I am trying to run some tests in Docker using chromedriver and chrome in Python.
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
However, I used the add_argument('--headless') I have a returning error : Engine not supported, Your version currently configured does not support this"
But, if I do not used the add_argument('--headless'), I received this error:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally. (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist) (The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
Any tip?

I'm running a java webapp in Apache Tomcat/10.0.23 on a remote server which implements selenium chromedriver. Whenever I create the webdriver it returns a HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error.
Google-chrome location:

Google-chrome version:

Thumb rule
A common cause for Chrome to crash during startup is running Chrome as root user (administrator) on Linux. While it is possible to work around this issue by passing --no-sandbox flag when creating your WebDriver session, such a configuration is unsupported and highly discouraged. You need to configure your environment to run Chrome as a regular user instead.

I want to test a localhost app with a selenium script that is executed on a linux VM. No matter whether I try with a manually added webdriver or the webdriver-manager it says "selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'msedgedriver' executable needs to be in PATH."
Any ideas how to fix that? Thanks for your help!
Of course, I skimmed stackoverflow for similiar questions - and there are plenty, but it still doesnt work here. The other error I receive from time to time is: selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Microsoft Edge failed to start: exited abnormally.
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from msedge location /usr/bin/microsoft-edge is no longer running, so msedgedriver is assuming that msedge has crashed.)
import os
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.edge.service import Service as EdgeService
from webdriver_manager.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager
os.environ['PATH'] += r"msedgedriver.exe"
# #Suppress irrelevant error messages
options = webdriver.EdgeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])
driver = webdriver.Edge(options=options)
#driver = webdriver.Edge(service=EdgeService(EdgeChromiumDriverManager(options=options).install()))
base_url = "http://localhost:5000/"
driver.get(base_url)
I installed the most up-to-date version of Chrome, then I verified that the execution_path of the webdriver.Chrome was deprecated, I put the Selenium Service lib and still I can't connect, what could be happening in the code?
def create_selenium_driver():
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

This error message...
WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally." (Driver info: chromedriver=97)
...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.
Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:
The up to date google-chrome version is chrome=96.0.4664.45
But you are using chromedriver=97
Release Notes of chromedriver=97.0 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome version 97
So there is a clear mismatch between chromedriver=91.0 and the chrome=96.0.4664.45
Solution
Ensure that:
ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v96.0 level.
Chrome is updated to current chrome=96.0.4664.45 (as per chrome=96.0.4664.45 release notes).

I have spent hours on this error. tried all the given solutions and still have the following error :
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally.
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
I have a linux/centos7 - I am using ssh putty to connect the serveur.
I have
google-chrome --version
Google Chrome 85.0.4183.102
chromedriver -v
ChromeDriver 85.0.4183.87
Here is my code
#!/usr/bin/python3.6
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
url='https://www.google.com'
option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.add_argument('–-no-sandbox')
option.add_argument('–-headless')
option.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=option)
driver.get(url)
print(driver.page_source)
driver.quit()
I have also tried with
#!/usr/bin/python3.6
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(1024, 768))
display.start()
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
url='https://www.google.com'
driver.get(url)
print(driver.page_source)
driver.quit()
and still have the same error. Through ssh I have tried as root and non-root user but still the same..
As information, when doing
google-chrome --no-sandbox : gives :
[4463:4463:0919/160950.452059:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(1417)] Unable to open X display.

Most likely you need to configure your SUID sandbox correctly

and I add that I had installed google-chrome successfully but I had an error message while installation : "Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start atd.service

I'm trying to get the current page url on my Opera GX browser, but I can't find if there is a way to do it. I thought selenium might work, but when I run my code, it gives me this in the command prompt:
[12252:21468:0914/190450.397:ERROR:CONSOLE(0)] "Unchecked runtime.lastError: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.", source: chrome://startpage/ (0)
The output error in the python IDE is this one:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Opera failed to start: exited normally.
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from opera location C:/Users/remis/AppData/Local/Programs/Opera GX/launcher.exe is no longer running, so OperaDriver is assuming that Opera has crashed.)
(Driver info: operadriver=84.0.4147.89 (19abfe7bcba9318a0b2a6bc6634a67fc834aa592-refs/branch-heads/4147#{#852}),platform=Windows NT 10.0.18363 x86_64)
Here is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.opera.options import Options
import time
options = Options()
options.binary_location = "C:/Users/remis/AppData/Local/Programs/Opera GX/launcher.exe"
driver = webdriver.Opera(executable_path="C:/Users/remis/PycharmProjects/FormationChecker/operadriver_win64/operadriver.exe", options = options)
print(driver.current_url)
time.sleep(1)
I'm very new to selenium and this is just a very simple test. I hope someone can help me with this.
