selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally After searching on stack overflow for answers, people suggested to add screen and displays attributes to make it work. Stack Question

I haven't dig into your code yet, so I'm asking if you've seen this before and if so how did you solve it ? Thanks

Maybe by adding these options 

    options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
    options.add_argument('--headless')
    options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
    options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')

in the following file can solve this issue.

I think running selenium headless can limit some issues on plateforms like Linux.

If you can try this and tell me if it solves your issue, it would be great.

I can make a fix with maybe a "--headless" option in the command line API (or even if you want to submit a PR)
