We are having an issue running a Robot Framework automated test script is executed on a DevOps build pipeline, run on a self-hosted build agent on our windows server and running as a service (using Network services)
We are getting the following error - WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist
The server that has the following version of chromedriver / chrome installed:
ChromeDriver version 95.0.4638.69 installed on the d:\drive (path=D:/Python/Scripts/chromedriver.exe)
Chrome browser version 95.0.4638.69 installed on the c:\drive (path: C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe)
The chromedriver executable path is in the server system environment variable "Path" and appears under "Path" in the self-hosed build agent system capabilities.
The same script can be run successfully on a local computer, when changing the Open Browser keyword with the relevant chrome browser binary and chromedriver executable paths of the local computer.
When we try to run our automation scripts, we are getting the following webdriver error messages and the webdriver does not initiate/spawn a new web browser:

We've gotten Edge to work fine in our test. We're just having lots of issues with Chrome right now.
Thanks
