Error: Unable to launch Chrome - Version 75.0.3770.100

Our C# selenium tests running on Jenkins are experiencing failures during execution with the latest version of Chrome 75, showing the error message "Chrome failed to start."

After researching various articles, I have added the following code as arguments for Chrome:

chromeOptions.AddArgument("--enable-automation");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--no-sandbox");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-extensions");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-print-preview");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-gpu");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-software-rasterizer");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-gpu-sandbox");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--start-maximized");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-dev-shm-usage");                    
chromeOptions.PageLoadStrategy = PageLoadStrategy.Normal;

This issue only occurs during execution in Jenkins.

Answer №1

My experience with Chrome 76 was encountering this issue. After some troubleshooting, it appears that the solution involves eliminating the --disable-software-rasterizer argument from the equation.
