(session not created: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)

Hi,

I created a repo using your template and tried to run without any changes to see how it works but I got an error saying:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any idea how to solve this? Did I do something wrong? Or is there a problem with Chrome/Driver version?

Thank you

Probably opened this issue too fast, uncommenting some options helped:

options = [
  # Define window size here
   "--window-size=1200,1200",
    "--ignore-certificate-errors"
 
    "--headless",
    #"--disable-gpu",
    #"--window-size=1920,1200",
    #"--ignore-certificate-errors",
    #"--disable-extensions",
    "--no-sandbox",
    "--disable-dev-shm-usage",
    '--remote-debugging-port=9222'
]

It seems to be working now fine! Can close or delete issue

Thank you for this tool
