title: How to fix "usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed" error in Linux?
body: <p>I'm trying to setup a jenkins server to host my automation framework with Selenium-webdriver(3.142.0) and ruby(2.3.7) on Amazon Linux. If I try to invoke a chromedriver using my script, it says, </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
      (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
      (The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
      (Driver info: chromedriver=74.0.3729.6 (255758eccf3d244491b8a1317aa76e1ce10d57e9-refs/branch-heads/3729@{#29}),platform=Linux 4.14.104-95.84.amzn2.x86_64 x86_64)".</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've placed my chromedriver under '/var/lib/jenkins/driver/chromedriver' and set the PATH for the same in .bashrc and also created a symlink for the same to '/usr/bin/google-chrome'. Below are the details of the machine that I'm using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    NAME="Amazon Linux"
      VERSION="2"
      ID="amzn"
      ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora"
      VERSION_ID="2"
      PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux 2"
      ANSI_COLOR="0;33"
      CPE_NAME="cpe:2.3:o:amazon:amazon_linux:2"
      HOME_URL="https://amazonlinux.com/"```
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <pre><code>require 'selenium-webdriver'
  options = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new
  options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
  options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
  driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, options: options
  </code></pre>

  &gt;Expected result: Browser should be invoked.
  &gt;Actual result: 
  Exits with the error "The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed."
