[🐛 Bug]: "Could not start a new session" SessionNotCreatedException thrown with Selenium 4.1.3/IEDriverServer 4.0.0 without open desktop session (works with Selenium 3.141.0/IEDriverServer 2.53.1)

See original GitHub issue

What happened?

I’m running Selenium via a Jenkins Maven job. The job is running on a separate Jenkins agent without a remote desktop session open to it. When I run in Selenium 3.141.0 with IEDriverServer 2.53.1.0 it works fine. However, running with Selenium 4.1.3 and IEDriverServer 4.0.0.0 throws a SessionNotCreatedException. Note that if I keep a remote desktop session open it works fine with Selenium 4.1.3 and IEDriverServer 4.0.0.0. But running without an open RDP session is not desired.

I found similar issue https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/10497 and reviewed https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/ie_driver_server/ and confirmed the Windows environment and IE Selenium capabilities are setup properly. I also tried with Edge/IE11 compatibility mode and got the same problem.

Thank you in advance for your help towards resolving this issue!

How can we reproduce the issue?

InternetExplorerOptions ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions();
ieOptions.setPlatformName(Platform.WINDOWS.name());
ieOptions.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);
ieOptions.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.REQUIRE_WINDOW_FOCUS, false);
ieOptions.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.ENABLE_ELEMENT_CACHE_CLEANUP, true);
ieOptions.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);
ieOptions.setCapability("IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings", true);
ieOptions.setCapability("nativeEvents", true);
ieOptions.setCapability("browserFocus", true);
ieOptions.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);
ieOptions.setCapability("requireWindowFocus", true);
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "driver\\IEDriverServer_4.0.0.0.exe");
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieOptions);

Hi @diemol, apologies it took me so long to reply. I was able to workaround this issue using VNC and Caffeine: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71947527/sessionnotcreatedexception-with-selenium-4-1-3-iedriverserver-4-0-0-without-open/72221589#72221589. Thanks for you feedback and everything you’ve done for the community!

Still, I am open for another solution if anyone has any suggestions!

Thanks!
