CreatePlatformSocket() failed: Address family not supported by protocol and cannot find chrome binary using WebDriverManager in AWS Lambda

Question

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but for some reason it cannot find the chrome binary despite me using WebDriverManager. I put the logs below for reference but it supposedly cannot find the binary (or it cannot download the binary?) I found similar question everywhere but none of the solutions seem to work.

Setup

WebDriverManager.chromedriver()
        .targetPath("/tmp")
        .setup();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments(
        "--no-sandbox",
        "--disable-gpu",
        "--enable-javascript",
        "disable-infobars",
        "--disable-dev-shm-usage",
        "--disable-extensions",
        "--headless",
        "--user-data-dir=/tmp/user-data",
        "--data-path=/tmp/data-path",
        "--homedir=/tmp",
        "--disk-cache-dir=/tmp/cache-dir",
        "window-size=1400,600",
        "log-level=3");
this.driver = (WebDriver) new ChromeDriver(options);
this.driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
this.driver.manage().window().fullscreen();

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new WebBrowser i.e. Chrome Browser session.

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

As you are using:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
    <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
    <version>3.7.1</version>
</dependency>

Presumably this would in-turn download and use the latest chromedriver=78.0
Release Notes of chromedriver=78.0 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 78

Presumably you are using chrome= 78.0.
But your Selenium Client version is 3.10.0 which is almost 2 years older.
Your JDK version is 1.8.0_201 is a bit older.

So there is a clear mismatch between the JDK v8u201 , Selenium Client v3.10.0 , ChromeDriver v78.0 and the Chrome Browser v78.0

Solution

Ensure that:

Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59.
JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u222.
ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v78.0 level.
Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 78.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v78.0 release notes)
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
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.

Outro

CreatePlatformSocket() returned an error: An invalid argument was supplied. (0x2726) when trying to access chromedriver through network path

I can only use selenium 3.14.0 at highest due to issues with it being unzippable in aws if it goes any higher. Would downgrading the web driver manager work? — Meerfall the dewott, Nov 01 '19 at 12:01
@Meerfallthedewott First try with _selenium 3.14.0_, if the issue persists update the question with the observation and try out the second option of _downgrading the web driver manager_ — undetected Selenium, Nov 01 '19 at 12:16
I tried with the latest verison of selenium. It won't zip. I went down the verisons and got 3.14.0 (as expected) to work. Which verison of WebDriverManager would you recommend? — Meerfall the dewott, Nov 01 '19 at 13:01
@Meerfallthedewott With Selenium v3.14.0 the latest version of WebDriverManager should work. Can you give it a try and update me the status please? — undetected Selenium, Nov 01 '19 at 13:12
i've tried with the latest verison and verison 3.1 and 3.4 (webdrivermanager) and its coming up with the same error — Meerfall the dewott, Nov 01 '19 at 13:13
I put the (newer) logs up there as i see a slight variation with the createPlatformSocket error. — Meerfall the dewott, Nov 01 '19 at 13:45
@Meerfallthedewott Did you checkout the discussion mentioned within the _Outro_ section and the links within that discussion? — undetected Selenium, Nov 01 '19 at 13:54
I'm not sure how the outro relates to this error as the sample you took shows it requires two createPlatformSocket errors or a createPlaformSocket error and a IPv4 error. More or less its talking about windows versions. The logs are retrieved from a linex verison (and it works locally on a windows version so that is not the issue). Also I have no control over where the driver is placed. It has to be placed in the "/tmp" file for aws to ensure you can read and write from it. i will try "C://tmp" but i'm absolutely sure it will not work. Is there anything else I can try? — Meerfall the dewott, Nov 01 '19 at 14:02
I got this error from attempting to use C://tmp "errorMessage": "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter 'directory' is not a directory: C:/tmp" — Meerfall the dewott, Nov 01 '19 at 14:09
See CreatePlatformSocket() failed: Address family not supported by protocol (97), it looks like ipv6 is not supported but required for chrome. — nanvel, Nov 09 '20 at 06:20
In my case I had to increase my Lambda function memory to 2048mb, the issue was that it was running out of memory but for some reason that didn't show up in the logs — César Muñoz, Apr 26 '22 at 11:24
