We have selenium tests in C# running on jenkins. With the latest version of Chrome 75 the tests are starting to fail during execution with the error "Chrome failed to start"

I went through some articles and have implemented the below code as part of my arguments for Chrome.

chromeOptions.AddArgument("--enable-automation");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--no-sandbox");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-extensions");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-print-preview");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-gpu");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-software-rasterizer");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-gpu-sandbox");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--start-maximized");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-dev-shm-usage");                    
chromeOptions.PageLoadStrategy = PageLoadStrategy.Normal;

This happens during jenkins execution only.

  • Not familiar with Jenkins, but I would check the path to chrome and check to be sure chrome has been run at least once. (it sets up certain files/folders on first run...) – pcalkins Jul 12 '19 at 18:57

I'm seeing this on Chrome 76. The solution seems to be to remove the --disable-software-rasterizer argument.
