chrome启动失败：macos上docker容器异常退出

Question

On my Mac, I built image with FROM selenium/standalone-chrome-debug:3.4.0-chromium in Dockerfile.

When I run my app in the container, I got:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.29.461571 (8a88bbe0775e2a23afda0ceaf2ef7ee74e822cc5),platform=Linux 4.19.76-linuxkit x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 60.13 seconds
Build info: version: 'unknown', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown'
System info: host: 'a45e0250acbf', ip: '172.17.0.2', os.name: 'Linux', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '4.19.76-linuxkit', java.version: '1.8.0_121'
Driver info: driver.version: ChromeDriver

Image built in Jenkins with same Dockerfile run same application, it has no issue. Both chromedriver=2.29.461571.

I have setup remote debug and want to debug on my macos before I push to Jenkins/linux, but blocked by this chrome failed to start: exited abnormally in container on macos.

Why this happens on my macos but not in Jenkins/Linux and how to fix it?

Answer 1

This error message...

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.29.461571 (8a88bbe0775e2a23afda0ceaf2ef7ee74e822cc5),platform=Linux 4.19.76-linuxkit x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Driver info: driver.version: ChromeDriver

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context ie Chrome Browser session.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

• You are using chromedriver=2.29
• Release Notes of chromedriver=2.29 clearly mentions the following:

Supports Chrome v56-58

• Presumably you are using the latest chrome=85.0
• Release Notes of ChromeDriver v85.0 clearly mentions the following:

Supports Chrome version 85

So there is a clear mismatch between ChromeDriver v2.40 and the Chrome Browser v85.0

Solution

Ensure that:

• JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u252 .
• Selenium is upgraded to current released Version 3.141.59 .
• ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v85.0 level.
• Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 85.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v85.0 release notes )
• If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client .
• Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
• Take a System Reboot .
• Execute your @Test as non-root user.
• Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.
