Robotic task is not opening browser with the message DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist

Certified Senior Developer

Hi All,

We are trying to build new RPA use case to open browser and download file and bringing back to Appian.

Earlier the robitc task was working fine with below browser and driver versions. 

Browser: Chrome  (121.0.6167.161)

Driver Version: 121.0.6167.85

After the chrome got upgraded the robotic task is not able to launch brower with the below browser & driver version: 

Browser: Chrome  (121.0.6167.185)

Driver Version: 121.0.6167.184

Robotic task is failing with below error:

[INFO] 2024-02-21 05:23:03 03s (0h) - Browser version: 121.0.6167.185, Driver version: 121.0.6167.184

(The process started from chrome location C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

    Hii  ,

    The more you can do is to follow the certain steps:

    Go to Appian RPA from the Navigation Tiles > Select the Setting tab > Select configuration > check the "select Allow Appian to provide selenium web drivers" in the security policy section.

    So what we are doing is if the Chrome driver is not working then this will automatically pick you current chrome version and will help to run the robot. 

    i hope this will going work. let me know if it's not.

    Thanks
