                One of the causes could be when you are running as root.
                In that case you need to pass no_sandbox=True

FYI A quick fix for this is to open Chrome in debugging mode as well.

Chrome Launch from Terminal

open -a "Google Chrome" --args --remote-debugging-port=9222

Bot Config

arguments: ["-no-sandbox", "--remote-debugging-port=9222"]

Same error for me too.
I have tried Chrome and Edge.
It seems like the script aborts too quickly to wait for the browser. Maybe it would be a possibility to make the timeout customizable in the config?

The suggested QuickFix has no success either.

did not work for me or maybe I just did not completely understand what to do :D

Same for me. Not working and the same error message. Also the quickfix does not work

This bug still exists with the latest binary release for me on Fedora Linux 40 with chromium.

This worked as a workaround for me (macOS 14.6.1 (23G93)), ty @Vel-San!

Also simplified it into one command:

open -a "Google Chrome" --args --remote-debugging-port=9222 && ./kleinanzeigen-bot <your-command>

And because there was some uncertainty on what exactly to do (see @finnjung's comment):

Add

browser:
  arguments:
    # https://stackoverflow.com/a/50725918/5116073
    - --disable-dev-shm-usage
    - --no-sandbox
    - --remote-debugging-port=9222

to your main configuration yaml file.

Hi, thx for the support :)

should i just add the line For emxemple after

 ad_files:
  - ./**/ad_*.{json,yml,yaml} 
```?

ok better begin or end ?

and if i want to refresh the items i just need to give the command "pdm run app download" ? -> i tried to give the command on powershell and also on dmd Windows 11 as admin but i receive this error
