Not working selenium module on Ubuntu-server

Question

I'm struggling with this error:

(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

while using selenium module on my Ubuntu-server 22.04. The thing is that the same code works fine on my local PC with the same Ubuntu version.

For avoiding trivial questions:

• driver location and binary location are correct
• I use --headless mode
• I have the same versions of google-chrome and chromedriver

Code:

# initial settings for selenium
driver_location = '/usr/bin/chromedriver'
binary_location = '/usr/bin/google-chrome'

options = Options()
options.binary_location = binary_location
options.add_argument('--headless')

service = Service(driver_location)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)

And again, I think I need somehow use the fact that this code works on my local PC. Maybe you guys can advise me what to check...

Answer 1

For people who struggle the same issue, you can try following code, works for me without any problems:

# initial settings for selenium
    driver_location = 'chromedriver_location'
    binary_location = 'google-chrome_location'

    #options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options = Options()
    options.binary_location = binary_location
    options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
    options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
    options.add_argument('--headless')
