Chrome Crashes while using Selenium in Python

[Shivani Shinde]

Hi all,

I am new to selenium world. I am facing this issue of chrome crashing within 2 seconds of launch with following error:

Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed.
  (chrome not reachable)
  (The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)


I searched for this issue and found version mismatch is the primary reason. I double-checked it and I have correct versions for Chrome and chromedriver. Weird thing is when I run a standalone selenium script as python3 test.py it executes correctly and chrome does not crash.

But when I run the script from our own python framework, Chrome crashes.

Now, I had run another script 3 months back using same framework and it worked correctly without any such error.

That's why I am confused as to why am I facing such error now. I have tried re-installing framework, Chrome, PyCharm.  I have given +x permissions to chromedriver.

Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

we have the same problem from time to time.

There are 2 problems for us:

1. a server disk is full

Solution: check the dis sizes (where selenium is executed)

2. the selenium script text contains a hidden character

Solution: Somehow try to make clearer the selenium script text

3. Extensions cause a crash

Solution: Check the default/added extensions of chrome

4. Web driver vs. Chrome

Solution: Try to upgrade/downgrade the chrome/chrome driver

5. Finally do an iterative solution

Try, to increase/decrease the code before you start the driver, which code lines cause the crash (eg. first simple open the chrome without any parameters etc.)

I hope it helps a bit

Best Regards
