Clean up

RUN apt-get clean &&
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

running test with edge gives

SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: Microsoft Edge failed to start: exited normally.

105 (session not created: DevToolsActivePort file doesn’t exist)

106 (The process started from msedge location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so msedgedriver is assuming that msedge has crashed.)

running test with chrome gives

SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 114

110Current browser version is 118.0.5993.117 with binary path /usr/bin/google-chrome

running test with gecko gives

WebDriverException: Message: Process unexpectedly closed with status 1

These are fairly old versions. Not sure how SeleniumLibrary v5.1.3 will handle the latest version of Edge. Any reasons for keeping these older versions?

I will use the latest version
And maybe need to update the full test repository then
Could you share a working script to run edge browser in case my existing keyword is not working

Thanks
I will update you

Hi @Ultra,

I don’t see a Display? The browsers (Chrome and Firefox for sure, Edge probably) need a display even when running headless.

A simple way to deal with this docker containers, VM’s, etc is install XVFB, then configure the port it runs on, and use that same port number when configuring your DISPLAY variable.

Hope that helps,

Dave.

Hey… will you please provide me the Dockerfile for msedge that can run smoothly .
I need it

Not mine, but here’s an example → eficode/robotframework-selenium

If you check the docker file for either Chrome or Firefox, you’ll see xvfb is installed as a dependency and run as part of entry_point.sh

Dave.
