Troubleshooting
Chrome debug port not ready
If a script fails with
Chrome debug port not ready
or
, kill existing Chrome CDP instances first, then retry:
bash
pkill -f "Chrome.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; pkill -f "Chromium.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; sleep 2
Important: This should be done automatically — when encountering this error, kill Chrome CDP instances and retry the command without asking the user.
