OS: Linux 1b617851a909 4.9.27-moby 1 SMP Thu May 11 04:01:18 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Selenium Version:
3.4.0
Browser:
Chrome

Browser Version:
Version 58.0.3029.81 (64-bit)

Expected Behavior -

On opening intent links, the driver could not lose access to the browser.

Actual Behavior -

xdg-open tries to open such content from the URL and the driver stops working.

This is the trace of the error on trying a driver.refresh once the 'xdg-open' pops up:

objc[4481]: Class JavaLaunchHelper is implemented in both /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java and /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/libinstrument.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

Steps to reproduce -

Given starting a browser using this user agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.4; Nexus 5 Build/KTU84P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.114 Mobile Safari/537.36"
When trying to open the next type of URL: intent://stream/#Intent;scheme=freevr;package=[PACKAGE_NAME];S.stream=[STREAM_URL]
Then the xdg-open 'alert' appears. That makes losing control over the driver, per example the driver is unable to do a navigate.refresh.

Here is a screenshot of the xdg-open pops up:

I suggest raising this with the ChromeDriver project. There is not much we can do to fix it.

https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/help

Please be sure to include a completely reproducible test script for them, without a way to reproduce the issue you are seeing there is no good way for them to fix the problem. A reproducible test script includes a WebDriver script and a link to the page in question. If you can not provide a link, create one using jsfiddle.net
