WebDriverException: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist while trying to initiate Chrome Browser
I am trying to launch chrome with an URL, the browser launches and it does nothing after that. I am seeing the below error after 1 minute: Unable to open browser with url: 'https://www.google.com' (Root cause: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist (Driver info: chromedriver=2.39.562718 (9a2698cba08cf5a471a29d30c8b3e12becabb0e9),platform=Windows NT 10.0.15063 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) My configuration: Chrome : 66 ChromeBrowser : 2.39.56 P.S everything works fine in Firefox
Update: I am able to get through the issue and now I am able to access the chrome with desired url. Results of trying the provided solutions: I tried all the settings as provided above but I was unable to resolve the issue Explanation regarding the issue: As per my observation DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist is caused when chrome is unable to find its reference in scoped_dirXXXXX folder. Steps taken to solve the issue I have killed all the chrome processes and chrome driver processes. Added the below code to invoke the chrome System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","pathto\\chromedriver.exe"); ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options); driver.get(url); Using the above steps I was able to resolve the issue. Thanks for your answers.
