When opening IntelliJ's Scenebuilder with a browserview in it. I can't run/debug the app because the BrowserContext is locked

I'm getting the

Chromium profile directory is already used/locked by another BrowserContext instance or process

error when I try to debug/run the app after opening the scene builder to edit the fxml in IntelliJ.

Only solution i have is to restart IntelliJ and don't touch the scene builder and the app can be debugged/run.

How to fix?

Solution

  • The The Chromium profile directory is already used/locked by another BrowserContext instance or process error message indicates that you've faced concurrent access to the Chromium data folder. Please take a look at the following article which explains the root cause of this issue and possible ways to resolve it: https://jxbrowser.support.teamdev.com/support/solutions/articles/9000012878-creating-browser

    EDIT____________________________________________

    The error means that 2 browsercore processes are trying to get access to the same user data folder at the same time. You can check it in the Task Manager. In order to get rid of this error, please make sure that there are no browsercore processes running when you launch the Scene Builder.
