Failed to create session. Chrome failed to start: crashed. DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist for CodeceptJs and Dockerfile

I'm super new to both Docker and CodeceptJs coming from a Selenium/Java background and am trying to run our CodeceptJs tests from within a docker container. However, we get this error and not sure how to bypass it please.

I tried to initiate the Selenium driver under another window (it's not under my project folder) as per here using java -jar selenium.jar but the same issue still persists.

If we were using raw Selenium outside CodeceptJs most answers here talk about setting some options to the ChromeDriver instance, but ChromeDriver configs seem to be abstracted away from me within the CodeceptJs framework so I think I'm a bit stuck now please.

This is our complete Dockerfile and bash script

FROM docker.br.hmheng.io/base-ubuntu:java_1.8.0_74-b02

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive

RUN wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - \

RUN export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle \
    && export HOST=selenium

COPY ./update-catalog-admin/tests/e2e/scripts/start.sh start.sh

RUN chmod 777 start.sh \
    && dos2unix start.sh

And

#!/bin/bash

echo "[INFO] Starting X server"
Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1600x1200x24 2>&1 >/dev/null &
export DISPLAY=:0

cd /project

node -v
npm -v
ls -lsa
npm install
npm test

Running through this command:

docker run -u 500:500 -v /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro -v $(pwd)/update-catalog-admin/tests/e2e:/project:rw  -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm --shm-size=4g update-catalog-e2e-container sh start.sh

And with this codecept.conf.js

exports.config = {
output: './output',
helpers: {
    WebDriver: {
        url: 'https://api.int.br.internal',
        browser: 'chrome'
    },
    AssertWrapper: {
        require: 'codeceptjs-assert',
    },
},

    I: './steps_file.js',
    createNotificationPage: "./pages/create_notifications.page.js",
},

    steps: ['./step_definitions/steps.js']

        services: ['selenium-standalone']
        // additional config for service can be passed here
    },
    screenshotOnFail: {
        enabled: true

    pauseOnFail: {},
    retryFailedStep: {
        enabled: true
    },
},

}

Thank you very much.

We found where to set the ChromeOptions within the codecept.cong.js file and it's working now.
