Selenium NoSuchSession on linux

Question

i tried to run selenium tests created on windows machine. I change driver to linux version. Added it to PATH. But every time i got

org.selenium.NoSUchSessionException

i use latest browser with latest driver

I define driver it like that :

public class AuthTestSteps {
private static WebDriver driver;
private static WebDriverWait wait;
@Given("^blah_blah$")
public void method() throws MalformedURLException{

    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","chromedriver");
}

Solution:

im my case solution was adding driver manager and options to chrome like "--no-sandbox", because it was run from root user.

While executing Selenium Tests you need to pass the absolute path of the WebDriver binary first through System.setProperty() line then initialize the Web Browser as follows :

public class AuthTestSteps 
{
    private static WebDriver driver;

    @Given("^blah_blah$")
    public void method() throws MalformedURLException
    {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/path/to/chromedriver");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }
}

Use absolute path of chrome driver. change your code like this.

public class AuthTestSteps {
private static WebDriver driver;
private static WebDriverWait wait;
@Given("^blah_blah$")
public void method() throws MalformedURLException{

    // assuming that your chrome driver is located inside
    // your project(src/main/resources/browser_driver/chromedriver)
    // take absolute path for chrome driver
    File file = new File("src/main/resources/browser_driver/chromedriver");
    String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();

    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", absolutePath);
}

Nope, i was tryed this way, but it doesn't help. Still same error — Anton, Mar 02 '18 at 09:33
