Upgraded to Selenium 3.7 recently and ran into error.

Error trace log:

  • In most such cases your specific **driver version** doesn't work with the specific **browser version**. Try different versions of both, also read what the devs say about support. It could also get more complicated for different systems like your **Mac**. On my **Raspberry Pi** for example I searched nearly 2 hours for driver-browser version pair that worked. – Zabuzard Nov 11 '17 at 22:02

I had the same issue, on Mac OS. Check your /etc/hosts file and make sure you have 127.0.0.1 binding to localhost. I was missing that, added it and voila!

As you are seeing WebDriverException: Timed out waiting for driver server to start. try the below mentioned steps :

  • Uninstall Google Chrome through Revo Uninstaller.

  • Install the latest version of Google Chrome.

  • Perform some steps on the website so you are sure that the website opens properly.

  • If needed induce Explicit Wait i.e. WebDriverWait

  • I tried with firefox and geckodriver but still running into "Connection refused" error. I don't think it is because of browser issue. – Maggie Nov 11 '17 at 20:02
  • @Maggie What's your ChromeDriver & Geckodriver version, can you update the Question with the version info please? – undetected Selenium Nov 11 '17 at 20:25

Change this

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users/maggie/Documents/ToolsQA/Libs/chromedriver" to "/Users/maggie/Documents/ToolsQA/Libs/chromedriver.exe" and try this

I faced similar issues. Problem was with my ChromeDriver, I downloaded latest stable version and it worked.

Link for ChromeDriver : https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/
