Browser does not open in Jenkins while executing selenium test

I am trying to start a job in Jenkins, which executes a Selenium script. It was working fine for a few months, but today it is just stopped working for an unknown reason. This job starts the first test as always and then stucks. I am not getting any errors, just nothing happens after this:

TEST STARTED: test

I have realised, that every time I am starting a job with chrome a new Google Chrome processes adds to task manager, so I assume the chrome windows are showing up. Also when I kill this processes, I am getting this:

I have tried to update Jenkins and all plugins, updated my browser and webdriver, turned off firewall and antivirus. Nothing helped so far. I am still able to run all test local via ide and have no idea what went wrong with Jenkins, that I am not able to run my tests.

Any ideas, what could went wrong and how to deal with it?

PS it works fine in firefox, but I also need chrome

Working Solution - Install Jenkins by Downloading Generic Java Package(.war), after installation the browser will open automatically when running selenium tests.

https://www.jenkins.io/download/

Please refer the below URL for installing Jenkins that supports opening browsers and run tests. https://itsforlavanya.blogspot.com/2020/08/jenkins-installation-install-jenkins-in.html

For Windows:

I would like to add when Jenkins shall show running automation test cases in browser.

First, you should not install Jenkins as windows application. Even if you do so but Do not enable the checkbox "Allow service to interact with desktop" under Log On Tab, then Jenkins would not be showing running test cases in browser. where to find this tab -

1) In windows, service select the service of Jenkins

2) Open properties window of the service -> Logon-> enable the checkbox "Allow service to interact with desktop"

3) you have to toggle the NoInteractiveServices registry key

4) After then you should reboot the service, Jenkins.

Best Approach You shall deploy Jenkins from a war file as follows:

1) Download Jenkins.war from Jenkins's official site. (If already installed just go to the folder where Jenkins has installed default path as "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\")

2) Deploy it by the command prompt : java -jar {directoryOfJenkinsFileInWindows}/jenkins.war

3) Now you can access Jenkins administration on http://localhost:8080

Mostly it is due to compatibility issue (selenium and chrome driver version). Please refer to http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

So. I have found an issue and it is a Chronium bug. More information can be found here. I will try to downgrade webdriver and chrome to older version and will share the result.

EDIT: I have downgraded my Chrome to Version 72.0.3626.81 and chromedriver to ChromeDriver 2.46. It works well.

NOTE: I found a bit tricky to prevent Chrome from auto-update to the newest version. Here you can found some useful tipps how to deal with it. I personally choose folder rename ))

This error message...

März 26, 2019 3:02:23 NACHM. org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities chrome
INFO: Using `new ChromeOptions()` is preferred to `DesiredCapabilities.chrome()`

INFO: Detected dialect: W3C

...implies that you have used an instance of DesiredCapabilities() class and casted for chrome but when the session was created the dialect detected was W3C

As a general consciousness:

  • Chrome and ChromeDriver is OSS complaint
  • Whereas GeckoDriver / Firefox and IEDriverServer / Internet Explorer is W3C complaint.

Your code block would have helped us to debug the issue in a better way. Perhaps though you have used DesiredCapabilities() class and casted for chrome but while initializing you have invoked the FirefoxDriver() as:

WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();

Solution

Change the initialization of WebDriver as:

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
