Element not found with xpath-Exception in Behat project with Selenium and ChromeDriver 77

[mvoelker]

I do have massive problems with the current version of ChromeDriver in a Behat project.
All Behat\Mink\WebAssert->pageTextContains('xyz') calls fail with an Element not found with xpath, //html in vendor\instaclick\php-webdriver\lib\WebDriver\Exception.php:155 error.

Not sure if the problem source is Behat / Mink / Selenium2 / Selenium2-Driver / php-webdriver / ChromeDriver or Chrome itself.
I hoped that the new version 1.4.6 of php-webdriver will fix the problem ... but it did not.

(Relevant) Callstack:

And I wait to see "__content_loaded__and__init_done__"                     # FeatureContext::iWaitForTheTextToAppear()
	WebDriver\Exception\NoSuchElement: Element not found with xpath, //html
	 in vendor\instaclick\php-webdriver\lib\WebDriver\Exception.php:155
	Stack trace:
	#0 vendor\instaclick\php-webdriver\lib\WebDriver\Container.php(89): WebDriver\Exception::factory(7, 'Element not fou...')
	#1 vendor\behat\mink-selenium2-driver\src\Selenium2Driver.php(974): WebDriver\Container->element('xpath', '//html')
	#2 vendor\behat\mink-selenium2-driver\src\Selenium2Driver.php(511): Behat\Mink\Driver\Selenium2Driver->findElement('//html')
	#3 vendor\behat\mink\src\Element\Element.php(176): Behat\Mink\Driver\Selenium2Driver->getText('//html')
	#4 vendor\behat\mink\src\WebAssert.php(257): Behat\Mink\Element\Element->getText()
	#5 vendor\behat\mink-extension\src\Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext.php(292): Behat\Mink\WebAssert->pageTextContains('__content_loade...')
	#6 features\bootstrap\FeatureContext.php(367): Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext->assertPageContainsText('__content_loade...')

Versions from composer.json:

• behat/behat v3.3.1
• behat/gherkin v4.4.5
• behat/mink v1.7.1
• behat/mink-extension 2.3.1
• behat/mink-selenium2-driver v1.3.1
• instaclick/php-webdriver 1.4.6

Runtime versions:

• php 7.3.9
• selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar
• ChromeDriver 77.0.3865.40
• Google Chrome 77.0.3865.90

Issue #92 sounds similar.

Any help is highly appreciated.
