Unspecified Protractor error at the end of a test run - selenium

I have upgraded to Protractor 6.0.0 and Jasmine 3.3.1, and had to redo all my tests to run asynchronously.
When my Protractor test finishes running, I have an unexplained error at the end. No tests fail, but the process seems to abort irregularly. I am running against Chrome 73 in the latest webdriver, where I had to specifically downgrade to Chrome 73 webdriver because 74 is still in Beta.
Here is a snapshot of a test run:

There is no additional error message, the only other SO post I found that had the same error message also had an additional promise rejected error afterwards.
How can I debug / troubleshoot what is causing this error?

I figured it out - there were some calls to browser.wait that did not have an await before them.
One of these was causing a synchronization error which led to that unspecified state management error at the end of the test run.
For anyone else experiencing WebDriver state errors after you upgrade from the control flow to the async flow - be sure to put await calls in front of all Protractor browser interaction calls. The one I had missed was browser.wait but it could be any other call to Protractor that causes this issue

Mocha, Electron: Errors in testing

I was testing my electron app with mocha and got this error several times (and I'm still getting it!). Every time I run the program it returns with the error

(The process started from chrome location \node_modules\spectron\lib\launcher.bat is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is

Just in case this is important, the part which says (The process started from chrome location \node_modules... actually had the whole path, not just that.
In my test.js file I have the code from the spectron home page, which you can view here. What is wrong with the test files?

protractor cannot find environments/environment

I am running my spec from IntelliJ by clicking on the green triangle in the left gutter. It seems it starts protractor. My test cases don't run unfortunately. The Chrome window opens for a moment only. I see the following error on the IntelliJ screen

Why protractor can't find the file?
The tests work fine if I use ng test --source-map=false. The issue arises when I use protractor. Even though I am using protractor, I am not running e-2-e tests.

Microsoft Edge not visiting URL when being run by Protractor script

I am building a set of Protractor scripts to evaluate the performance of a web app.
A month ago, the tests were running in both Edge and Chrome. I stepped away from the project for two weeks, and performed a Windows OS update on my return. Since then, when running the test in Microsoft Edge, I get alternating results between 1) an unknown error where the browser never even launches (I will post the cmd output from this result below), and 2) having the Edge browser open but not visiting the base URL it is supposed to (where I am getting a timeout error after being on the Edge homescreen for 10 seconds). I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to run the script before the Windows update, so I am not certain if that is the cause, but I think it is likely. The tests continue to run correctly when operating in Chrome.
I have tried reinstalling Edge's webdriver several times and have chekced its path. I would like to roll back Windows but think this would be a hassle with our IT department, so I am wondering if anyone has found a different solution to this problem?
This is the error when the browser fails to open:

I wound up pushing Windows to version 1703 (Build 15063.540), which was easier to get approved than rolling back.
After reinstalling the appropriate WebDriver, everything is working properly with Edge. Still unclear what was causing the problem, but this seems to have worked around it.
I'm the PM for WebDriver at Microsoft. It sounds like you need to get the proper version for your build of Windows.
You can find all the releases of WebDriver here. To see what build of Windows you have just hit [Windows Key] + [R] and type "winver".

WebDriverError: no such session error using ChromeDriver Chrome through Selenium and Jasmine

I'm trying to make an automated test for my webpage and I'm using Jasmine in tandem with selenium.
When testing on chrome (using chromedriver) I get, unpredictably, the error below. It happens frequently enough that when I run a test suite it hardly ever finishes.
Ive found evidence of this bug but cant find a solid answer: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=732 (granted this was for chromium and I'm using chrome)

We've also been struggling with this issue for a long time now and recently resolved it so thought I would post here incase it helps someone else.
Turns out for us it was memory related. We run our tests inside a docker container and the docker default dev/shm size is 64mb. Increasing this resolved the "no such session" issue for us.
We use docker compose so just added shm_size: 256M to the docker-compose.yml file.
I recently encountered this exception too. It first appeared to be undeterministic too, but after thorough investigation I realized that it happens deterministrically if you call ChromeDriver.Close() and then tries to FindElement.
In my case, ChromeDriver.Close() was called in an exception handler of a previous test, which happened due to a timing issue. This only affected the next test so it added to the feeling that this issue is flaky. But as I said, my investigation revealed that it is deterministic.
Having said that, this is my experience with that error. Could be that your case is different...
This error message...
WebDriverError: no such session
(Driver info: chromedriver=a.b.c (36d3d07f660ff2bc1bf28a75d1cdabed0983e7c4),platform=Mac OS X 10.11.5 x86_64)
...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to communicate with the existing Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.
We have discussed and analyzed this issue within the discussion Issue 732: No such session error - inconsistent problem which appears when running tests for a prolonged period. This error is usually observed after an extended period of executing the Test Suite as follows:
[0127/105308:ERROR:nacl_helper_linux.cc(289)] NaCl helper process running without a sandbox!
Most likely you need to configure your SUID sandbox correctly
[489.849][INFO]: RESPONSE FindElements unknown error: session deleted because of page crash

