Hi, @haridanapana.
Please follow the issue template, we need more information to reproduce the issue.

Either a complete code snippet and URL/HTML (if more than one file is needed, provide a GitHub repo and instructions to run the code), the specific versions used, or a more detailed description to help us understand the issue.

Note: If you cannot share your code and URL/HTML, any complete code snippet and URL/HTML that reproduces the issue is good enough.

Reply to this issue when all information is provided, thank you.

Please note we only support the official Helm chart. You'd need to provide the script that shows that error as well.

[haridanapana]

Hi diemol,
Thanks for your reply.

we are using the official helm chart provided in the below
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium/blob/trunk/charts/selenium-grid/README.md

We have installed the selenium Grid of version 4.23 using K8s and ran the selenium scripts and observed the devtools issue.

Below is the script
private ChromeOptions createChromeRemoteDriverOptionsHeadless(String downloadFilepath, ChromeOptions options) {
HashMap<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<>();

    prefs.put("download.default_directory", downloadFilepath);
    prefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", "False");
    options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
    options.addArguments("--headless=new");
    options.addArguments("--window-size=" + 2560 + "," + 1440);
    options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
    options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
    options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
    options.addArguments("--disable-dev-tools");

    return options;
}

Note:
Is there any approach to install the chrome browser of version less than 123. we have tested in normal standalone VM with this 122 chrome browser version we didnt observe the devtools issue.

Thanks,

[diemol]

You are only sharing the options. This issue might help you #13185

[haridanapana]

the above solution didnt work .
below us the code snippet
public class DevToolsHandling {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
options.addArguments("--disable-dev-tools");

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.get("https://example.com");
 }

}

What if you remove this arg options.addArguments("--disable-dev-tools");?

[diemol]

@haridanapana I am not sure if you read the issue I linked, because it is suggesting to remove --disable-dev-tools as suggested above.
