bug: Chromiumoxide stopped working with the latest version of Chrome

[RiddleMan]

I found out that new version of Chrome (129.0.6668.90) is breaking a contract, because I ran an example wiki-tokio (cargo run --example wiki-tokio --features=tokio-runtime) and get the following errors:

➞  cargo run --example wiki-tokio --features=tokio-runtime                                                                                                                     [git:main] ✖

It stopped working in tool I maintain https://github.com/RiddleMan/doken . It fails on CI as well as on dev machines. I blame the version of Chrome, because I had it broken on my machine using doken, but my colleague said it was fine. After he updated a Chrome, then it stopped working for him as well. However, I provided simpler code to reproduce the problem.

I imagine they did a breaking change in the CDP, this is related to https://github.com/mattsse/chromiumoxide/pull/197. We should be able to handle breaking changes and skip over those messages.

I'm having exactly the same issue now. The error still persists even after downgrading chrome to a few different versions.

Its because we have not released the ignore of invalid messages most likely. See the PR.

@Sytten any ETA of fix for this issue?

[Sytten]

Its fixed on https://github.com/mattsse/chromiumoxide/pull/246, just needs to be merged by @mattsse You can use a fork @kuras120 thats what I do

Any updates on this? I tried to run the wiki-tokyo example using:

chromiumoxide = { version = "0.7.0", features = ["tokio-runtime"], default-features = false }

and

chromium: Version 136.0.7103.92 (Official Build) (64-bit)

and get the same error:
