Hello there.

Meta -

OS: Linux debian-8-64bit 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
selenium-server-standalone: 3.6.0
chromedriver 2.33
Google Chrome 62.0.3202.75

Expected Behavior -

Run php example with standalone selenium and chrome

Actual Behavior -

errors

Steps to reproduce -

I do:
a)
selenium start command:

DISPLAY=:99 xvfb-run -a -n 1 -l -s "-screen 0, 1024x768x8" java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="/var/path/to/chromedriver" -jar /var/path/to/selenium-server-standalone-3.6.0.jar -debug

output:

php's output

root@debian-8-64bit:/var/www/site# php test.php
Curl error thrown for http POST to /session with params: {"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"chrome","platform":"ANY"}}

Can you run standalone with the -debug option so we get a more verbose output?

[lmtierney]

And what versions of Chrome/Firefox are you using

[ttns]

Thanks, problem with firefox is my bad. Old version of firefox, but Chrome is still not working.
I updated my post with "-debug" option.

[lmtierney]

chromedriver is having trouble starting chrome. Are you sure chrome is installed in a location that chromedriver can reach it?

What do:

which google-chrome
which google-chrome-stable

return?

The error is coming directly from chromedriver so selenium is attempting to start a new session. I'm not sure what else to try other than the commands above, all the correct capabilities are being sent

[ttns]

/usr/bin/google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

[lmtierney]

My only other suggestion is to check that XVFB is working right. Regardless, this doesn't seem to be a selenium issue but a chromedriver/environment issue.
