Chrome Browser launch and close instantly without running my Test

Robot Framework
1

As I am new to Robot Framework, I have created a new basic robot framework in Visual Studio Macbook Air MACOS Monterey 12.7.6. I have downloaded the chromedriver version and set the path variable. I have chromedriver executable in path /usr/local/bin/chromedriver. and i can see chromedriver version by running chromedriver --version command. But when I run the test, Eventually Browser launch and instantly shut down. I am getting below errors:

InvalidArgumentException: Message: invalid argument
(Session info: chrome=129.0.6668.101)

Hi,

Is your login_tests.robot exactly as pasted?
Because you have this:

Open Browser {URL} ${BROWSER}

URL variable should be ${URL}, and as the error states an invalid argument maybe it’s a clue.

If not and everything is set properly:

  • Does the keyword with Open Browser give same error?
  • Did you try in debug/step by step, and eventually with about:blank as url?
  • Finally what are the versions used (RF, Selenium driver and Seleniumlibrary)?

Regards
Charlie
