The error says it all :

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/html/body/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]"}

Seems WebDriver instance is unable to locate the WebElement and you may require to induce some WebDriverWait for the element to be visible as follows :

String S1 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//h2[normalize-space()='Registered Succesfully']//following::td[2]"))).getAttribute("innerHTML");

Here you can find a detailed discussion on NoSuchElementException

Update A :

As per your comment now you are seeing the following error :

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: chrome not reachable (Session info: chrome=63.0.3239.132) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120 (e3e53437346286c0bc2d2dc9aa4915ba81d9023f),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 4.01 seconds Build info: version: '2.47.1', revision: '411b314', time: '2015-07-30 02:56:46' *** Element info: {Using=xpath, value=//h2[normalize-space()='Registered Succesfully']//following::td[2]}

The main reason is the binaries you are using are not compatible as :

You are using chromedriver=2.33
Release Notes of ChromeDriver=2.33 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v60-62

Your Chrome Browser version is 63.x

So there is a clear mismatch between ChromeDriver and Chrome Browser

Solution

Upgrade your ChromeDriver to recent ChromeDriver=2.35 level.
As per the Release Notes of ChromeDriver=2.35 upgrade your Chrome Browser to Chrome v62-64 levels.
If your base Chrome Browser version is too old uninstall Chrome Browser through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent released GA version of Chrome Browser
Execute your Tests

Update B :

As per your comment as you are seeing the error as :

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: chrome not reachable (Session info: chrome=64.0.3282.167) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.35.528161 (5b82f2d2aae0ca24b877009200ced9065a772e73),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 4.01 seconds Capabilities [{applicationCacheEnabled=false, rotatable=false, mobileEmulationEnabled=false, networkConnectionEnabled=false, chrome={chromedriverVersion=2.35.528161

You are using Selenium Version 2.47.1 (released 2015-07-30 02:56:46) [as per the error stack trace within your question]
So the time gap between the release of Selenium Version 2.52.0 and ChromeDriver=2.35 is almost 3 Years and are incompatible. Hence ChromeDriver is unable to spawn the new Chrome Browser process.

Solution

Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.9.1
You can find a detailed discussion in Chromedriver frequently hangs when attempting to start a new session. Chrome not reachable

Sorry but this isnt helping as well, getting below errors: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: chrome not reachable (Session info: chrome=63.0.3239.132) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120 (e3e53437346286c0bc2d2dc9aa4915ba81d9023f),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 4.01 seconds Build info: version: '2.47.1', revision: '411b314', time: '2015-07-30 02:56:46' *** Element info: {Using=xpath, value=//h2[normalize-space()='Registered Succesfully']//following::td[2]} — B Gupta, Feb 15 '18 at 08:18
Did what you mentioned. it didnt work:- org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: chrome not reachable (Session info: chrome=64.0.3282.167) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.35.528161 (5b82f2d2aae0ca24b877009200ced9065a772e73),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 4.01 seconds Capabilities [{applicationCacheEnabled=false, rotatable=false, mobileEmulationEnabled=false, networkConnectionEnabled=false, chrome={chromedriverVersion=2.35.528161 — B Gupta, Feb 15 '18 at 13:44
Can you update the question with your current code block and the complete stack trace for analysis? — undetected Selenium, Feb 15 '18 at 13:47
Have a question, how did you find "//h2[normalize-space()='Registered Succesfully']//following::td[2]" x path, i mean which element did you inspect. — B Gupta, Feb 16 '18 at 06:27
Thanks your solution worked after selenium compatibility check, am bale to get the output pretty well after the wait and correct Xpath. — B Gupta, Feb 19 '18 at 07:01

Looks like you are using absolute Xpath and webdriver is not able to locate element using it. You can try with this Xpath :

By.xpath("//h2[text()='Registered Succesfully']//following::tr[1]/td[1]"));

You are missing form tag which contains table inside it.

You can use this XPATH :-

String S1= driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/form/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/input")).getText();

or //td[text()='Customer Name']/following-sibling::td/input

are you sure you can take input field value before submitting it ? – Ankur Singh Feb 15 '18 at 08:54
Sorry but am fairly new to automation and programming.Not sure what you are referring to, i believe am trying to take input value after submitting it from the "Registered successfully" page. I was trying to create the process of getting the output in a text file by simplest possible way without complicating it for a new learner like me. – B Gupta Feb 15 '18 at 09:23

The others already said everything. I just want to add: when you have such an error, it is really helpful to check if the xpath of the element is correct. I found this answer that explains really good how: How to verify an XPath expression in Chrome Developers tool or Firefox's Firebug?

Firefox

Either select "Web Console" from the Web Developer submenu in the Firefox Menu (or Tools menu if you display the menu bar or are on Mac OS X)

or press the Ctrl+Shift+K (Command+Option+K on OS X) keyboard shortcut.

In the command line at the bottom use the following:

$(): Returns the first element that matches. Equivalent to document.querySelector() or calls the $ function in the page, if it exists.

$$(): Returns an array of DOM nodes that match. This is like for document.querySelectorAll(), but returns an array instead of a NodeList.

$x(): Evaluates an XPath expression and returns an array of matching nodes.

Don't just copy (parts of) answers written by someone else. – Mark Rotteveel Feb 15 '18 at 10:40 — Mark Rotteveel, Feb 15 '18 at 10:40
