I need to run Selenium Java tests with Maven.  
My config.yml is :

```auto

version: 2.1

jobs:
  # Below is the definition of your job to build and test your app, you can rename and customize it as you want.
  Run On DEV Login:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/openjdk:11.0
    steps:
      # Checkout the code as the first step.
      - checkout

      # Use mvn clean and package as the standard maven build phase
      - run:
          name: Build
          command: mvn -B -DskipTests clean package
      # Then run your tests!
      - run:
          name: Test
          command: mvn test -Denv=DEV -DtestngXML='login.xml' 
      - store_test_results:
          path: target/surefire-reports
      - store_artifacts:
          path: target/surefire-reports

  Run On DEV SignUp:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/openjdk:11.0
    steps:
      # Checkout the code as the first step.
      - checkout

      # Use mvn clean and package as the standard maven build phase
      - run:
          name: Build
          command: mvn -B -DskipTests clean package
      # Then run your tests!
      - run:
          name: Test
          command: mvn test -Denv=DEV -DtestngXML='signUp.xml' 
      - store_test_results:
          path: target/surefire-reports
      - store_artifacts:
          path: target/surefire-reports

# Invoke jobs via workflows
# See: https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/configuration-reference/#workflows
workflows:
  test: # This is the name of the workflow, feel free to change it to better match your workflow.
    # Inside the workflow, you define the jobs you want to run.
    jobs:
      - Run On DEV Login
      - Run On DEV SignUp

But I have got errors:

```auto

My ChromeDriver settings:

        options.addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
        options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
        options.addArguments("--headless");
        options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");

```

Could you, please, help me resolve this issue?

Hello

You can rerun any job with SSH to run a command to help identify where the issue is occurring.

Please see our guide below:

> **[How to rerun a job with SSH](https://support.circleci.com/hc/en-us/articles/5170139355547-How-to-rerun-a-job-with-SSH)**
>
> To help debug issues with jobs you are able to rerun a job with an SSH session.

Would it be possible to try one of our browser `openjdk` images which you can search for using the link below:

> **[cimg/openjdk - CircleCI](https://circleci.com/developer/images/image/cimg/openjdk)**
>
> A Java Docker image built to run on CircleCI that contains prebuilt openjdk binaries and tools maven and gradle

I would also recommend removing any caching to check if it stops the issue from occurring.

If the issue is still ongoing please feel to update me and I will be happy to continue to investigate.

If possible can you please post a link to a build.

Kind Regards  
Owen Oliver
