I'm working in E2E testing in an application running inside Electron, to make it able to run in a pipeline in Jenkins I put it in a docker container that is running a windows service (build version 1903) image. The problem is that the chrome driver is crashing inside the container.
I'm using these dependencies (Spectron and electron):
"electron": "^6.0.12",
"spectron": "^8.0.0"
And I'm getting this error:
{ Error: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited normally
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location C:\Users\rvlima\node_modules\spectron\lib\launcher.bat is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Another point is that this works inside a windows container with the version 1803, but unfortunately, I can't use that version because the Jenkins machine is using the last version of Windows (1903).
For anyone who has the same problem, I found a solution.
The problem was that I was using the windows service core image, and it has a problem to render the chromium. So I need to make it work was just change the base image to use the windows client that way I can make it work.
