Unable to launch more than one chrome browser instance at the same time on Windows #977

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Issue Description:
ChromeDriver fails to launch the browser when there is an already running 
instance. If more than one instance of ChromeDriver is created at the same 
time, only one of them succeeds, and the others appear as tabs (with data:;) in 
the same browser session, and chromedriver throws 
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: 
crashed

ChromeDriver.Log shows "RESPONSE InitSession unknown error: Chrome failed to 
start: crashed"

This was working fine until v37 of Chrome.

Steps to reproduce
Platform: Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1
ChromeDriver: 2.12
Chrome: 39.0.2171.65
WebDriver: 2.44.0

This can be reproduced in either of the following ways:
1. Setup a selenium grid, and using parallel threads create RemoteWebDriver 
sessions, and try to load a URL in the browser. This can be easily done using 
TestNG, by using is parallel tests.
2. Use ChromeDriver directly - Create a simple test for instantiating 
ChromeDriver, and loading an URL. Run two instance of this test simultaneously. 

Both the scenarios are working fine for the same Driver/Browser configurtion on 
Ubuntu. Both the scenarios were working fine on Windows until V37.0.2062.102

Things started breaking badly with v38 of Chrome, and still continues even 
after v39.

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar -role hub

Which version of Windows did you try this exercise on?
I pretty much did the same exercise on Windows 2008, but through a hub than 
standalone executions.
Again, the original issue we are still facing is that our test jobs running 
through Jenkins affect each other as each of them try to instantiate individual 
instances of Chrome driver without using a hub.

1. on window 7
2. can you  try following set up

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar -role node 
-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=\path\to\chromedriver.exe  -hub 
http://localhost:4444/grid/register  -port 5556

  don't have problem run on window 7 and Linux

I did try the exercise on Windows 7, and it works perfectly fine as it did for 
you. It works fine on Ubuntu as well.
However, it breaks on Windows 2008 Server, and the problem is consistently 
reproduceable. Is it possible for you to try the same exercise on a Windows 
2008 Server?

Our test execution environment which is hosted on cloud runs on a Microsoft 
Windows 2008 R2 SP1, and this scenario was working perfectly alright until v37 
of Chrome. Once the auto-update switched the browser to v38, things started 
breaking.

It would be quite appreciated if you can help resolving the issue.

I ran it, and saw an error pop up saying "Could not load extension from 
'C:\Windows\TEMP\scoped_dir7068_19486\internal'. Manifest file is missing or 
unreadable."
The browser was launched after I clicked on the OK button of the error dialog.

Do you mean in the code which launches the webdriver or in the command you 
provided earlier?
If you mean the code change, how do i do it using an instance of ChromeOptions?

Original comment by maddyro...@gmail.com on 25 Nov 2014 at 7:28

I mean remove load-extension from ChromeOptions for now.
then,  test your software as usual.

Got it. As far as I see, ChromeOptions supports adding/enabling arguments. How 
do I disable/remove an argument using ChromeOptions?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
ok,  that is build-in, ans can not disable/remove.
Once we got a Windows 2008 Server, will test on it.
in the mean time, what do you see on
--load-extension="C:\Windows\TEMP\scoped_dir7068_19486\internal
if it still available.

I could not find any coredumps. However, I was able to collect the temp 
directories created during the test run. My test code tries to launch 5 browser 
instances in parallel, and I could see 10 temp directories getting created. 2 
directories are created per browser instance - 1. load-extension 2. temporary 
browser profile.

Let me know if you would like to take a look at these directories.

To expedite things, would you have time to have a shared session or debug the 
scenario in a test setup on a Windows 2008 server from our end?

 let's do multiple trouble shootings

 1. can you set the registry values 
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\chromedriver.exe

 2. remove all scoped_dir_xxxx in temp dir

 3. test not more than two instances

 4. after crash, zip the whole dir and email to me - all of them

--load-extension="C:\Windows\TEMP\scoped_dir7068_19486\internal

I got this fixed using a slightly different approach though. Though the issue 
was local to my setup, I found it as a defect on the way ChromeDriver treats 
the default user profiles.

Hi Andrew, 

What details would you exactly need? 

Some that I could think of is listed below::
- I am using Chrome Version 41.0.2272.76 m
- Tried using even latest ChromeDriver & Selenium Standalone jar -- but still 
face the same issue.
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Simple code that I am trying:
          WebDriver driver1 = new ChromeDriver();              
          driver1.get("http://www.google.com");
          Thread.sleep(3000);

          WebDriver driver2 = new ChromeDriver(); 
          driver2.get("http://www.google.com");
          Thread.sleep(3000);

          driver1.quit();
          driver2.quit();
   ** With this code, google launches in first tab of Chrome -- but for the second one it doesnt load the page. Just gets stuck with: data:; in the address bar.

   ** I tried using a Chrome Extension named -- New Tab, New Windows --> that opens new tab in new window. But still see the same issue. When the 2nd driver is launched it shows same data:; error.

The same code used to work on my machine couple of months back. Not sure what 
has changed recently.

Please suggest asap how to fix it. Totally stuck with the issue. Thanks!

Shruti,

Could you please check your current profile path of Chrome? You can get this 
information by typing chrome://version on your regular browser instance (not 
through webdriver), and looking for the field "Profile Path". 

This would typically be set to something like 
"C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default". This 
somehow got changed to "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\39.0.2171.95\${users}\Administrator\Chrome" in 
my case, and I had to reset this to the normal one by clearing some registry 
settings.

Perhaps, this solution might work for you as well.

Original comment by maddyro...@gmail.com on 9 Mar 2015 at 7:07

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
My profile was also wrong like yours. So I changed the Registry userdata value. 
Now in Chrome Browser it shows like:
Profile Path    C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User 
Data\Default\Default

Still it does not work. Pls suggest how to proceed?

Original comment by shrutiuj...@gmail.com on 10 Mar 2015 at 6:46

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
you have ........e\User Data\Default\Default
double Default - not correct.
check you environment variable - LOCALAPPDATA=
what is it?

Original comment by andrewch...@chromium.org on 10 Mar 2015 at 6:26

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
My mistake in typing. The Registry entry is set correctly::
UserDataDir=C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

When I look at the environment variable, it says:
LOCALAPPDATA=C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\AppData\Local

Let me know what to do now.
