I am trying to run a headless Chrome browser in a Docker container using a Docker file but is giving crash issue whenever it tries to execute the Automation script using it.

I have tried changing the Chrome driver version to 75 and 76 and gave issue with the Chrome browser version.

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-setuid-sandbox");
chromeOptions.addArguments("disable-infobars");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-extensions");

  • Please add the stack trace to the question. – Boris Oct 23 '19 at 16:13
  • I am currently trying it with Chrome driver version 78.0.3904.11 and it gave me the above error Unable to load browser: 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.) – Anand Oct 23 '19 at 16:15
  • Did you try --disable-gpu? – Arik Oct 23 '19 at 16:17
  • Yes I did and after some research over the internet it turned out that it holds true only in the case of Windows machines, whereas for Docker I am using Linux machine. – Anand Oct 23 '19 at 16:18

  • Do those steps mentioned work for Linux OS as well in a Docker image? – Anand Oct 23 '19 at 16:31
  • Don't know, please try it yourself. – Boris Oct 23 '19 at 16:33
  • It did not work in my case, still seeing the same error. – Anand Oct 23 '19 at 16:35

I used this image from Docker Hub and it is now working for me.

Thank you, all for your valuable inputs, they were helpful.

Use chrome browser 74 and use chromedriver version as 74.0.3729.6. Seems like some issue with latest chrome driver version

  • Okay, but do I add a specific version on Chrome browser as Chrome does not allow doing that. It updates automatically – Anand Oct 24 '19 at 04:07
  • Try to install unstable chrome 74 version. Use below command for installation `apt-get update apt-get install wget wget http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-unstable/google-chrome-unstable_74.0.3729.6-1_amd64.deb apt-get install -f ./google-chrome-unstable_74.0.3729.6-1_amd64.deb` – Harjinder Singh Oct 24 '19 at 08:02
  • It is failing with this error The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get install -f ./google-chrome-unstable_74.0.3729.6-1_amd64.deb' returned a non-zero code: 1 – Anand Oct 24 '19 at 10:23
  • @Anand, use `dpkg -i google-chrome-unstable_74.0.3729.6-1_amd64.deb` to install – Rada Bogdan Nov 20 '19 at 15:22
