How to call chrome by bamboo with selenium web driver?

Question

Hi,

I'm using Bamboo to trigger the automation test execution but get a Chrome failed to start error:

error_message": "unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.) (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)
#0 0x7f3030ace959 <unknown>

But the same command (below) can be executed successfully from Konsole window:

cucumber BROWSER=chrome MODE=local --tags=@test

The automation framework is cucumber+selenium+ruby

Linux version 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64

Chrome version is the latest 77.0.3865.40

Chrome driver version(not sure but get it by the official suggestion which is from https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=77.0.3865.40/)

Could anybody kindly help please?

Thanks very much indeed.

Best Regards,

Ivy

Hi Dan,

Where do we add this below code to run as non headless mode ?

args= %w[--headless --no-sandbox]
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, args: args

Hi guys,

I was having the same issue with Cucumber - Selenium - Ruby when we made the switch from Jenkins to Bamboo. I managed to fix it by doing the following:

args= %w[--headless --no-sandbox]
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, args: args

I'm pretty sure you could remove the --headless param and the solution will still work. It seems the --no-sandbox is the essential one to fix it.

Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks,

Dan
