Unable to open browser

Hello, everyone.
Facing problem while runing test cases from command line on Ubuntu. Using both -browserType=“Chrome” and “Chrome (headless)”.
Google Chrome v72.0.3626.96

P.S. Notice that first test case which is an API call passes successfuly.
P.S. Again, no problems on Windows 10, fails only on Ubuntu.

Here is the command:
sudo ./katalon -noSplash -runMode=console -projectPath="/home/tigran-sargsyan/_ZoomAdmin/za.testing/tests/ZA.App.MachineManager.Katalon/ZA.App.MachineManager.Katalon.prj" -retry=0 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/App_TestSuite" -executionProfile="DEV" -browserType="Chrome (headless)" > reportMachineManager.txt

Here is the log:

Hi @tigran.sargsyan

From this part of the log:

I think this is related to this issue:

In the above post I proposed a solution, could you check to see if it works ?

Hi, @ThanhTo. Thanks for the reply.
Here what I get after the step from the post above.

Hi @tigran.sargsyan

Did you add this line

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/usr/local/bin/chromedriver");

I think the missing of the above line caused this problem:

Also the path to the ChromeDriver is not cross-platform consistent, as quoted in the documentation ( which is also what the exception refers to ):

Please check if you already have ChromeDriver and and modify the path to ChromeDriver in the above line according to your operating system to see if it resolves the issue.

Regards !

hello,

this should remove the issue
add to your com.kms.katalon.core.webui.chrome.properties at least this property
--no-sandbox
C:\KatalonStudio\projectName\settings\internal
{"CHROME_DRIVER":{"args":["--no-sandbox","--disable-infobars"]}}

Thanks for the reply.

Google Chrome is located in /usr/bin, but /usr/local/bin is empty folder.
What you’ll recomend me to do?

Regards.

Hello, @Timo_Kuisma and thanks for the reply.

Here is the content of com.kms.katalon.core.webui.chrome.properties file:

{“CHROME_DRIVER”:{“allow-running-insecure-content”:"",“auto-open-devtools-for-tabs”:"",“args”:[“allow-running-insecure-content”,“zz_auto-open-devtools-for-tabs”,“disable-infobars”,“start-maximized”]}}

You mean to change that to this?

{“CHROME_DRIVER”:{“allow-running-insecure-content”:"",“auto-open-devtools-for-tabs”:"",“args”:[“allow-running-insecure-content”,“zz_auto-open-devtools-for-tabs”,“disable-infobars”,“start-maximized”,“no-sandbox”]}}

hi,

this is needed 
--no-sandbox
did it work without hyphens?

Both this:

{“CHROME_DRIVER”:{“allow-running-insecure-content”:"",“auto-open-devtools-for-tabs”:"",“args”:[“allow-running-insecure-content”,“zz_auto-open-devtools-for-tabs”,“disable-infobars”,“start-maximized”, “--no-sandbox” ]}}

and this:

{“CHROME_DRIVER”:{“allow-running-insecure-content”:"",“auto-open-devtools-for-tabs”:"",“args”:[“allow-running-insecure-content”,“zz_auto-open-devtools-for-tabs”,“disable-infobars”,“start-maximized”, “no-sandbox” ]}}

haven’t worked.

I want to mention again, that same projects run perfectly on Windows 10, but fail on Ubuntu. At the same time, Katalon GET/POST API calls also work correctly on Ubuntu, the problem is only with opening browser.

hyphen should be in all properties

check here
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
try first with these properties only
{"CHROME_DRIVER":{"args":["--no-sandbox","--disable-infobars"]}}

same result for

hi,

sorry my eyes, add properties here as you are running headless
com.kms.katalon.core.webui.chrome (headless).properties
{"HEADLESS_DRIVER”:{“args”:["–no-sandbox","–disable-infobars"]}}

you can download new chrome driver and use it instead of default

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\xxxx\\Desktop\\driver\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
DriverFactory.changeWebDriver(driver)
WebUI.openBrowser('')
WebUI.navigateToUrl('http://www.google.com')
WebUI.closeBrowser()

this file com.kms.katalon.core.webui.chrome (headless).properties doesn’t exist, but when I create it and pass your args still I get failings

hi,

did you tried with another chrome driver?

Hi.

Sorry for late response.
I have downloaded Chrome Driver.
Added this lines to code:

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”, “/home/tigran-sargsyan/_ZoomAdmin/za.testing/tests/chromedriver”);
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
DriverFactory.changeWebDriver(driver)

Still get this error:

I have the same problem

Were you using Chrome from Google or Chromium?

I once got a similar issue and solved it by giving more right to the user on the very folder containing the chrome-driver… Unexpected.

Chrome from Google.

@Boris_Faitout where how to find default chrome-driver path on linux? I have also tried to download manualy and adding it’s path in script, but failed
