Error starting chromedriver: /usr/local/bin/chromedriver: Syntax error: ")"

[Galina Sokolova]

I am installing chrome and chromedriver for selenium test automation running in docker container in headless mode.

Dockerfile:

# Install Chrome

RUN apt-get update && \

        apt-get upgrade -y && \

        wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

RUN dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb; apt-get -fy install

# Install chromedriver for Selenium

RUN curl https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.38/chromedriver_linux64.zip -o /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

Code to start chrome via automated test:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverPath);

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();

chromeOptions.setBinary(chromeDriverPath);

chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless");

Webdriver dr = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

Error I am getting:

2018-10-23 00:19:46.174:INFO::main: Logging initialized @516ms to org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.StdErrLog

/usr/local/bin/chromedriver: 1: /usr/local/bin/chromedriver: Syntax error: ")" unexpected

Timed out waiting for driver server to start. 

I would appreciate your help/suggesting on how to fix ity.

Thanks.

This problem was reported some time agon and problably already solved.

Nevertheless I will report for future readers that I had the same problem, but found that I used the wrong chromedriver version.  I used the Mac  version on Ubuntu.

When I downloaded the Linux version, the problem was solved.

Regards,

Walter.
