I recently upgraded my chrome version to 60 and chromedriver to version 2.31. Post that I have started getting the following exception when I try to do a maximize of the browser window.

driver.driver.manage().window().maximize()

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: failed to change window state to maximized, current state is normal (Session info: chrome=60.0.3112.78) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.31.488763 (092de99f48a300323ecf8c2a4e2e7cab51de5ba8),platform=Linux 4.2.0-27-generic x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 108 milliseconds Build info: version: '2.53.1', revision: 'a36b8b1cd5757287168e54b817830adce9b0158d', time: '2016-06-30 19:26:09' System info: host: 'bb-blr-prod-stage-stg1-01', ip: '10.3.211.2', os.name: 'Linux', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '4.2.0-27-generic', java.version: '1.7.0_80' Session ID: c7de7149dd490cc7760d2f4fc49f0325 Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver Capabilities [{platform=LINUX, acceptSslCerts=true, javascriptEnabled=true, browserName=chrome, chrome={userDataDir=/tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.WABPhO, chromedriverVersion=2.31.488763 (092de99f48a300323ecf8c2a4e2e7cab51de5ba8)}, networkConnectionEnabled=false, unexpectedAlertBehaviour=, rotatable=false, setWindowRect=true, locationContextEnabled=true, mobileEmulationEnabled=false, pageLoadStrategy=normal, version=60.0.3112.78, takesHeapSnapshot=true, cssSelectorsEnabled=true, databaseEnabled=false, handlesAlerts=true, browserConnectionEnabled=false, webStorageEnabled=true, nativeEvents=true, hasTouchScreen=false, applicationCacheEnabled=false, takesScreenshot=true}]

This bug was initially fixed in ChromeDriver 2.42, and was actual for macOS until 2.44 (check changelogs: http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads).
So there is a solution for everyone who faces this issue: update your driver version

This is known issue on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for headless Google Chrome. I just used Java's awt pakage to get maximum resolution of whatevevr screen i.e. xvbf for Ubuntu LTS and current screen for Windows 10 and set it in arggument of ChromeOption to configure Webdriver

java.awt.Dimension screenDimension = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

chromeOptions.addArguments("--window-size=" + (int) screenDimension.getWidth() + "," + (int) screenDimension.getHeight());
