selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created from tab crashed using ChromeDriver Chrome Selenium Python

Closed 2 years ago.
I know many similar questions have been asked but not a single answer helped me fix my issue.
I have a very basic selenium program in python which seems to crash when I try and run it headless.
Here is what I have so far.
from selenium import webdriver
import time
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.102 Safari/537.36')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
driver = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver", options=options)
driver.get("https://tinder.com/")
driver.set_window_size(1920, 1080)
time.sleep(0.5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"content\"]/div/div[1]/div/main/div[1]/div/div/header/div[1]/div[2]/div/button").click()
currentWindow = driver.window_handles[0]
time.sleep(1)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="modal-manager"]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[3]/span/div[1]/div/button').click()
time.sleep(1)
newWindow = driver.window_handles[1]
driver.switch_to.window(newWindow)
time.sleep(1)
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[type=email]").send_keys("someemail#mail.com")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"identifierNext\"]/div/button").click()
time.sleep(1)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"password\"]/div[1]/div/div[1]/input").send_keys("somepasswordthatyouhave")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"passwordNext\"]/div/button").click()
driver.switch_to.window(currentWindow)
# driver.save_screenshot("tinderOpen.png")
time.sleep(5)
driver.save_screenshot("crash.png")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"modal-manager\"]/div/div/div/div/div[3]/button[1]").click()
time.sleep(0.5)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"modal-manager\"]/div/div/div/div/div[3]/button[1]").click()
driver.save_screenshot("tinderOpened.png")
Now when I run this in the terminal
I get this beautiful error:

See, I've tried to use no sandbox and I've even tried disabling dev shm but nothing works. I don't know what to do, please help.

I have a problem, every, single, TIME
Basically this is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe"
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--no-default-browser-check")
options.add_argument("--no-first-run")
options.add_argument("--disable-default-apps")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://www.youtube.com/')
and the error is
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created
I used Pycharm and tried to use VS code with python 3.4 and 3.7 and 3.8.3
plz help me I'm getting tired of this.

Your error is not
unable to send message to renderer
as you mentioned. According to the stack trace you posted the problem in the line 6
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path="chromedriver.exe", )
and the problem is:
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created
It seems like you specified an invalid path to the chromedriver and Selenium is unable to initialize the driver and create a session.
You should also check the version of the chromedriver with the guide.
Here you can download the valid version (I have taken your Chrome version from the stacktrace).
yes it did start and then close with the error log above, and also i have the correct version

WebDriverException: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist while trying to initiate Chrome Browser
(44 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I made a python script that scrapes information and clicks a few buttons and it works great on chrome webdriver, but as soon as I try to enter it as headless it does nothing for a few seconds and then gives an error. My code is below.
options = Options()
options.headless = True
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=selenium")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Users\REDACTED\Desktop\REDACTED\browser\chromedriver.exe', options=options)
browser.get('https://REDACTED')
And here's the error

What works for me when I use selenium with chrome is:
you can try options.add_argument('--headless') as your method brings up an error (only for chrome, no error for firefox)
another thing you can try is removing the .exe from your executable_path. When i add .exe i get a the same error you got.
I am trying the following script and can't get it to open Webdriver:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/bin/google-chrome')
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys("pycon")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
driver.close()
This produces the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scraper.py", line 4, in <module>

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 running on Windows 10. Any ideas what this could be?
EDIT:
Now I'm doing this with chromedriver, which I unzipped to the same directory as the script.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='./chromedriver')
I get the following error instead of the previous one:
Traceback (most recent call last):

While working with Selenium v3.11.0, ChromeDriver v2.36 and Chrome v64.x you have to download the latest ChromeDriver from the ChromeDriver - WebDriver for Chrome and place it within your system. Next while initializing the WebDriver and the WebBrowser you have to mention the absolute path of the ChromeDriver as follows :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver')
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys("pycon")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
driver.quit()
Note : At the end of your Test Execution instead of close() invoke the quit() method so the WebDriver and WebBrowser both are destroyed.
You may need to try various versions of the driver depending on version of chrome. Also, make sure your path is correct and pointing to executable driver file(.exe)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='./chromedriver/chromedriver.exe')
Here's my code and the error Python provides.
I'm a beginner using Python 3.6. Can anyone helps find out what's wrong? Many thanks.

You have to take care of a couple of things as follows:
As you are using chromedriver v2.31 the error clearly states Chrome version must be >= 58.0.3029.0. So you need to bump up your Google Chrome version to v58.0 or above.
If you want to specify the absolute path of the chromedriver within single quotes '...' then you have to provide single forward slashes \ only.
If you are assigning the webdriver instance to the driver, you have to use the driver instance only to open any url
Here is your own code with the above mentioned changes:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('http://www.bing.com/')
I'm a beginner in Python and Selenium, and I dont know what is the error in my code or environment...
# encoding: utf-8
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:/Python27/Scripts/chromedriver')
time.sleep(3)
driver.get('https://www.google.com.tw/')
for i in range(10):
driver.execute_script('window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);')
time.sleep(1)
print ("Scrolling...")
driver.close()

Much thanks!
Try to download latest version of chromedriver and put it to C:/Python27/Scripts/ instead of outdated one
you should provide full path of chromedriver.exe, see the following:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:/Python27/Scripts/chromedriver.exe')
