org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: chrome not reachable

Question

Trying to do some training Java Selenium testing, and I'm having trouble running the web driver... My code is very simple and yet, it won't work. I'm working on macOS Sierra Version 10.12.3 .

My code is :

import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.junit.Assert;

/**
 * Created by wizzz-mac on 08/02/2017.
 */
public class FirstTest {

    @Test
    public void startWebDriver(){
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users/wizzz-mac/Downloads/chromedriver");
        WebDriver wd = new ChromeDriver();
        System.out.println(wd.getTitle());
        wd.close();
        wd.quit();
    }
}

And this is the pom.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

    </dependencies>
</project>

And this is the error I get :

I think that the problem is the part below:

Do you have the latest version of the chromedriver? If not, try updating it. — Thibstars, Feb 09 '17 at 12:38
if you can see, iv'e set the property of the chrome driver to be the newest chromedriver which i downloaded from the internet. so it's not seems to be the problem — Ori Wiesel, Feb 09 '17 at 13:25
And does your browser open correctly? If not, this might be a duplicate issue of this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25080500/when-running-webdriver-with-chrome-browser-getting-message-only-local-connect — Thibstars, Feb 09 '17 at 14:01

The other answers did not resolve the problem - my solution is pretty simple: I just reinstalled Chrome (not chromedriver) and - it works.

Sure. Besides: consider cleaning up no-longer needed comments. – GhostCat Aug 09 '17 at 12:19

if you are running this within docker,you might need to pass docker run command

--privileged

i'm not using docker, a simple selenium test that runs on Intellij on mac os, nothing else... – Ori Wiesel Feb 09 '17 at 13:26

Basically this error is shown when there is a initialization problem with the driver with we interact. Change it to.

 System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "\\Users\\wizzz-mac\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");

When referring to file paths in Java on Windows, you can use either doubled backslash or forward slash. The java.io.File class takes either one. However, this is for MacOSX, so, forward slashes are what's needed. Besides, on Windows it would have had a drive letter. – jkeatley Oct 18 '21 at 19:16