(Session info: chrome=p.q.r.s)
[489.849][DEBUG]: Log type 'driver' lost 0 entries on destruction
[489.849][DEBUG]: Log type 'browser' lost 9 entries on destruction
This error is defined in nacl_helper_linux.cc as follows:
// If the Zygote has started handling requests, we should be sandboxed via
// the setuid sandbox.
if (!IsSandboxed()) {
LOG(ERROR) << "NaCl helper process running without a sandbox!\n"
<< "Most likely you need to configure your SUID sandbox "
<< "correctly";
Precisely the FindElement(s) method have FAILED due to sandbox issue and Page Crash occured due to session deletion
Solution
This error can happen due to a lot of diverse reasons and the solution to address this error are as follows:
Initiate the Chrome session configuring ChromeDriver with the argument --disable-impl-side-painting
Additionally, you can also add the argument --enable-gpu-rasterization which allow heuristics to determine when a layer tile should be drawn with the Skia GPU backend. Only valid with GPU accelerated compositing + impl-side painting.
As an option, you can also add the argument --force-gpu-rasterization which always uses the Skia GPU backend for drawing layer tiles. Only valid with GPU accelerated compositing + impl-side painting. Overrides the kEnableGpuRasterization flag.
This error is also observed when the server does not recognize the unique session identifier. This happens if the session has been deleted or if the session ID is invalid in either of the following ways:
Explicit session deletion: A WebDriver session is explicitly deleted when explicitly invoking the quit() method as follows:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import InvalidSessionIdException
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
print("Current session is {}".format(driver.session_id))
driver.quit()
try:
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
except Exception as e:
print(e.message)
#Console Output:
Current session is a9272550-c4e5-450f-883d-553d337eed48
No active session with ID a9272550-c4e5-450f-883d-553d337eed48
Implicit session deletion: A WebDriver session is implicitly deleted when you close the last window or tab invoking close() method as follows:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
print("Current session is {}".format(driver.session_id))
# closes current window/tab
driver.close()
try:
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
except Exception as e:
print(e.message)
#Console Output:
Current session is a9272550-c4e5-450f-883d-553d337eed48
No active session with ID a9272550-c4e5-450f-883d-553d337eed48
You may also have to add the argument --no-sandbox
Chrome seem to crash often in Docker containers on certain pages due to too small /dev/shm. Similarly, you may have to fix the small /dev/shm size.
An example:
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=512M tmpfs /dev/shm
It also works if you use -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm option to share host /dev/shm
Another way to make it work would be to add the chrome_options as --disable-dev-shm-usage. This will force Chrome to use the /tmp directory instead. This may slow down the execution though since disk will be used instead of memory.
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
Reference
You can find a couple of detailed discussions in:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: invalid session id using Selenium with ChromeDriver and Chrome through Python
unknown error: session deleted because of page crash from unknown error: cannot determine loading status from tab crashed with ChromeDriver Selenium
org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: session not created exception from tab crashed error when executing from Jenkins CI server
Sometimes we just expect any problem to be very complex and are looking for its cause far too deep, when a problem could be so obvious.
I was seeing this issue when I explicitly called browser.close() as an exception handler in my logout() method. It terminated the session and all of the following protractor tests were throwing this error.
Once I removed browser.close() and just threw an error instead, the problem was solved.

Can I set a longer timeout for protractor to connect to selenium driver?

Running my protractor tests remotely (jenkins) leads to timeout error sometimes. That is not deterministic.

However when I run the tests locally in my mac there is no problem and the tests run perfectly.
I have tried to start the selenium servers manually in the remote machines and I have realised that sometimes it works immediately and sometimes I have to wait up to one minute.
My question is: Is there any way to tell protractor to wait longer for the webdriver to connect?
Environment details
Machine: Red Hat 4.4.7-11
Protractor version: 1.8.0
Selenium Server Standalone: 2.45.0
You can specify it by using driver.wait function.
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var protractor = require('protractor');
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().usingServer("seleniumAddress").build();
var browser = protractor.wrapDriver(driver);
browser.driver.wait(driver.getWindowHandle(), 5000, 'Server should start within 5 seconds');
References :
http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api?view=webdriver.WebDriver.prototype.wait
http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api?view=webdriver.WebDriver.prototype.getWindowHandle
Yes, and it should solve your issue. Use the seleniumServerStartTimeout option in your protractor.conf.js file to bump up the timeout from the default 30 seconds to something longer like 90 seconds:
exports.config = {
seleniumServerStartTimeout: 90000
};
I experienced the same issue on a CentOS 7 VM. For whatever reason the selenium server seems to take wildly different amounts of time to start up each time, and can sometimes exceed the default timeout.
