Instapy: selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: chrome not reachable

[diveu]

Running on Digital Ocean Droplet with these configs:
1 GB Memory / 20 GB Disk / AMS2 - Ubuntu 16.04.2 x64

I did the How To Ubuntu setup, but I get this issue:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "index.py", line 2, in <module> InstaPy(username='userNameChangedForIssue', password='password', nogui=True) \ File "/root/InstaPy/instapy/instapy.py", line 44, in __init__ self.browser = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver_location, chrome_options=chrome_options) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/selenium-2.53.6-py3.5.egg/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 69, in __init__ desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/selenium-2.53.6-py3.5.egg/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 90, in __init__ self.start_session(desired_capabilities, browser_profile) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/selenium-2.53.6-py3.5.egg/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 177, in start_session response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, capabilities) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/selenium-2.53.6-py3.5.egg/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 236, in execute self.error_handler.check_response(response) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/selenium-2.53.6-py3.5.egg/selenium/webdriver/remote/errorhandler.py", line 192, in check_response raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace) selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: chrome not reachable (Driver info: chromedriver=2.30.477691 (6ee44a7247c639c0703f291d320bdf05c1531b57),platform=Linux 4.4.0-83-generic x86_64)

I've seen the similar issue #338 , but I still have no idea why it doesn't work. Anyone?

UPD: Tried running this code in console:
`self.display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
self.display.start()

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--dns-prefetch-disable')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--lang=en-US')
chrome_options.add_experimental_option('prefs', {'intl.accept_languages': 'en-US'})
browser = webdriver.Chrome('./assets/chromedriver', chrome_options=chrome_options)`

And it worked just fine. Strange.

If anyone is interested:
Fixed it with removing the chrome_options.binary_location = chromedriver_location line. I guess this one should be the location of Chome instead of chromedriver.

Same problem, and removing chrome_options.binary_location = chromedriver_location helped!

[SameerKhan]

Agreed! Removing above worked for me too!

@timgrossmann fixed it in this commit, so I think we could close it

I've got the same problem :/ and I've got the last version.

Try to launch a cron on an Ubuntu server 14.04
