Same issue here, but in UI mode, tried Selenium 3.4.0 and 3.5.3, Chrome Version 61.0.3163.79 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I had the same issue and noticed that if you use the param "app" when creating the driver instance the page won't load.

Hi!

I just faced the problem and I found a workaround.

running javascript

document.forms["formId"]["radioId"].checked=true;

this solved my problem, also with headless.

greetings!

2.42 as well. I don't know if this is the reason for the issue but it's happening on a page with an iframe. Everything inside the iframe works fine, but not on the parent outside of it.

[tomaszwojciechowski]

I suggest reopening this issue.

Seeing this issue right now.

It worked for me after adding:

options.addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
options.addArguments("--headless");

[unalilker]

Hi @ltiritilli,

It just worked like a charm with that arguments. (Selenium ChromeDriver 2.43.0)

Thanks a lot for your solution

[animagiq]

[janmohammadi]

It worked for me after adding:

options.addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
options.addArguments("--headless");

Worked for me very well! But why?!?!?!!

[mtclimberguy]

Seeing this in Selenium ChromeDriver 2.45.615355 and Chrome 71.0.3578.98. Using in RSpec for Ruby on Rails. I can confirm that this is with a Stripe iframe on the page.

I tried adding the additional options like so, but still got the error:
Capybara.register_driver(:headless_chrome) do |app|
capabilities = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome(
chromeOptions: { args: %w[headless disable-gpu window-size=1920,1080 start-maximized] }
)

Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(
app,
browser: :chrome,
desired_capabilities: capabilities
)
end
