Chromedriver .exe process crashes in TC12 while running selenium script..

Hi,

 

Could someone please assist - I'm trying to run selenium scripts in TestComplete 12 but Chromedriver keeps crashing at the start of the script execution. The errors I'm getting are:

 

Exception code: 0xC0000005.
Process identifier (PID): 6744.
Dump file: chromedriver_ue_4ce3a0e2.dmp.

 

Any idea why this is happening and how can I make the Chrome driver to launch successfully known that TestComplete 12 extension already added in Chrome settings!

 

Regards,

Az Margani

    Hi,

     

    It is my understanding that TestComplete has no idea about chromedriver because TestComplete does not use it when controlling Chrome. It is Selenium that requires and uses chromedriver in order to be able to interact with Chrome browser.

    What TestComplete does when it executes Selenium tests is that it (TestComplete) simply starts MSTest (or xUnit runner, depending on what your Selenium tests are based on) pointing it to the required Selenium dll, intercepts test log output, waits until MSTest is done and stores obtained test exit code and log.

    So, considering that you already must have everything in place on your test machine (MSTest/xUnit, Selenium dll with tests, etc.) , I would suggest to check if Selenium tests can be executed without chromedriver crash if started from command line (e.g. mstest.exe <SeleniumDll.dll> ).If command-line execution succeeds, then I would recommend to create a Support ticket via the https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestComplete form.
