WebDriverError: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed. (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)

[lhein]

We are currently facing some errors in our build:

• WebDriverError: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed. (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
• TypeError: Cannot read property 'manage' of undefined

Please see the error ouput below. It does not happen on every build. See also https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/jboss-fuse/vscode-atlasmap?branch=pull%2F514

Could you retry the test suite with vscode 1.50.0 or older? And did you by any chance introduce webpack or gulp recently?

[jrichter1]

I've also added a launch argument to chromedriver that should help in some situations. It might not be enough, but it shouldn't hurt. Feel free to try it out in the new micro version.

No

Can you point to the launch argument and explain where to add it please?

Note that it doesn't happen all the time. It is random.

[jrichter1]

It gets passed to chromedriver by extester, there is nothing for you to do. Just FYI, it's --disable-dev-shm-usage, apparently the most common solution to this problem.

it is still happenning: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/jboss-fuse/vscode-atlasmap/137/workflows/d41ccd15-9161-4bb9-9423-ebcfc3580495/jobs/170

I am also facing the same error but only in WSL environment. In mac, it is working fine. Are there any fixes/workarounds found in the meantime?

[apupier]

up. This issue is still occuring several times per week.

[jrichter1]

As discussed in #52 , it looks like on some CI systems chromedriver will have trouble launching if the binary is located on a sufficiently long path (and they don't need to be all that long for it to happen). It actually looks like a single path segment can make a difference.

Storing the test resources on a shorter path might help you here. There is a flag to specify just that -s path.

[apupier]

in https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-extension-tester/issues/52 , if I understand well, the failure appears all the time, not randomly. The path used seems to be relatively short already: /home/circleci/vscode-atlasmap/test-resources/VSCode-linux-x64/code it sounds like a different problem.

(issue is still happening from time to time, for instance https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/jboss-fuse/vscode-atlasmap/501/workflows/feef7a96-a475-437f-a233-ed1f15ad1a24/jobs/609 )

[jrichter1]

Indeed this is a different issue than #52 . From the info I could find around the internet, the root cause is running chrome(driver) as a root user or using sudo. Even though chromium has two flags that supposedly work around this issue, both are being used by extension tester, and apparently to no success.

Are you by chance running any of the commands using sudo, or as a root user?

[apupier]

I'm sure that it is not using sudo. I do not think that it is the root user. i tis the user provided by the default image of Circle CI.

Repro'd this by passing a relative path argument user-data-dir=./path/to/dir. Using absolute path worked user-data-dir=/abspath/to/dir

[kiwi-bui]

I am also experiencing this issue(tried on v4.3.0 and v5.2.1). Has anybody found a solution?

I am running this in a github action linux runner: extest get-vscode && extest get-chromedriver && extest install-vsix --extensions_dir ./test-resources/extensions --vsix_file ./dist/vscode-extension.vsix && extest install-from-marketplace --extensions_dir ./test-resources/extensions redhat.java vscjava.vscode-java-debug redhat.vscode-yaml && extest run-tests ./out/test/runPackageTests.js

I am getting essentially the same output:

What are you passing this argument to?

Hi, I'm also getting the same issue as the last posted here, any suggestion?
