Simple side test is failing when --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs option is enabled in chrome

🐛 Bug Report

I have a side file which is using facebook webpage url. The side test is failing with the below error when --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs is passed , the page loads but the open command is giving an error. If the above option is not passed, test is passing.

This behaviour has been observed in both selenium side runner v3 and v4.

PFB error
