ChromeDriver failing w/ Jruby and Elementary (Ubuntu) OS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I opened the following stack overflow to explain this issue 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28052738/cant-connect-to-chrome-webdriver-us
ing-elementary-os-jruby).

Basically I created a new 32 bit vm w/ Elementary and I tried to run webdriver 
but got a variety of errors. I tried to limit the static by using irb instead.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Find an Ubuntu or Elementary server w/ JRuby setup
2. Run IRB
3. Try the following

    require 'watir-webdriver'
    browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome

4.) You should get an error saying that it couldn't connect to the webdriver.

I tried everything I could think of but nothing seems to fix it.

Elementary OS
JRuby: jruby 1.7.18 (1.9.3p551) 2014-12-22 625381c on Java HotSpot(TM) Client 
VM 1.7.0_55-b13 +jit [linux-i386]
Chromedriver: Starting ChromeDriver (v2.9.248316) on port 9515
Chrome: 39

I also tried with chrome driver 2.13.307647 same result

Thanks guys!

I have run following in the past, and it works

require "selenium-webdriver"
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome

 make sure chromedriver and chrome in your system  path

It does and it is in fact the chrome window opens but still fails with this
message. Tried ensuring port was open et al. For the record I think this
might be a big with selenium but they sent it over here.

I confirmed this does not work still. On a fresh VM I installed jRuby. I also 
fully updated Elementary to make sure it wasn't an issue with an old dependency.

jruby -v
jruby 1.7.19 (1.9.3p551) 2015-01-29 20786bd on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server 
VM 1.8.0_40-ea-b02 +jit [linux-amd64]

$ chro<tab>
chromedriver  chroot        

So we know it is on the path

EOFError: End of file reached
    from org/jruby/RubyIO.java:2858:in `read_nonblock'

Also it should also be noted that the chrome window does start and does not 
crash when jruby does.

Sorry also...

irb(main):001:0> require "selenium-webdriver"
=> true
irb(main):002:0> driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError: unable to connect to chromedriver 
http://127.0.0.1:9515

This one does not start an instance of chrome and crashes right away. This is 
compared to what I did the first time which was...

    require 'watir-webdriver'
    browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome

[GoogleCodeExporter]

in command line, can you do   'which chromedriver'?

Original comment by andrewch...@chromium.org on 10 Mar 2015 at 6:46

[GoogleCodeExporter]

$ which chromedriver 
/home/test/bin/chromedriver

chromedriver -v
ChromeDriver 2.14.313457 (3d645c400edf2e2c500566c9aa096063e707c9cf)

Version 40.0.2214.111 (64-bit)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

is /home/test/bin/chromedriver  in your system path?

Original comment by andrewch...@chromium.org on 10 Mar 2015 at 11:24

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yup again the chrome window opens when I run and fails right away so I
don't think the path is the issue.

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 10 Mar 2015 at 11:42

[GoogleCodeExporter]

can you change code to have log

require 'watir-webdriver'
LOG_FILE = 'C:\watir_1054.log'

b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :service_log_path => LOG_FILE

Original comment by andrewch...@chromium.org on 10 Mar 2015 at 11:54

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am on linux so c:\ won't do anything :-P

So I upgraded to the newest jruby and I tried running again but now the window 
won't even open and I keep getting....

    irb(main):004:0> LOG_FILE = '/home/test/watir_1054.log'
    => "/home/test/watir_1054.log"
    irb(main):005:0> b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :service_log_path => LOG_FILE
    Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError: unable to connect to chromedriver http://127.0.0.1:9515

I also don't see anything in that folder in terms of the log file. I confirmed 
writing to the location works with...

File.open('/home/test/test.txt', 'w') { |file| file.write("your text") }

This worked fine

[GoogleCodeExporter]

also because I saw the old post about this....

ls -al bin/chromedriver 
-rwx--x--x 1 test test 4908952 Jan 28 04:09 bin/chromedriver

For # 11,  can you modify whatever the codes you have to include log
since at that point at least you have chromedriver launched 

Original comment by andrewch...@chromium.org on 11 Mar 2015 at 1:59

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yeah this is def in selenium....

    var wd = require('selenium-webdriver');

    var driver = new wd.Builder().
        withCapabilities(wd.Capabilities.chrome()).build();

    driver.get('http://www.google.com')

using the nodejs only problem is I can't use pre-release node because it fails 
to compile. 

