Common Issues and Resolutions

Selenium DevTools CDP Error

Issue: When using CDP actions for network tab, console, etc., if you get an error like:

common.CustomException: You are using a no-op implementation of the CDP. 

The most likely reason for this is that Selenium was unable to find an implementation 

of the CDP protocol that matches your browser. Please be sure to include an implementation 

on the classpath, possibly by adding a new (maven) dependency of 

org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-devtools-vNN:4.19.1 

where NN matches the major version of the browser you're using.

Build info: version: '4.19.1', revision: 'abe0ee07dc'

System info: os.name: 'Windows 11', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '10.0', java.version: '23.0.1'

Driver info: DevTools Connection

Resolution:Then that means there is a compatibility issue between the Selenium version and the Chrome (CDP) version.
Go to the link below and check the Selenium version compatibility with the CDP version. Update the Selenium version in your pom.xml accordingly:
