WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist

Robot Framework

Hello,

I have a big problem.
I run my automation tests on docker contener and since I update my RF (3.2.2 to 4.1.3), I have an error message :
WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist

I tried to have some response on Internet and tried many solutions but nothings happened.

Here is my configuration :

${chrome_options}=    Evaluate    sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()    sys, selenium.webdriver

    Set Global Variable    ${chrome_options}

    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    --disable-extensions

    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    --disable-dev-shm-usage

    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    --headless

    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    --disable-gpu

    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    --no-sandbox

    Create Webdriver    Chrome    chrome_options=${chrome_options}

    Set Window Size    1920    1080

For information :

  • RF 4.1.3
  • Python 3.9
  • Chrome (version 100) with the corresponding chromedriver

After many research, I have found the issue : the keyword “Open Browser” is not accepted anymore (I don’t know why".
So :

  • First, I have created a webdriver instance
  • I have also deactivated some called method (ldisable-extensions, disable dev shm, disable gpu)
  • Then I use the “Go to” keyword

And all is fine.