Any idea how I push this back to Selenium?

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 11 Mar 2015 at 2:36

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sorry I was trying to say node works great so this must be in the service of 
the rb file. 

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 11 Mar 2015 at 2:38

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sure I can try but I am not the best at ruby and the previous code you
provided does not work like I said previously.

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 11 Mar 2015 at 3:05

[GoogleCodeExporter]

just followed your step in # 1 on Linux(Ubuntu)
no error, and Chrome launched successfully 

irb(main):001:0> require 'watir-webdriver'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
=> #<Watir::Browser:0x7efb2c86e1b2aba2 url="data:," title="data:,">
irb(main):003:0> 

 I have run on both  Window 7 and Ubuntu, and they are all good.

Original comment by andrewch...@chromium.org on 11 Mar 2015 at 11:43

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First of all I am sure windows is working because my 7 server works fine, I am 
sorry for making you think there was a problem with that. 

As for ubuntu what version were you using? I am using Elementary not straight 
Ubuntu and to be honest I haven't tried the latest ubuntu. Was your Ubuntu a 
clean install or an old VM you were using? What does your ruby -v look like?

* sorry jruby -v my ruby doesn't exist because it isn't installed on this box 
(Again I am using jRuby)

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 12 Mar 2015 at 12:01

[GoogleCodeExporter]

yeah unless I install ruby from source I can't even get access to anything 
higher than 1.9.1 which is lower than the 1.9.2 needed for the zip product. I 
would bet you have something preconfigured

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 12 Mar 2015 at 12:19

ruby
The program 'ruby' can be found in the following packages:
 * ruby1.8
 * ruby1.9.1

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 12 Mar 2015 at 12:20

[GoogleCodeExporter]

yeah I installed ruby 1.9.3 and this works fine, however, it doesn't help me 
with my original requirement which is jRuby. We need the java version to be 
able to access h2 data.

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 12 Mar 2015 at 12:41

[GoogleCodeExporter]

as you can see jruby is a little different ruby version but I downloaded the 
newest one....

Notice the 1.9.3 WTF I am looking more into this but it looks like selenium is 
no longer supported on elementary using jruby unless you are using the 
pre-release.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

See again you are using ruby I appreciate your help so please don't take this 
in the wrong way. I am pretty sure this issue is very specific. In other words, 
running on regular ruby (apparently anything after p392) works fine but 
anything pre (including the current version of jruby) does not work

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 12 Mar 2015 at 1:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Not to mention I am pretty sure stock ubuntu doesn't support ruby 1.9.1+ by 
default meaning technically most debian systems are not supported.

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 12 Mar 2015 at 1:16

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Double checked the default with the latest ubuntu is...

1.9.3p484 

Meaning it is > the jruby version so this would work using default ruby on 
ubuntu.

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 12 Mar 2015 at 1:38

[GoogleCodeExporter]

but again I need the jRuby for h2

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 12 Mar 2015 at 1:39

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I don't know jRuby well.
Can you get your problem to solve with right jRuby?

Original comment by andrewch...@chromium.org on 12 Mar 2015 at 1:43

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I did look and it seems like I had an older version of JRuby I tried the newest 
as of today on ubuntu and no luck doesn't work. So pretty sure this is isolated 
to jruby.

Original comment by jackiegl...@gmail.com on 12 Mar 2015 at 2:32

[GoogleCodeExporter]

look like nothing need to be fixed on chromedriver and chrome.
JRuby run Ruby in Java VM may have memory issue 

Original comment by andrewch...@chromium.org on 12 Mar 2015 at 5:26

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please report it to the selenium or jruby bug tracker. I don't have permissions 
to move it back to the selenium tracker.
