WebDriverException occurs if without sudo option


I'm encountering WebDriverException ever since the chrome version has been updated.
Thing is, the error occurs only when I'm not using sudo option.
I need to run this code in Jupiter notebook (which I can't use sudo option, I guess??)

Can anyone plz let me know the solution?! Thanks ahead...

This is my code below

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# chrome_options = Options()
ua = UserAgent(verify_ssl=False)
userAgent = ua.random

chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
chrome_options.add_argument('disable-gpu')  
chrome_options.add_argument('lang=ko_KR')  
chrome_options.add_argument(f'user-agent={userAgent}')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/home/xx/xxx/xxxx/chromedriver-103',
                      options=chrome_options)

And this is my error message below

Solution

  • Try with the option

    chrome_options.add_argument("--crash-dumps-dir=/tmp")
