Nightwatch Jenkins Integration Help

[sagar1001]

Help needed to integrate nightwatch with Jenkins. Following the documentation and examples mentioned at https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/ci-integrations/run-nightwatch-on-jenkins.html, but getting below issues while running the pipeline from Jenkins. Jenkins is hosted in Linux machine.

Tried to adjust the configurations by enabling -'--headless', '--no-sandbox' but no effect. Please help.

I have been running in a pipeline on jenkins
There are my parameters

          "goog:chromeOptions": {
      "args": ["--no-sandbox","--headless", "--disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor", "--user-agent=test",    '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
        '--disable-gpu', 'window-size=1920x1080', "--disable-infobars", "--disable-notifications", "--disable-setuid-sandbox", "--ignore-certificate-errors"
      ],

Maybe try. I would have thought that would work.

One other thought your chrome version and chromedriver version may not match.

When I npm install , I also run " npm install chromedriver --detect_chromedriver_version"
so that they match. I actually removed chrome driver from my package.json and package-lock.json

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.

My Google Chrome version is 107.0.5304.121 and Chrome driver version is 107.0.5304.62. Any issues with the versions. ?

I am not sure what nigtwatch version you are using. Does chrome/chromedriver 107 run locally? If so it should be fine on jenkins.

[sagar1001]

Nightwatch version 2.6.19
Yes Chrome/Chromedriver run locally on Jenkins server

[sagar1001]

Adding my configurations and logs for for more details. I have upgraded chrome browser and chrome driver to 112.0.5615.49

chrome: {
desiredCapabilities : {
browserName : 'chrome',
'goog:chromeOptions' : {
// More info on Chromedriver: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/
//
// w3c:false tells Chromedriver to run using the legacy JSONWire protocol (not required in Chrome 78)
w3c: true,
args: [
'--no-sandbox',
'--ignore-certificate-errors',
'--allow-insecure-localhost',
'--headless',
'--disable-dev-shm-usage'
]
}
},

My logs below,(google_chromedriver.log)

ChromeDriver was started successfully.

At end while launching chrome browser it is getting crashed. Noticed an issue in my system that /tmp is non executable. Is there a way to change the --user-data-dir= to some other path while chrome is launching. Any other issues causing this failure
