Failed to read descriptor from node connection: A device attached to the system is not functioning is a Python error which occurs because of a chromedriver problem.
In this article I am going to solve the error while I try explaining why the error is popping up in the first place, I will also introduce some solutions which worked for other developers and we will see if those solutions can solve the error in your unique situation.
Explaining the Error : Failed to read descriptor from node connection: A device attached to the system is not functioning
First of all, the error above can easily be ignored. As it doesn’t block the spawning of the new Browsing Session.
