getting error when executing the selenium testng tests in jenkins job in centos7.6 VM - selenium

Question

I am able to execute the tests in windows properly, but when I create the jenkins job in centos7.6 VM and the jenkins job console output shows the below error.
This is what I have defined in the code:
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/tmp/chromedriver_linux");
}
driver = new ChromeDriver();
Below is the error:
enter code here Test01(com.training.multi.browser.testing.MultiTests) Time elapsed: 2.164 sec <<< FAILURE!
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally

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

Answer 1

There are a couple of additional steps you need to take in order to make test running in Jenkins on Linux via setting extra ChromeOptions
Make sure to add --headless argument as systems running Jenkins normally don't have GUI
If you're running Jenkins as root user you also need to set --no-sandbox option
Something like:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments(Arrays.asList("--headless", "--no-sandbox"));
options.setBinary("/path/to/chromedriver");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Also make sure that the user has appropriate permissions in order to launch the chromedriver binary, if not - grant them using chmod command like:
chmod +x /tmp/chromedriver_linux

(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
This error is caused when there is incompatibility in version of chrome and chromedriver you are using. Upgrade chrome browser on your centos machine and download the new chrome version compatible chromedriver.
