Can someone please look into this and help me to resolve this issue?

As per my understanding I think zenika/alpine-chrome:with-chromedriver docker image starting chrome driver 121 but chrome has now new update 122 might be the chrome version issue.

@zigarn zigarn Can you please take a look at this?

[zigarn]

@manishbupadhyay can you provide a minimal reproducible .gitlab-ci.yml file? Ideally even a public gitlab repository with it and the CI pipeline?

[zigarn]

I'm only working on the packaging and don't know much of the JS frameworks packaged. But from what I understand, it's the expected behavior of the with-chromedriver image: it launch a chromedriver server and then wait for connections.

docker file

FROM zenika/alpine-chrome:with-chromedriver
ADD ./target/myproject.jar app.jar
ARG test
ENV envValue=$test
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/app.jar"]

[zigarn]

Please read https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_docker_images.html#override-the-entrypoint-of-an-image
The image's entrypoint is used and as pointed in earlier comment, the entrypoint is to launch the chromedriver server.
So just reset the entrypoint in the gitlab-ci config:

#...
SmokeTest:
  stage: SmokeTest
  image:
    name: zenika/alpine-chrome:with-chromedriver
    entrypoint: [""]
#...

[manishbupadhyay]

@zigarn when I use the entrypoint above as you mentioned then the mvn is not found message is displayed
#...
SmokeTest:
stage: SmokeTest
image:
name: zenika/alpine-chrome:with-chromedriver
entrypoint: [""]
#...

[zigarn]

This is quite logic as neither java nor maven are provided in the image zenika/alpine-chrome:with-chromedriver.
You need to install them in your CI script or to extend the image first to add them in a new one containing chromedriver, java and maven.

@zigarn can you please give me an example with my above gitlab ci file?
