Chromedriver checks a different Temp folder than Chrome puts the DevToolsActivePort file due to 32/64 bit...
I'm trying to run Selenium/testNg tests against headless Chrome on a Windows 2008 R2 machine. I'm using the WebDriverManager library from Bonigarcia (https://github.com/bonigarcia/webdrivermanager) to hopefully make this independent from whatever version of Chrome the machine is using.
My code to instantiate the chromedriver is as follows:
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
// webDriver = new ChromeDriver();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
webDriver = new ChromeDriver(options);
The problem I'm having is that the Chromedriver is telling me the DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist. On recommendation from Google at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=2483&can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Status%20Pri%20Owner%20Summary&groupby=&sort=, I've used ProcMon to figure out what's going wrong.
What I've found is that Chrome is in fact creating the DevToolsActivePort file, in the Temp folder inside the System32 folder, while the Chromedriver is checking for the file in the Temp folder inside the SysWow64 folder. Since Chrome is a 64 bit version (and doesn't even have a 32 bit version anymore since a couple versions ago) and the ChromeDriver only has a 32-bit version that should work with both 32 and 64 bit versions of Chrome, they're effectively checking different Temp folders for the same file, which means they can't find each other.
Besides installing a 32 bit version of Chrome, is there a way to make it so they both check the right folder?
