[🐛 Bug]: Standalone cannot create session

[ow-sam]

What happened?

I have been trying to connect to the selenium/chrome-standalone docker container, and it is having trouble creating sessions. I keep getting the following error.

The code that is generating this error is the following:

options = Options()
options.set_capability("goog:loggingPrefs", {"performance": "ALL"})
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")

driver = webdriver.Remote("http://chrome:4444/wd/hub", options=options)

I tried using different versions of selenium/chrome-standalone and using the node/hub containers instead of the standalone. Any suggestions?

Command used to start Selenium Grid with Docker (or Kubernetes)

services:
  chrome:
    platform: linux/x86_64
    hostname: chrome
    image: selenium/standalone-chrome:4.22.0-20240621
    shm_size: 2gb
    privileged: true
  datafetcher:
    build: .
    depends_on:
      - chrome

What architecture does your Mac have? ARM or Intel?

[ow-sam]

ARM, using a 2021 Mac with M1 Pro, but I should mention I also tried Arm64 platform

[diemol]

You need to use the ARM images
