Error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist

See original GitHub issue

I’m attempting to build and run a docker container for end to end testing of my electron app. I’m receiving the following error:

    Failed to create session.
    unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally.
      (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
      (The process started from chrome location /app/node_modules/spectron/lib/launcher.js is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

      at Object.startWebDriverSession (node_modules/webdriver/build/utils.js:34:15)

Has anyone run into this and found a solution?

I still have this problem. I can run headless in the terminal not in the docker container. Can you show me your Dockerfile?

This is a work application and the tests are running fine for others. So getting the whole team on board to switch soon is unlikely. Hoping to find a solution of some kind for now.
