org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: session not created exception

Question

I'm trying to run some Selenium tests using the ChromeDriver, and I started getting this error:

Starting ChromeDriver 2.23.409699 (49b0fa931cda1caad0ae15b7d1b68004acd05129) on port 42985

Only local connections are allowed.

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: session not created exception

from unknown error: Runtime.executionContextCreated has invalid 'context': {"auxData":{"frameId":"7576.1","isDefault":true},"id":1,"name":"","origin":"://"}
