Selenium and Linux: Chrome failed to start: exited normally.

[Stefano Vercesi]

Hello everyone, I have a selenium script on a Linux (Debian 12) server.

The script works fine locally, but has some problem when trying to execute it on the server...this is the error message:

```
/home/scraper/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/error.js:521
    let err = new ctor(data.message)
              ^

SessionNotCreatedError: session not created: Chrome failed to start: exited normally.
  (session not created: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
```

This is how the scraper lunch chrome:

```
const { Builder, By } = require("selenium-webdriver");

  const driver = new Builder().forBrowser("chrome").build();
  const url = ""
  await driver.get(url)
```

What am I missing? I have installed google-chrome-stable on the server as well..!

Hii Stefano,

Usually this error occurs when driver and chrome version are different.

It is advised to update browser version

Thanks and regards,
