I am getting error java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when trying to run the project

Question

To start with the project is working fine before and recently I got new computer in my office where I need to configure eclipse and selenium from the beginning. So I downloaded new versions and tried to execute the existing project. Then I stat getting errors. When I use the selenium standalone server 3.0.1 jar file I get following error

Starting ChromeDriver 2.21.371459 (36d3d07f660ff2bc1bf28a75d1cdabed0983e7c4) on port 19354

Based on these error messages:

java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified

.

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Failed to create temporary file for /com/sun/jna/win32-x86-64/jnidispatch.dll library: Access is denied

it looks like Eclipse is trying to create temporary files but can't. Try running Eclipse with elevated privileges (i.e. Run as Administrator) and see if you still get the same error messages.

Thanks for the response. After running as admin I am able to proceed further and got the browser opened but I got another error saying Chromedriver.exe stopped working. When I try as a new project the browser is working fine. The existing project is not working – Vin Jan 19 '17 at 20:04

After doing some research I am able to run the code with no errors. The solution I did was created new java class and named same as the old class followed by 1. And copied the code to new class. I refereed the new class name where ever the code is using and removed the old class from the project package. For Chromedriver.exe stopped working issue I found there are more than one chromedriver instance in my task manager and ended all instances. That helped me to run smoothly.

I am getting error java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when trying to run the project
