Selenium-IDE 4 on MacOS: Unable to startup due to chromedriver error: #1814

Closed vonlaughing closed 5 months ago

vonlaughing commented 5 months ago

I'm running on a MacOS and downloaded 4.0.1-beta.5 (Selenium-IDE-4.0.1-beta.5.dmg specifically) but is unable to open it.

It is giving me this error.

Previously I installed the webextension from here https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/selenium-ide/mooikfkahbdckldjjndioackbalphokd I deleted the extension but the problem still persists.

I was wondering if anyone have any idea what the problem is? Much appreciated!

Yes, sorry, there is an issue in beta.5 🤦, beta.4 is functional.

Thank you for helping me! I downloaded beta.4 but unfortunately the problem still exists :( .

@vonlaughing - Thank you for reporting. A fix is going out for this in five or so minutes, and then a new version will be live in 30. I'm sorry, this was a goofy mistake on my part. Basically, the logging api called the logging api, which kinda repeated until it all crashed. That won't happen anymore. Thank you for your patience.

Eh, taking a bit to clear CI, but I promise clean version coming up

Thank you!!

@vonlaughing - It's in review here: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium-ide/pull/1816

Basically, we're looking at adding Chinese localization alongside the fixes. Thanks again for reporting!

@vonlaughing - Sorry to take a long time to respond, took a weekend away. Can you try restarting your computer and seeing if it works? If so, I will start working on a feature so that the app recovers more gracefully. Basically, if a chromedriver server is already running, we currently crash. It can lead to bad crashes causing more bad crashes because a rogue chromedriver process is blocking a port. Restarting your computer could kill those bad processes. If that fixes it, I will work on a fix to ask about killing any servers on startup if a collision is encountered.

Thank you!!!!! Restarting the computer did it!

However after running chrome the same error occurred, even if I kill the chrome process. Currently I can only run the app right after restarting my computer. Thank you for your help!!

@vonlaughing - Okay, not ideal but perfect that we know the cause. I'll start working on a system to kill running chromedriver processes on startup so that won't be necessary in the future.
