So I managed to get tackle the chrome issue by using WSL's feature to access Windows binaries from Linux and calling the chrome installed to my windows. But the problem I am getting stuck at now is that it isn't able to perform any actions. It opens blank chrome console windows and just sits until it timesout with:

2.1) Failure/Error: visit "/#{user.username}/#{article.slug}/edit"

          Net::ReadTimeout:
            Net::ReadTimeout with #<TCPSocket:(closed)>



          # ./spec/system/articles/user_edits_an_article_spec.rb:20:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'
          # ./spec/rails_helper.rb:85:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
          # ./spec/rails_helper.rb:85:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
          # ./spec/support/initializers/rspec_retry.rb:8:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'

     2.2) Failure/Error: VCR.turned_off { ex.run }

          Net::ReadTimeout:
            Net::ReadTimeout with #<TCPSocket:(closed)>



          # ./spec/rails_helper.rb:85:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
          # ./spec/rails_helper.rb:85:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
          # ./spec/support/initializers/rspec_retry.rb:8:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'

Also a debug.log file is generated in the repo with content:

[0927/164130.672:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(84)] TransactNamedPipe: The pipe has been ended. (0x6D)
[0927/164130.685:ERROR:file_io_win.cc(193)] LockFileEx: Incorrect function. (0x1)

[0927/164230.748:ERROR:file_io_win.cc(193)] LockFileEx: Incorrect function. (0x1)

Seems to be a firewall issue? But disabling windows firewall doesn't allow it through too.

Hey, the issues I was facing got resolved once WSL2 came out. With WSL2, it became possible to install chrome directly to my Linux distro without any problems. I followed the following steps for Ubuntu 18.04 with bash:

sudo apt install fonts-liberation libappindicator3-1 libasound2 libgbm1 libnspr4 libnss3 libxss1 xdg-utils
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
echo 'alias chrome="google-chrome-stable"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you get an error while running dpkg, run sudo apt --fix-broken install after which run the dpkg command again. You can run the following command to test your install:

chrome --headless --disable-gpu --dump-dom https://www.chromestatus.com/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
