Siesta Webdriver cannot start chrome on ubuntu docker

Have been trying to find if anyone else has had the same issue, but have had no luck so far.
I'm running unittests in a docker container using a ubuntu image.
Siesta 5.5.1 is installed and seems to be running.

Trying to run tests gives this result:

2021-04-13_15-50-00.png
2021-04-13_15-50-00.png (14.32 KiB) Viewed 2846 times

That is, running:

root@5f633c56c5e8:/home/pp/wellcom-mono/ProjectPlannerUI# ../sdk/siesta/bin/webdriver localhost/tests/unittests-no-ui.html?onserver=1 --browser chrome --pause 0 --headless

Produces:

[ERROR] Setup failed: Error: Can't create first page, runner: a Siesta.Launcher.Runner.WebDriverNodeJS, exception: WebDriverError: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally.
  (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
  (The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

I know google-chrome is available and runnable - but later changes to chrome does not allow for running headless from root. May this be the cause, or are there other options?

Chrome is installed and available in path;

Hi,

It might be possible that there's a mismatch between the installed Chrome and ChromeDriver version. Those versions need to match. Please try downloading the matching version of ChromeDriver from https://chromedriver.chromium.org/ and place the binaries to the /siesta/bin/binary/chromedriver

You can check the ChromeDriver version with siesta/bin/binary/chromedriver/linux64/chromedriver --version

Sufficiently equal? Still failing the same way

Post by nickolay »

Yes, should be sufficiently equal.

Can you try with puppeteer launcher? If Chrome really fails to start in the container it should also fail..

Perhaps this line is the rootcause:

[0413/160941.923451:ERROR:bus.cc(393)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

May be no dbus package in the container?

Created a test file test.js containing:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('localhost/tests');
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'example.png' });

  await browser.close();
})();

Yup, something with the Chrome prerequisites I guess

In spite of heavy googling, I have not been successful in solving the issue with dbus. Might be some chrome prerequisites, but really difficult to debug (that is: have had no success).
Your suggestion on running puppeteer inspired me to try that path as well:
Running in github actions:

##[debug]Loading env

[ERROR] Setup failed: Error: Error while opening project page: 5

##[debug]Finishing: Run tests on SchedulerUI

Have tried to find out of this error - what does it mean?

Post by nickolay »

Hm.. Perhaps you could start with some docker container that already has Chrome? May be there's "official" container for Chrome?

Anyway, this error means that the project web page http://127.0.0.1:80/tests/unittests-no-ui.html contains a Siesta version w/o the automation package (Siesta Lite). Need to make sure the project web page and the launcher binary uses the same Siesta package.

We've managed to run the siesta unit tests in a github workflow using the below script.
This serves as a first check on any pull-requests we create that modifies any of the sencha-based code.

To make this work we have all the siesta files checked stored in a common "sdk" directory that is checked out together with the code to be tested. Then we install Node, Java and installs sencha command (created a simple action to do that). Part of this workflow is to run jshint before the tests are run using puppeteer after starting a local webserver.

There is most certainly simplifications possible, but for us, this works like charm.

For others benefit, I leave a simplified script here:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      TEST_BASE_URL: localhost:80
      _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xms512m -Xmx1512m -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit
      SDK_PATH: /home/runner/work/wellcom-mono/wellcom-mono/sdk
      BUILD_PATH: ProjectPlannerUI
      TEST_PATH: tests
        

steps:
- name: Use Java 12 - zulu distro
  uses: actions/setup-java@v2
  with:
    distribution: 'zulu'
    java-version: '12'

- name: Use Node.js 10.x
  uses: actions/setup-node@v1
  with:
    node-version: 10.x

- name: Chekcout ${{ env.BUILD_PATH }}/ and sdk/
