Can't run Selenium code inside Odoo

Hi everyone, I'm trying to trigger a very simple web scraper from Odoo. Right now, all I am trying to do is to instantiate a webdriver.Chrome object inside one of my model's functions, that is triggered by a button on my form view.

I am able to run this code as a separate python script (simply doing python my_script.py) which proves that Selenium is correctly configured in my system. However, it seems like the Odoo server's threads have a problem running it:

selenium\.common\.exceptions\.WebDriverException:\ Message:\ Service\ /root/\.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/linux64/103.0.5060.53/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: -5

I have spent several hours trying to understand what is going on, but to no avail. Things I've tried so far include using both Chrome, Chromium and Firefox; tried every single combination of Webdriver parameters (headless, etc.); trying giving full permissions on chromedriver, chrome and chromium executables (chmod 777); running odoo with and without sudo.

Unfortauntely nothing worked so far, so I started looking into Odoo's ThreadedServer code, so see if I found any reason why Selenium's subprocess.Popen calls wouldn't work, but unfortunately this is so beyond my knowledge that I don't even know what to Google!

Any insights would be greatly appreciated... thanks!

The problem is related to limit_memory_hard. Increase it and it will work properly. I had the same issue.

I set it like limit_memory_hard=2684354560
but still the same

Enric Tobella Alomar

You need to increase it even more.

Vaidehi Vasani

Oh yeah I agree, with
limit_memory_hard=99999999999
It works all okay, this was so strange, I wonder how you could find such resolution, thanks a lot

Enric Tobella Alomar

All thanks to your question! You inspired me the idea, and after a lot of test I was able to figure it out. Selenium is opening a browser, but Odoo limits the memory of the thread. It closes abruptly due to that limit. For that reason, it is necessary to increase it so much.

Hi, i try to apply the answer of Enric Tobella Alomar , but doesnt works for me, stay raising the error  "Status code was: -5". Im doing good?  

i go to the "odoo.conf" and add the next line:
limit_memory_hard=999999999999

I wasn't able to fix it, so what I did was I delegated the Selenium code to a small HTTP server running side on the same machine as my Odoo instance, and I just send requests from Odoo to the server.

Did you find any other solution? Also facing this issue

Adnier Roselló

Hi Fred Nunes, How can I delegate the execution of selenium to a http server to send requests out of odoo? if you can share your solution it would be very helpful, thank you very much in advance
