Severity: important
Hi
My chromiumdriver stopped working recently with an odd error message:
% python3 -c "from selenium import webdriver; webdriver.Chrome()"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py",

selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not

Given that my chromium was indeed version 73, it took me a while to find
out what was happening. Strace gave the answer:
% strace -q -f -e trace=execve python3 -c "from selenium import webdriver;
webdriver.Chrome()"

I have the Chrome stable packages installed (due to an issue with Meet
hanging with Chromium). So my /usr/bin/google-chrome points to
% readlink -f /usr/bin/google-chrome
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
If I move /usr/bin/google-chrome out of the way, it starts chromium
instead:
% sudo mv /usr/bin/google-chrome /usr/bin/google-chrome.disable
% strace -q -f -e trace=execve python3 -c "from selenium import webdriver;
webdriver.Chrome()"
[...]

0x7ffc630f6490 /* 62 vars */) = 0
In case someone wants to try to reproduce this, the package providing
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome is google-chrome-stable from this
repository:
% cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
Thanks
