Failed to create session. unknown error: Chrome failed to start: was killed. (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist) - node.js

Question

I'm executing an automated test with Electron by using Selenium by using the following code:
const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var Application = require('spectron').Application;
var assert = require('assert');
const driver = new webdriver.Builder()
// The "9515" is the port opened by chrome driver.
.usingServer('http://localhost:9515')
.withCapabilities({
'goog:chromeOptions': {
// Here is the path to your Electron binary.
binary: 'C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe',
},
})
.forBrowser('electron') // note: use .forBrowser('electron') for selenium-webdriver <= 3.6.0
.build();
describe('Application launch', function () {
var app;
jest.setTimeout(30000);
beforeEach(function () {
app = new Application({
path: 'node_modules/.bin/electron',
args: ['--headless', '--no-sandbox', '--disable-dev-shm-usage'],
});
return app.start();
});
afterEach(function () {
if (app && app.isRunning()) {
return app.stop();
}
});
it('click a button', function* () {
yield driver.sleep(5000);
});
});
But I'm obtaining the following error:
yarn run v1.22.19

I've tried to add even the args suggested by several answers in other stackoverflow questions like --headless or --no-sandbox but even those not worked.

Try this file
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox");
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--disable-setuid-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--remote-debugging-port=9222") # this
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
#options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
options.add_argument("enable-automation")
options.add_argument("--disable-infos")
options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
element_text = driver.page_source
print(element_text)
