows, then bot visit the 2nd URL and stop working throwing the error. then, when I try to run the script again, it stopped right away without visiting any URL.

Same here - I get similar error messages. The splash screen error doesn't happen every time, but the navigate error occurs from the start for me: I think the Chrome browser update may have something to do with it. Only happens when the Chrome browser is enabled - not the internal browser. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stever 10 Posted October 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Also getting this error after the Uh-oh splash screen error pointing to the WeServer: Obvs, I don't have internet connection issues. The uh-oh screen appears most times after starting Ubot, but sometimes it starts as normal and then exhibits the behavior described by @UPPER Not easily repeatable but I noticed yesterday that when you load a script to just navigate to different URLs, while the script stops after the first navigate element, it seems you can still run individual elements manually and they operate as expected. Also - another point that may be relevant: the "validating licence" step is taking an age to complete. When it does, (because I have a valid licence!) the Uh-oh splash screen loads. Is the licence validation delay interfering with / or connected with the webserver connection problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bmon3y 1 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Getting this every time I try to interact through installed Chrome. The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL "http://localhost......." /execute timed out for 60 seconds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danmalat 0 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Same issue here! I have narrowed it down to when I visit or manually interact with specific websites. An example of a website where it instantly breaks the connection with the browser when i navigate to it is cosmoprof . com (remove the spaces around the dot). Every attempt to use the navigate command after results in the following error. The only way to get the browser to respond is by restarting uBot Studio... Steps taken to remedy: Uninstalled uBot Studo Removed the folder "AppData\Roaming\UBot Studio" Removed the folder "AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\UBot User Data" Removed uBot Studio entries in Windows database Re-installed uBot Studio using only pre-installed plugins (all disabled) Attempted a navigate comand to the above website This didn't fix anything - same error. I'm guessing there was an update to Chrome which broke the connection... I'm hoping a fix can be made quickly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stever 10 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 @Seth Turin Hi Seth - as you can see from this thread, this is a growing problem. I'm sure we're all willing to help you troubleshoot the issue, but at the moment, for us, and maybe others, Ubot is unusable. I've had the problem for nearly three weeks and it's affecting my business (I use Ubot to create products on Fiverr) - having to suspend my gigs. Hope you can sort it out.

stever 10 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 I suspect it's because (a) there are other fires burning, or (b) they don't know how to - maybe they can't replicate it, so go to (a). Super frustrating especially since the inbuilt browser is now so old it gets bounced on so many sites - the whole package is mainly unusable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
