enable_bidi gone?

In python, selenium==4.29.0 chrome = Version 137.0.7151.55 (Official Build) (64-bit) on linux.

chromedriver --version
ChromeDriver 137.0.7151.55 (254bc711794d7ad269495f3d419a209935b78cad-refs/branch-heads/7151@{#1757})

A few months ago we started using enable_bidi in chrome options to work around an issue with chrome where in selenium tests we could not capture a "are you sure you want to leave this page, you have unsaved changes" type alert.

Adding enable_bidi had the annoying side effect of adding the bidi tab where all log messages appeared but that was okay, our tests worked.

Today they no longer work (we cannot see or capture the alert on leaving page, chrome never shows it) and enable_bidi does not appear to create the bidi tab either.

from selenium.webdriver import Chrome, ChromeOptions
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
import time
if __name__ == "__main__":

    options = ChromeOptions()

    options.enable_bidi = True

    driver = Chrome(
        options=options,
        service=ChromeService(executable_path="/usr/local/bin/chromedriver"),
    )

    driver.get("https://www.example.com/")
    # No bidi tab which is what I am expecting here
    time.sleep(5)

    driver.close()
    driver.quit()

Seemed to start with chrome 137, chrome 136 works as before according to colleagues.

I don't see any seleniumbase code in your example. This is the https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase repo, not https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium, which is a completely separate project with different APIs. If you have an issue with regular selenium, you should bring it up with them.

Apologies and thanks for the redirect.
