Chrome failed to start: crashed. (chrome not reachable)

[jhnyc]

I've tested both images 3.8-selenium and 3.9-selenium using the configurations in the test_script.py:

from selenium import webdriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
chrome_options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

Both throw this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 76, in __init__

  (The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

In my case, I was using an M1 Mac.
I used the arm-only docker and it worked fine. selenium/standalone-chrome

[hassanshaikley]

Running into this issue as well with an M1 Mac.

When I try to use selenium/standalone-chrome I get Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH.

@jhnyc @AsheKR have you able to solve it?
I'm trying to run chromium-browser inside linux/amd64 built docker container on my m1 mac, having this:

/ # chromium-browser --no-sandbox --headless --disable-dev-shm-usage --disable-gpu --window-size=1920,1080 "https://example.com/"

I found another function, this same as selenium.
and can running on Apple Silicon and Docker.

[yamaszone]

Has anyone figured out the fix yet? I can reproduce this on Apple Silicon M1 based Docker. Works fine on Intel based macOS.

No answer fit in WHOLE internet for me. My case - tasting with pytset silenium, chrome browser shows error in topic and nothing helps. Solution is funny af... Open DEFAULT STANDARTY Chrome Browser window and now start your .py file and all works correctly :)
I hate this shish
