What is the URL? Notice the error text `Cannot navigate to invalid URL` — Tony Ennis, Aug 25 '13 at 13:26
the URL is fine, it happens only since i updated to the latest version of the chromedriver, with older version i can open the URL and get no errors — raga saleh, Aug 25 '13 at 13:34
yes i'm using the latest version of selenium and chromedriver — raga saleh, Aug 25 '13 at 13:41

I too got this error "org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: unhandled inspector error: {"code":-32000,"message":"Cannot navigate to invalid URL"}"

To remove hardcoded URL and calling a URL from a file I defined like this - ex: url="https://test.com" then I got the above error, after so many research and failures - simply I removed double quotes...it worked ex: url=https://test.com

It happens if you´re using relative path to open the link. You can use absolute path (starting with http://) or - if it is an internal link/button on the web - you can mapp it as WebElement and perform click() method.

We managed to overcome the above error by changing the initialization Url. but now we are experiencing a bunch of new issues the latest chrome version, latest chromedriver and latest selenium versions. Everything is extremely slow and we get many timeout since than.

This is not a helpful post. Please elaborate as to what specifically you changed to get it to work. Also complaints about a 1year old version of chrome driver are obsolete and not helpful to new readers of this post – HRVHackers Apr 20 '14 at 21:45
