Recently I switched computers and since then I can’t launch chrome with selenium. I’ve also tried Firefox but the browser instance just doesn’t launch.
from selenium import webdriver d = webdriver.Chrome('/home/PycharmProjects/chromedriver') d.get('https://www.google.nl/')
i get the following error:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist) (The process started from chrome location /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.43.600233, platform=Linux 4.15.0-38-generic x86_64)
i have the latest chrome version and chromedriver installed
EDIT: After trying @b0sss solution i am getting the following error.
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed (chrome not reachable) (The process started from chrome location /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome is no longer running, so chromedriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.43.600233 (523efee95e3d68b8719b3a1c83051aa63aa6b10d),platform=Linux 4.15.0-38-generic x86_64)

Answer
Try to download HERE and use this latest chrome driver version:
Try this:
from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options chrome_options = Options() chrome_options.add_argument('--headless') chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox') chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage') d = webdriver.Chrome('/home/<user>/chromedriver',chrome_options=chrome_options) d.get('https://www.google.nl/')
