[🐛 Bug]: Chrome-Linux64 driver cannot start: chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127

arabellastrange commented 3 months ago

What happened?

I have been using the chrome-linux driver in python + selenium==4.22.0 with this call:

            options = Options()
            options.page_load_strategy = "eager"
            options.add_argument("--headless")
            with webdriver.Chrome(options=options) as dr:
                dr.set_page_load_timeout(timeout)
                .......

and this call:

            options = Options()
            options.page_load_strategy = "eager"
            options.add_argument("--headless")
            options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
            options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")

            options.add_argument("start-maximized")
            options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
            options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
            options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
            options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
            result = ""
            try:
                driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
                driver.set_page_load_timeout(timeout)
                ......
            except selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException:
                traceback.print_exc()
                return .....

Which until, to the best of my knowledge, 23.07.2024 was working well. As of 25.07.2024 however, I am now seeing this error when I try to initialise the driver:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /home/user/.cache/selenium/chromedriver/linux64/127.0.6533.72/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127

The error appears when I try to deploy my app on a server (I've tried a local reverse Nginx proxy (Linux) and HuggingFace spaces (Linux)) but not when I run the code locally on my (Windows) machine.

I've tried to solve this issue by:

Trying to use a Firefox driver
Trying to include chromium and chromedriver-autoinstaller in my requirements
Upgrading to selenium==4.23.0
Manually installing the chrome driver and linking the path (returns a different error (not a valid driver) but doesn't function still)
Using webdriver-manager with ChromeService

So far, I've had no luck. Any ideas what the problem might be?

How can we reproduce the issue?

The huggingface version of this code is available on this repo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/arabellastrange/search-assistant/tree/main. 

Specifically in the file, line 81: https://huggingface.co/spaces/arabellastrange/search-assistant/blob/main/web_search.py

Update on running the code with a manually installed local chromedriver, back to the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/app/web_search.py", line 86, in process_url
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(executable_path='chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver'), options=options)

    super().__init__(
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/chromium/webdriver.py", line 55, in __init__
    self.service.start()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 102, in start

Hi, @arabellastrange. This issue has been determined to require fixes in ChromeDriver.

You can see if the feature is passing in the Web Platform Tests.

If it is something new, please create an issue with the ChromeDriver team. Feel free to comment the issues that you raise back in this issue. Thank you.
