Chromedriver selenium opens page but closes 2 seconds later (Multiple Error Messages)

Question

I'm currently using chromedriver 2.25 to launch a webpage. Everything is done in python but however, when i run the script, i get the following error below.

my chrome version is chrome 54+ and I'm running windows 7 professional.

I've tried using chromedriver 2.27 but I still get the same error message. Does anyone know why I keep getting this error message :/? Would really apperciate any help here :)

   [0131/143630:ERROR:angle_platform_impl.cc(33)] ANGLE Display::initialize 
   error 4 : Could not create D3D11 device.

   [0131/143630:ERROR:gl_surface_egl.cc(612)] eglInitialize D3D11 failed 
   with error EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED, trying next display type

   [0131/143630:ERROR:angle_platform_impl.cc(33)] ANGLE Display::initialize 
   error 4 : Renderer does not support PS 3.0.aborting!

   [0131/143630:ERROR:gl_surface_egl.cc(612)] eglInitialize D3D9 failed 
   with error EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED

   [0131/143630:ERROR:gl_initializer_win.cc(272)]

   errors during initialization
   [4632:5396:0131/143630:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(113)] 
   Failed to launch GPU process.

This is how I start my driver in python

options = Options()
# options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--incognito')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--log-level=3')
#options.add_argument('--window-position=10000,10000')
chrome_driver = os.getcwd() +"\\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_driver, chrome_options=options)

I am not completely sure, but this seems like an installation issue. Your driver may be out of date. — Sid, Jan 31 '19 at 07:14
@Sid I think chromedriver 2.25 is compatible with chrome version 54 though :/ — Victory Phone, Jan 31 '19 at 07:18

The reason is that you have reached at the end of your program... It's as simple as that.. Try to use time.sleep(100) to wait 100 seconds before terminating your program. Put it at the last line in your script like so:

import time

#----- YOU CODE -----
options = Options()
# options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--incognito')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--log-level=3')
#options.add_argument('--window-position=10000,10000')
chrome_driver = os.getcwd() +"\\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_driver, chrome_options=options)
#...
#...
time.sleep(100) #waits 100 seconds

I do have other codes running at the bottom of the script but it's mainly getting user's input but the script just crashes before that – Victory Phone Jan 31 '19 at 07:52
Try to comment the rest of the code, and try this solution and tell me what happens – Anwarvic Jan 31 '19 at 07:53
The webpage does appear with the same error message, however, it crashes after that – Victory Phone Feb 01 '19 at 02:16
omg thank you for your help, i just noticed there was a little bug with my code after i added the time.sleep. This has helped me solve the issue. Thank you! :) – Victory Phone Feb 01 '19 at 04:51
Gald,I could help – Anwarvic Feb 01 '19 at 09:37
`time.sleep(100)` is not an ideal solution rather covering up the real issue. – undetected Selenium Feb 01 '19 at 16:07
@DebanjanB Actually, you are right, he can use `os.system("pause")` but it only works for windows. He can also use `input()`. – Anwarvic Feb 01 '19 at 19:18

Try adding this argument --use-gl=desktop:

options = Options()
# options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--incognito')
options.add_argument('--use-gl=desktop')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--log-level=3')
#options.add_argument('--window-position=10000,10000')
chrome_driver = os.getcwd() +"\\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_driver, chrome_options=options)

If this does not work update your chromedriver to at least v2.27.

To see the compatibility list of chromedrivers to Chrome Browser see @DebanjanB's answer here.

Hope this helps you!
