Firefox node issue, browser hangs #31

alvassin · 2014-12-30T13:59:14Z

Hello,

my firefox nodes (i am running docker on ubuntu server) seem to hang (100% reproduces), as using custom docker builds as using official via docker pull (chrome nodes work well).

I tried to execute firefox in the container, seems to be no display configured:

#docker run c6970094431e /usr/bin/firefox

(process:1): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
Error: cannot open display: :99.0

If i execute docker logs $CID i see the following:

18:47:35.677 INFO - Executing: [new session: Capabilities [{platform=ANY, javascriptEnabled=true, browserName=firefox, version=}]])

If you are running docker run c6970094431e /usr/bin/firefox where that hash is the image id of selenium/node-firefox then I'm not surprised. Docker containers are inherently headless so there's no X11 support to display any gui application. This is why we wrap the selenium process with xvfb-run. See: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium/blob/master/NodeBase/entry_point.sh#L21-L25.

Since you are trying to explicitly launch firefox without xvfb running, there would be no display device for it to work.

alvassin · 2014-12-30T15:59:55Z

@mtscout6 thanks a lot for your response!
i tried to run docker run -d --link selenium-hub:hub selenium/node-firefox:2.44.0 but i have same problem...

mtscout6 · 2014-12-30T16:04:48Z

For a sanity check, can you run the test.sh script from this repo and tell me if you are still getting the issue? You will need to clone the repo to do so.

Also, have you tried removing the selenium/node-firefox image and re-pulling it from docker hub?

mgingras · 2015-02-04T18:59:41Z

Hey @mtscout6, I am seeing this issue as well. I have tried removing the selenium/node-firefox and the selenium/hub images and re-pulling them.

I have also run the test.sh script and got the following:

I have tried against the standalone-firefox image and got the same errors. Any debug steps/ideas would be appreciated.

May be related to #36 . In particular https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=8390 .

mtscout6 · 2015-02-04T21:56:48Z

I was thinking the same thing, but I have pulled the images fresh from hub.docker.com today and they are working. They were last built before the latest release of firefox. Have you built them yourself locally?

mgingras · 2015-02-04T22:22:06Z

Hmm, odd. I pulled them down today and get Mozilla Firefox 35.0.1 if I run firefox -v against any of the images. I have tried building them locally and am playing with curling down a lower version of Firefox.

mgingras · 2015-02-05T14:23:44Z

So I am still seeing the error running against firefox 33 👎

bmannix · 2015-03-25T04:52:20Z

I only see this issue on my Ubuntu host. If I use boot2docker, I can run the exact same containers without any issues.

panvid · 2015-03-25T13:03:15Z

We inspect this error over two days and wondered about

Error: cannot open display: :99.0

This error does happen because there is no display in the node-firefox environment.
How to fix it:

After docker start and before setting environment as node create a virtual monitor:

Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x16 &
export DISPLAY=:1

Its important to enter a & after the screen creation to set the Xvfb process in background and don't close it in next command.

mtscout6 · 2015-03-25T13:17:33Z

The thing that's confusing is that's exactly what this line is for: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium/blob/master/NodeBase/entry_point.sh#L21

panvid · 2015-03-25T13:21:34Z

The script was perfectly works in Windows / Mac (boot2Docker), but not in Linux. Perhaps some linux machine delete the virtual monitor after creating it.
But its fact, that there is no virtual monitor existing using this Dockerfile and scripts with linux hosts.

mtscout6 · 2015-03-25T13:25:13Z

Have you tried setting ENV DISPLAY :99.0 to :1 which is the same number display you mentioned above?

bmannix · 2015-03-25T13:26:53Z

@dpauli - let's be specific. boo2docker is based on tiny core linux (thanks @wadedude), so it's not a linux issue, per se. I suspect that it's only an issue on Ubuntu, which would be disappointing. I'll test on a Centos based system today and report back.

panvid · 2015-03-25T13:26:55Z

We changed display with

export DISPLAY=:1

without creating this display before.

Then the error is

Error: cannot open display: :1.0

jmewes · 2015-03-25T13:28:39Z

We could reproduce it with Ubuntu and CentOS as well.

mtscout6 · 2015-03-25T13:33:12Z

I don't have a linux machine to test with at the moment. So if you guys create a pull request with a fix I will test that it isn't broken on Mac and we'll go from there.

bprosnitz · 2015-04-01T05:37:12Z

I can also reproduce this on Ubuntu. I will try to check on mac when I have a chance.

caarlos0 · 2015-04-30T17:10:08Z

I created a docker-compose.yml like this:

hub:
  image: selenium/hub
  ports:
    - "4444:4444"
node:
  image: selenium/node-firefox
  links:
    - hub

Then I put it up with docker-compose up -d and scale it with docker-compose scale node=30.

I'm also getting those type of errors...

It's running in an Ubuntu server 14.04.

snowe2010 · 2015-06-04T23:36:43Z

Does anyone have a setup that does work? I understand that there are a lot of things that don't work, but really most people just care about a working setup. I'm coming across the same errors with Ubuntu, and I'm even seeing it with boot2docker, so a solution rather than all of these problems would be nice.

jmewes · 2015-06-05T07:22:23Z

A colleague of mine setup a Docker Grid on Debian 8 without any of such problems.

caarlos0 · 2015-06-05T12:07:12Z

adiherzog · 2015-06-08T15:04:42Z

I have the same problem when running sudo docker run -p=4444:4444 selenium/standalone-firefox on Ubuntu 14.04.

adiherzog · 2015-06-09T06:55:08Z

Seems that the problem lies actually in the following lines:

process 734: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.

See: http://stackoverflow.com/a/22503523

Maybe apt-get install dbus-x11 could be the solution.

axelwass · 2016-06-27T18:27:13Z

installing dbus-x11 on the ubuntu host machine worked for me!

apt-get install dbus-x11

Thanks a lot @adiherzog

diemol · 2017-09-07T19:38:07Z

This should not be an issue anymore due to the changes and improvements in the images since this was created, please report back and feel free to reopen in case this is still an issue.
