Destroy Session Error (disconnected: not connected to DevTools) and hung chrome.exe/chromedriver.exe processes about flaresolverr

url and maxTimeout aren't needed when creating and destroying sessions.

Using your format, I can reproduce the error. However, when using the format from our example, there's no error - https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr#usage

Removing -UseBasicParsing from our example results in the same error.

-UseBasicParsing has been deprecated in PS v6 onwards, as it's the default behaviour (to not run script code when HTML is parsed). Either use PS v6/7 (v5 is default in Windows), or use -UseBasicParsing.

@ilike2burnthing Thanks for your checks, and note your url and maxTimeout suggestions, I have amended this.

I am using PowerShell 7.4.2, but the error persists, whether I use -UseBasicParsing or not using my script.

Even using the powershell example below, I have the same error:

$body = @{
    cmd = "request.get"
    url = "http://www.google.com/"
    maxTimeout = 60000
} | ConvertTo-Json

irm -UseBasicParsing 'http://localhost:8191/v1' -Headers @{"Content-Type"="application/json"} -Method Post -Body $body

I will update to 3.3.20 meanwhile.

Any ideas?

[sunnyd24]

Same issue with 3.3.20.

However, I have isolated this error to an environment variable "headless=false", and "headless=true" seems to work fine.

Likely to be something in the code that has affected this at some point?

[ilike2burnthing]

I'm unable to reproduce your issue.

Using a clean Windows Sandbox I download and extract FlareSolverr, run the example PS command, and I get normal output. Stopping FlareSolverr, setting headless=false, starting FlareSolverr again, and rerunning the script, I still get normal output.

Can you provide debug FS logs of the issue?
