[🐛 Bug]: standalone-chrome crashes when creating a new session (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)

[kh0r]

What happened?

When trying to setup my new rails project using docker-compose I couldn't make the browser tests work. The selenium/standalone-chrome container crashed everytime when the rails test runner wanted to create a session. I could reproduce it with the docker run command from the readme:

docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --shm-size="2g" selenium/standalone-chrome:4.3.0-20220628

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"desiredCapabilities": { "browserName": "chrome" }}' \
     http://localhost:4444/session

Hardware is MacBook Pro M1 Pro running MacOS 12.4

Command used to start Selenium Grid with Docker

docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --shm-size="2g" selenium/standalone-chrome:4.3.0-20220628
