I'm currently facing an issue trying to run a selenium web automation with firefox(headless) on azure devops, I have the same browser version installed on the windows agent but still I get errors.
It works fine for Chrome on Azure and also locally it works fine for firefox so not really sure what is causing this issue.
These are the logs:

Based on this looks like the browser it's opening but not able to navigate the website not really sure.
Hopefully someone has some idea of what could be the issue, thanks!
This error message...
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverTimeoutException : Timed out after 30 seconds
----> OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException : Unable to locate element: //h2[contains(text(),'Sign in with your email address')]
...implies that NoSuchElementException while trying to locate the element with the locator strategy.
Generally <h2> tags are header elements. Ideally, to locate any visible element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the ElementIsVisible() and you can use the following Locator Strategy:
Using XPath:
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.XPath("//h2[contains(., 'Sign in with your email address')]")));

Below is the selenium script to open chrome browser in C# on Windows 10 Visual Studio Code. I'm using Chrome 74 (64 bit) and corresponding ChromeDriver 74.0.3729.6. One thing to note is Chrome is not installed in default directory. This is due to our Office security purpose. It has installed in a different location. When I run the script It gives me error -Failed to create a Chrome process. Could some one please help me to understand why chrome browser isn't opening?

I think your just missing the executable name, like so for example
var chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions()
{
BinaryLocation = "D:\\Chrome\\chrome.exe"
};
var driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
here is my setup:
I've tried various driver/webdriver/grid versions, added capabilities just in case one mandatory was missing but had the same result.
Error also present if I delete the driver.exe file so this shouldn't be considered.
Start grid with bat file
start cmd /k java -jar grid3.14.jar -role hub -newSessionWaitTimeout 10
start cmd /k java -jar grid3.14.jar -role node -hub http://192.168.1.229:4444/grid/register
Execute C# code bellow
var options = new ChromeOptions();
var uri = new Uri("http://192.168.1.229:4444/wd/hub");
var driver = new RemoteWebDriver(uri, options);
Test fails with error:

This is my first stackoverflow question. I already searched for some answers on this site, but all the solutions I found didn't worked for me, or they were meant for Java or javascript.
The situation
As a junior automation tester I created a sort of Automation Test Framework in C# with the Selenium Webdriver and Protractor.Net.
The Framework consists of 2 parts.
The page objects
The tests
There is also a page object base class. In this class I defined methods that are used by every page object, such as a method for opening a specific program module.
In the tests, there is also a base class. In this class the Test attributes (C# UnitTest) are defined, such as TestInitialize, TestCleanup, AssemblyCleanup.
In the Test Base class I also defined the NgWebDriver, ChromeDriver:
driver = new NgWebDriver(new OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver());
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
In the Page Object Base class I defined a method to open a specific part of the
website:
public void OpenSPA(string spa)
{
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(spa, true);
driver.Navigate().Refresh();
}
The pararmeter spa contains the url to navigate to.
The Testcase
The testcase is just simple:
open module x of the website
module x is just an url
The complete code of the testcase:
[TestMethod]
[TestCategory(cat), TestCategory(regression)]
public void Organisatie_CheckActief()
{
bool is_actief;
var organisatie = new CrmSPA(driver);
organisatie.VulVeld("Vrij zoeken", "XXXX");
is_actief = organisatie.IsRelatieActief();
//Assertion
Assert.IsTrue(is_actief == true, "Relatie is niet actief.");
The problem:
Since a couple of weeks ago I get the following error when running the testcase:
Test Name: Organisatie_CheckActief
Test FullName: FirstTest.Webdrivers.WijzigenOrganisatie_Basis.Organisatie_CheckActief
Test Source: C:\Users\XXXX\TestCases\\Organisatie\WijzigenOrganisatie_basis.cs : line 168

The Result on screen/browser
When running the test the following happens:
the chrome browser starts (OK)
the chrome browser opens maximized (ok)
the chrome browser gets the url (ok)
the browser is empty shows blank page (NOK)
somehow i found the following error:
angular never provided resumeBootstrap
I searched on google and stackoverflow and i tried some answers like the synchronize option:
driver.IgnoreSynchronization
the problem does not always shows up. sometimes the page is loaded and the test continues.
I already tried to reinstall protractor-net, a newer chromedriver and seleniumdriver. The problem still exist.
If anyone can help me with this.
This error message...
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.UnpackAndThrowOnError(Response errorResponse)
...implies that the RemoteWebDriver incurred an error while executing a command.
Selenium being an open source framework, you can have a look at the source code here.
GoToUrl() is defined in RemoteNavigator.cs and accepts only one argument string url as follows :
/// Navigate to a url for your test
/// </summary>
/// <param name="url">String of where you want the browser to go to</param>
public void GoToUrl(string url)
{
this.driver.Url = url;
}
But in your code block while invoking GoToUrl() method along with the string spa you have also passed true. This possibly raises the error.
Solution
Within GoToUrl() method removing the argument true will solve your issue.

It's needed to select the second item from the drop-down menu that is hidden by default. The problem it that it works fine in Fire Fox 41 browser but not in Internet Explorer 11. I'm using Selenium Web Driver with C#, nUnit in Visual Studio 2010. Tests are executed on remote VM with Selenium Server and IEDriver.
HTML looks like:
<ul id="CVC" class="buttonMenu" style="visibility: hidden; left: 183px;">
<li class="menuItem">First</li>
<li class="menuItem">Second</li>
<li class="menuItem">Third</li>
</ul>
I have C# code that works only in FireFox:
var menu = wd.FindElement(By.Id("CVC"));
var menuLi = menu.FindElements(By.TagName("li"));
menuLi[1].Click();
wd.FindElement(By.Id("TITLE")).SendKeys("blabla"); //continue to work with appeared pop-up
wd.FindElement(By.Id("CVC_OK")).Click();
When I run test in Internet Explorer an error appears:

Does anyone know how to make it worked in Internet Explorer 11?
Not sure if IE should be considered as a real browser. In any case I reread your problem, it seems that you expect IE to work like a browser on click event. In that case you might want to help it along :
using (var wd = new InternetExplorerDriver(
new InternetExplorerOptions {EnableNativeEvents = false}))
{
//your code
}
I figured out the solution by using JavaScript. I'm not sure that this is the best solution but at least it works not only in FF, but also in IE browser:
((IJavaScriptExecutor)wd).ExecuteScript("$('#CVC li:eq(1)').click()");
wd.FindElement(By.Id("TITLE")).Clear();
wd.FindElement(By.Id("TITLE")).SendKeys("blabla");
wd.FindElement(By.Id("CVC_OK")).Click();
This worked for me:
_driver.FindElement(By.Id("IdOfControl")).SendKeys(value);
