I'm trying to install and use Selenium chromedriver on my virtual ubuntu shell, I follow step by step various tutorial but it seems there is still something going wrong ... And after many research on the issue I can't find any answer.
Here is the little code I'm trying to run :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get('https://google.com')
I added the chrome_options thanks to the advice I found on various topic. However I don't really understand why is it necessary?
Unfortunately, my program send me the following error and here I am, stuck and I don't know what to do:
/home/lclis/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ipykernel_launcher.py:7: DeprecationWarning: use options instead of chrome_options

WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/chromium-browser is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
Anyone already had this issue or have any suggestion on it?
A common cause for Chrome to crash during startup is running Chrome as
root
user (administrator
) on Linux. While it is possible to work around this issue by passing--no-sandbox
flag when creating your WebDriver session, such a configuration is unsupported and highly discouraged. You need to configure your environment to run Chrome as a regular user instead.
This first error message...
/home/lclis/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ipykernel_launcher.py:7: DeprecationWarning: use options instead of chrome_options
import sys
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WebDriverException Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 7 driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context ie Chrome Browser session.
As per the Release Notes of Selenium 's python client v3.8.0 chrome_options
is deprecated:
Browser option parameters are now standardized across drivers as
options
.firefox_options
,chrome_options
, andie_options
are now deprecated.
You need to use options
instead of chrome_options
while initializing ChromeDriver/Chrome session. So effectively your code block will be:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver', options=chrome_options)
driver.get('https://google.com')
You can run a selenium crawler on a server (ubuntu with no GUI , no X window available in the box) with this code snippet :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver', options=chrome_options)
driver.get('https://google.com')
I was googling for ruby error, but found this. For some it may be helpful.
I wrongly set capybara session (which relies on selenium on its own)
# WRONG
session = Capybara::Session.new(:selenium_chrome)
# CORRECT, see headless added
session = Capybara::Session.new(:selenium_chrome_headless)
