Script does't execute on Chrome browser

Hello Team,

Have Windows 10 (64-Bit OS )

Google Chrome v -69.0.3497.81 (Official Build) (64-bit)

The Script runs fine on Firefox, but on Chrome the browser opens but nothing happens.

Error message : Test Cases/AutomationURL FAILED because (of) Unable to open browser with url: ‘’ (Root cause: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn’t exist

Please advice. I am curious to execute the script on Chrome browser so as to give demo to my client.

According to this source: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist. · Issue #46 · heroku/heroku-buildpack-google-chrome · GitHub, so probably the suggested solution is adding --disable-dev-shm-usage settings for Chrome (Project → Settings → Execution → Default → WebUI → Chrome)

I have tried the Option of Proxy to change to use System Proxy, but no success.
It opens the Chrome browser but does not play the script… but same script runs fine on Firefox.

Any luck with resolving this? I am getting the same thing.

Hi Katalon-Team,

Windows 7, Chrome Version 61.0.3163.100 (64-Bit), ChromeDriver 2.43

With Katalon **5.7.1 and 5.8.4 **my Testcases are running OK on Chrome.

But with Katalon 5.8.6 I also recieve the described error. Chrome opens but the following steps are not executed. After a while the following exception is shown:

Please disregard my previous comment.
I’ve noticed that I used in 5.8.6 a wrong (newer) chromedriver. With 2.34 (as in the other versions) everything works as expected.
My hint for Ameet and the others. Please check your Chrome/Chromedriver combination at http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads.
You can replace it in …\configuration\resources\drivers\chromedriver_win32
