so today I went to run a program I made in python 3, but it kept crashing when it tried to open chromium. I haven't updated python or the chromedriver.exe so it was strange why it didn't work.
Current version of chrome driver I have installed: 74.0.3729.6
I have tried the following things but it didn't work:
Updating to the latest version of the chrome driver (v77.0.3865.10)
Downgrading to v73 of the chrome driver
Nothing has worked. Could someone please assist me.
I made this test program with just it launching the chrome browser:
main.py
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.create_options()
driver.maximize_window()
crash message:

The version of both Chrome (or Chromium) and Chromedriver must coincide.
As you can see in the error, your current Chromedriver only works with Chromium version 74.
Check the version of you Chromium and install the corresponding version of Chromedriver. To do this you can run the following command in a terminal.
apt-cache policy chromium

I got the problem.
In my opinion, I think it is a communication problem between Geckodriver and Firefox.
But I don't know how to fix it.
Additionally, I already tried using 'pyvirtualdisplay' or 'xvfb'.
But the result is same.
(https://azevedorafaela.com/tag/headless-browser-in-ubuntu/)
I found another way.
I read this post.
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/10813
I think it is a problem when you install Firefox on Ubuntu Snap package manager.
It works on Ubuntu 20.04.
Because Snap is not default package manager on that version.
It could be another solution to remove Snap on Ubuntu 22.04
I originally wanted to get a headless browser running to dynamically parse a web page. I've been having a series of problems with this, even after adding in waits to allow website to load. After commenting out the headless option, I used an xming server as a display for the web page to see what it actually looks like after the browser is created.
Here's a screenshot of what I see:
a new tab in chrome, and the browser seems to never get to the .get().
I also get a popup saying "Chrome Automation Extension has crashed..."
I've been searching a lot, some suggest not running as admin/root, so I didn't use sudo before running it. That didn't change message.
Below is my code and the terminal output:
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')

Only local connections are allowed.
I've seen lots of chrome crashes when there was version mismatch between chromedriver and chrome. Since you're using Chrome version 84.0.4147.105, you should be using nothing but ChromeDriver 84.0.4147.30
Second thing, are you launching the script from an IDE ? if positive that is also another common root cause. Finally I'd stop using XMimg since it adds another variable to the equation. Instead, troubleshoot taking screenshots directly from selenium code regardless you are headless or not.

Selenium: WebDriverException:Chrome failed to start: crashed as google-chrome is no longer running so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed

I'm unable to get chromium to run when i put my code in theoretically it looks like it should work i even followed tutorials but i keep getting the same error message. This is the code that i put:
from selenium import webdriver
#chromedriver varible with exact location to where its saved
chromedriver = "/home/jackmiller/Downloads/chromedriver"
#varible of drive to run open up the chrome driver which is located
#on my machine as chromedriver varible chromedriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
#open this website
driver.get('https://youtube.com')
and when i run the code in terminal this is what it returns:

It's not opening chromium at all
Have you tried: options.add_argument("--remote-debugging-port=9222")
From this bug report: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/6049
A workaround is to specify the remote debugging port as an argument for your ChromeOptions, something like: options.add_argument("--remote-debugging-port=9222"), and if you're running in a container make the driver headless like so options.headless = True, otherwise use something like pyvirtualdisplay for screenshots.
Are you tried make chromedriverfile executable?
sudo chmod a+x chromedriver

Searching for this error, it seems as if its incompatibility in ChromeDriver and Google-Chrome and Selenium however my Selenium version is 3.141.0, my chrome version is 72.0.3626.119 and my ChromeDriver is 2.46.
So they are all latest and they all seem compatible.
Any ideas what wrong?
I've ran into this error on Ubuntu 18.04 and it could be one of several things that's causing Chrome to crash. Try setting these flags:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/local/bin/chromedriver", chrome_options=options)
The --headless flag ensures that Chrome starts in headless mode as I assume you don't have a desktop running on your Ubuntu. the --no-sandbox flag turns off the sandboxing in Linux that sometimes causes problems at the start.
Having a bit of a rough time trying to get a webdriver spawning under Linux.
I'm on CentOS 7.3 I've installed Chrome, Chromium and a host of other python libs. I'm running:
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
thechromedriver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/home/skyscraper/chromedriver', chrome_options=chrome_options)
The alternative with a different path runs fine under Windows so the problem is definitely in my port to Linux.
I've ran:
chmod a+x chromedriver
And it runs under root so it should have access to the chromedriver.
If I spawn it through a threadpool with a timeout it hits that timeout every time. Running it normally it eventually throws an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Skyscrapercomp.py", line 492, in <module>

My takeaway here was "Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally" which doesn't give me a lot to go on.
I've used pip to install the latest Selenium and Yum to install Chromium and Chrome. Feeling a bit dead in the water not sure what my next step is so I'd really appreciate a prod in the right direction.
/Updates:
I checked in /usr/bin google-chrome is there which is the default location it wants.
Also tried putting the chromedriver into /usr/bin and not giving it a location:
TheBrowser = webdriver.Chrome()
TheBrowser.get("http://www.google.com")
print TheBrowser.page_source.encode('utf-8')
But this gives the same error.
Try to use logging to find the problem:
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
service_log_path = 'chromedriver.log'
service_args = ['--verbose']
thechromedriver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/home/skyscraper/chromedriver', chrome_options=chrome_options, service_args=service_args, service_log_path=service_log_path)
In my case there was an error with display (no X11 on my Ubuntu server). This helped me:
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start() # don't forget to .stop() it at the end of program
