@SergeyShidlovsky video recorder container logs could help to diagnose. We unfortunately don't have Windows available.

I have the same problem, after disable WSL 2 in docker settings Video recorded works fine.

Logs from container with WSL 2 enabled:
2021/03/03 10:48:04 [17] [VIDEO_ERROR] [Failed to rename /opt/selenoid/video/selenoide9e31f300553f1729bce65fa19dfe109.mp4 to /opt/selenoid/video/Test_Scenario.mp4: rename /opt/selenoid/video/selenoide9e31f300553f1729bce65fa19dfe109.mp4 /opt/selenoid/video/Test_Scenario.mp4: no such file or directory]

@ArysX @SergeyShidlovsky are you installing Selenoid with CM tool?

[SergeyShidlovsky]

@vania-pooh , I apologize for such a late response,

@ArysX @SergeyShidlovsky are you installing Selenoid with CM tool?

Yes, I had installed selenoid using configuration management, Also, I have launched selenoid using the command
'cm.exe selenoid start --vnc'

@ArysX, thanks for the logs

[mvishnevsky]

Have the same issue using docker-compose, videos are not saved.

[vania-pooh]

Seems to be a CM bug. Will investigate.

[SergeyShidlovsky]

@vania-pooh Any updates with this bug?

[benzman81]

Just moved from vagrant and virtualbox to WSL 2. Same error. We use WSL 2 with Rancher Desktop.

[vania-pooh]

We plan to completely deprecate this tool and move to raw Docker commands instead. Too many weird cases to cover.

[benzman81]

@vania-pooh ok, thanks. We now moved to plain docker and videos work as expected.

[SergeyShidlovsky]

@vania-pooh … are you talking about deprecation of Selenoid Configuration Manager Tool?

[vania-pooh]

@SergeyShidlovsky we are considering this.

@benzman81 Hi, could you help me to setup selenoid with Rancher desktop. Currently I am facing issue for selenoid container being in Restarting status. Do you know if you faced this same issue ?

I can share parts of our start script we use for rancher desktop in wsl. Maybe that helps:

You should only need to replace YOUR_PATH_TO_BROWSERS_JSON.
