After successfully developing cucumber tests that passed and tested some URLs with Chrome, I encountered errors when uploading to the pipeline despite the tests succeeding. Webdriver generated the following errors:

Despite implementing the configurations recommended on the WebDriver main site and trying various combinations of chromedriverand selenium-standalone settings in wdio.conf.js, the issue persisted:
capabilities: [{
maxInstances: 5,
browserName: 'chrome',
acceptInsecureCerts: true
}],
logLevel: 'info',
baseUrl: '',
waitforTimeout: 10000,
connectionRetryTimeout: 120000,
connectionRetryCount: 3,
services:
[
['selenium-standalone', { drivers: { firefox: '0.29.1', chrome: true, chromiumedge: 'latest' } }],
['chromedriver',
{
logFileName: 'wdio-chromedriver.log',
outputDir: 'driver-logs',
chromedriverCustomPath: './chromedriver.exe'
}]
],
Even after trying to downgrade the chromedriver version and changing docker images in the pipeline, the 'Failed to create session.' error persists. Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue and avoid session creation errors when using Chrome with WebDriver?
