Error while running Selenium with Chrome in Docker

Question

I am attempting to deploy a Python script in a docker container that utilizes Selenium ChromeWebDriver:

def initialize_driver(self):
        try:
            options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
            options.add_argument("--headless")
            options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
            options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
            driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()),  options=options)
            return driver
        except Exception as error:
            logging.error("INITIAL:",error)

However, i encountered the following error message:

Logging error ---

This is the Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.11.2
WORKDIR /app
ADD . /app 
RUN apt -f install
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl && apt-get install -y wget && apt-get install bzip2 -y && apt-get install unzip -y

RUN wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
RUN dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb; apt-get -fy install

COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt 
RUN pip install -r ./requirements.txt 
CMD [ "python", "main.py" ]

My requirements.txt:

selenium
packaging
webdriver_manager
chromedriver-binary```

I tried to add

RUN apt-get install -y gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libcairo2 libcups2 libfontconfig1 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libxss1 fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils

to the Dockerfile but that didn't change anything. Any help is much appreciated

Answer 1

I solved it. The problem was that i downloaded the wrong version of the chromedriver in the dockerfile.
