Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist) (The process started from chrome location /app/.apt/opt/google/chrome/chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

@alessandrostein did you ever find the solution?
I have the same issue when i run bin/rails test:system

Hi @PaulineTW, I don't remember how I solved this in the past, but I can try to help you 👋

What about adding Capybara.default_driver = :selenium_chrome_headless in the top of your file?

# capybara.rb

require 'webdrivers'
require 'capybara/rails'
require 'capybara/minitest'

Capybara.server = :puma, { Silent: true }
Capybara.server_port = 55_707
Capybara.default_max_wait_time = 10
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium_chrome_headless
Webdrivers.cache_time = 86_400

Also, make sure the capybara and webdrivers gems are updated 👍

Thank you so much for your reply @alessandrostein i appreciate.
I have actually get it fixed with the below

# application_system_test_case.rb

class ApplicationSystemTestCase < ActionDispatch::SystemTestCase
  # Change :chrome with :headless_chrome
  Capybara.configure do |config|
    config.always_include_port = true
  end

  driven_by :selenium, using: :headless_chrome do |option|
    option.add_argument "no-sandbox"
  end
end
