Chrome instance not getting started for selenium testing in github runner.

.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: session not created: probably user data directory is already in use, please specify a unique value for --user-data-dir argument, or don't use --user-data-dir

The exception is : .openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: session not created: probably user data directory is already in use, please specify a unique value for --user-data-dir argument, or don't use --user-data-dir

Attempted solution(didnt work):

options.addArguments("--user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-user-data-dir");

  run: |
    export USER_DATA_DIR="/tmp/chrome-user-data-dir"
    mkdir -p "$USER_DATA_DIR"
    echo "USER_DATA_DIR=$USER_DATA_DIR" >> $GITHUB_ENV  

Using below to start chrome session

driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

• try without setting the user-data-dir. It'll automatically create a temporary profile for use. If that fails, it's probably a permissions issue. – browsermator Commented Jan 22 at 20:06
• Thanks for reply. Yes it was earlier setting without use of user-data-dir. It returned the same error. Hence posted the query here.. – Amresh Commented Jan 23 at 3:34
• I believe its related to this github/actions/runner-images/issues/10636 – Keith Commented Jan 23 at 18:35
• @Keith, Please try using headless with chromeoptions. – Amresh Commented Jan 23 at 18:46

I am able to resolve by setting headless mode. Earlier I used headless=old.

Just simple setting

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
