WebDriverException: Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: -5

[ylhan]

I'm trying to run chrome within AWS MWAA but the webdriver exits each time with status code -5.

Grab the image from https://github.com/aws/aws-mwaa-local-runner and run it

Once the container is running you can bash into it, install selenium and the webdriver-manager and run the following script.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromiumService
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager.core.os_manager import ChromeType
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless=new")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
    service=ChromiumService(
        ChromeDriverManager(chrome_type=ChromeType.CHROMIUM).install()
    ),
    options=options,
)

Error log

>>> options = Options()
>>> options.add_argument("--headless=new")
>>> driver = webdriver.Chrome(
...             service=ChromiumService(
...                 ChromeDriverManager(chrome_type=ChromeType.CHROMIUM).install()
...             ),
...             options=options,
...         )

Having the same issue, just with Chrome instead of Chromium.

Same issue. Works locally but fails in a containerized environment.
