selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: target frame detached

Question

every now and then this error appears when I launch my script. It doesn't happen all the time, I often only need to run the script again to not get this message anymore. What could be the problem?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 927, in page_source
    return self.execute(Command.GET_PAGE_SOURCE)['value']

Try to check that:

• Selenium is upgraded to the latest available version
• ChromeDriver and Chrome Browser are updated to the latest available version
• Or, if you use Firefox, check that GeckoDriver and Firefox Browser are updated to the latest available version
