Error: "DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist"

[thorstenkampe]

Opera is running; the web driver shows:

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:39828/devtools/browser/435dddb7-ea11-4227-b3ec-624947699194
[12436:11812:1013/133329.911:ERROR:input_datastore.cc(284)] Keybinding Shift+/ used for both command Find and Find

Nevertheless Selenium shows:

.\selenium-side-runner -c browserName=opera Default.side
info:    Running Default.side
 FAIL  C:/data/flash drive/PortableApps/nodejs/side-suite-Default/Default Suite.test.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

    WebDriverError: unknown error: Opera failed to start: crashed
      (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
      (The process started from chrome location F:\PortableApps\Opera Developer\58.0.3105.0\opera.exe is no longer running, so OperaDriver is assuming that Opera has crashed.)

@arthurvanpasselia @sudipta1978 @Flo354 @Lcpp0 I've been using the following to get around this issue:

options.addArguments("--remote-debugging-port=9222");
