Selenium Continuous Integration with Team Services - selenium

Question

I have a set of Selenium tests in a test project within my solution, and they run just fine from within Visual Studio. However, when I check in code and they run as part of my continuous integration build profile, they fail.
A brief explanation of the setup:
1) Code is checked into the build agent server.
2) The project is then built, and then deployed to server 2 (which is remote from the build server).
3) Unit tests then run.
Here is an example unit test:
public void Login_InvalidAccessUrl_ShowMesage()
{
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://testsite.company.com/Login");
IWebElement el = driver.FindElementById("invalidAccessUrlSection");
Assert.AreNotEqual(el, null);
}
This runs beautifully from Visual Studio, but when CI runs the same tests, I get the following:
Error Message:
Test method eNotify.Staff.Tests.SeleniumTests.Login_InvalidAccessUrl_ShowMesage threw exception:
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:11570/session timed out after 60 seconds. ---> System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out

Am I missing a driver or some software? As far as I know, there is nothing listening on port 11570.

Answer 1

First, make sure the VSTS agent is running as Interactive process.
Secondly, adding no-sanbox argument to ChromeDrive instance. For example:
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddArguments("no-sandbox");
driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
