Selenium issue with Chrome Browser - unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist

[Suma latha]

Hi All,

 

I am facing  the below issue when trying with chrome browser, tried many different options but didn’t work.

 

Please scroll below for  stack trace.

 

Error:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed.

  (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)

  (The process started from chrome location C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Build info: version: '3.141.59', revision: 'e82be7d358', time: '2018-11-14T08:25:48'

System info: host: 'BLRWX11704', ip: '10.31.70.202', os.name: 'Windows 10', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '10.0', java.version: '1.8.0_151'

Driver info: driver.version: ChromeDriver

 

Please suggest how to resolve this.

 

 

Please find below details

 

Here is the details on the issue I am facing .

 

OS – Windows 10

Java – 64 bit JDK 1.8.0_241 and JRE 1.8.0_241

Eclipse Photon IDE
selenium – 3.141.59

Chrome Browser Version - 81.0.4044.113 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chrome Driver Version - 81.0.4044.69

 

Below are the different steps tried, for resolving the issue, but no luck.

 

Step1 :

re-installing chrome , clearing all chrome data from my PC,and re mapping all the selenium jar files

 

Step2:

copy chromediver.exe in source folder, so that we no need to give path

 

Step3:

Add chromedriver.exe and chrome.exe path in System path variables under environment variable

 

Step4:

Tried of  couple of Chrome options like adding chrome browser binary path ,useautomationExtension  in script code as below

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.setBinary("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");

options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

 

Step5:

Checked with Internal network/ firewall team in the office, to check if there is any firewall related issue. They confirmed that no firewall issues, as the scripts are  working fine with IE browser.

 

 

Please do let me know, if you need any more details

 

 

Here is the selenium script I am trying

 

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

 

public class Test1 {

 

              public static void main(String[] args) {

                             // TODO Auto-generated method stub

 

                             System.out.println("hi world");

                              System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", " path to\ chromedriver.exe");

                             ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

                             options.setBinary("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");

                             options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);

                             WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

                             driver.get("https://www.google.com");

                            

              }

 

Here is the error stack trace:

I understood that the issue is with the same code and versions it works fine in some instance and in some it doesn't work.

What else might be wrong?

Hi,

This worked for me.

               ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.addArguments("--headless");

options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");

options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");

URL url = new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub");

RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(url,options);

driver.get("http://google.com");

System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

[nitish]

The solution mentioned by you is not working for me on macOS and I am getting the same error as others.

When I am initiating the chrome browser on my local machine instead of RemoteWebDriver, it works for me using the following -

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
