Starting chrome throws with "Bad state: No element"

Open schultek opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Calling Chrome.startWithDebugPort() almost consistently throws for me when I provide a userDataDir.

The error comes from the stderr....firstWhere() call, which appears to be called on an empty stream. I have no clue why the stream is empty or why this is related to userDataDir.

After some more digging, it seems like this happens when there is already an instance of chrome running, in which case the stdout prints for me "Wird in einer aktuellen Browsersitzung geöffnet." and the process exits immediately (which causes the empty stderr).
