1.8.1: No Chromedriver found that can automate 0.0.0

[matias]

Running appium 1.8.1 in Linux against a device with Chrome 66.0.3359 this happens when trying to find an element on a webview after switching to web context (facebook login in a native app):

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome ‘0.0.0’. See https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/web/chromedriver.md for more details. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Same code running in 1.8.0 works fine.

Hello,
I have the exact same problem, when I try to switch to webview context in my app.
But it’s happen with appium 1.8.1 AND 1.8.0. So I can’t make it work…
Thanks !

For me is similar, here are logs:

[debug] [Chromedriver] Found Chrome bundle ‘com.android.webview’ version ‘39.0.0’
[Chromedriver] Error: No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome ‘39.0.0’

39 is version for com.android.webview not Chrome installed on emulator. Problem only occurs on emulator

Also reproducible on Appium version 1.8.1.
