c:cd C:\Users\Nikhil Udgirkar\workspace\Neon_workspace2\orangehrm

mvn clean test echo Success

Also configured maven and jdk installations in jenkins

The test case execution was supposed to start but it is not starting with run paused after aforementioned line in console. Please help Thanks

This is actually an info message, not an error. See [This Question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25080500/when-running-webdriver-with-chrome-browser-getting-message-only-local-connect). Also you're ChromeDriver is probably outdated. https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html Current Version is **2.46**. Update and try again. — , Mar 25 '19 at 05:59

This error message...

Starting ChromeDriver 2.36.540470 (e522d04694c7ebea4ba8821272dbef4f9b818c91) on port 39673

...implies that the ChromeDriver v2.36 was used to initiate a new Chrome Browser session.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

You are using chromedriver=2.36
Release Notes of chromedriver=2.36 clearly mentions the following:

Supports Chrome v63-65

Possibly you are using the currently released chrome=73.0

So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver v2.36 and the Chrome Browser v73.0

Solution

Upgrade ChromeDriver to ChromeDriver v2.46 level.
Keep Chrome version at Chrome v73 level. (as per ChromeDriver v2.46 release notes)
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
Execute your @Test.
Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.

But when I launch test from testng/pom.xml they run. If there were genuinely issues with drivers the test would not run at all. – nikhil udgirkar Mar 25 '19 at 06:48
It is only when I trigger execution from Jenkins test do not run – nikhil udgirkar Mar 25 '19 at 06:49
Executing a script as _Java Program_, _using TestNG_, as a _TestNG suite_, through _Jenkins_, etc are pretty much different. Though the basic idea and output is identical but the flows are a bit different. – undetected Selenium Mar 25 '19 at 06:53
Okay will try this evening – nikhil udgirkar Mar 25 '19 at 07:01
Updated the driver to both chromedriver 73 and 2.46 but not working – nikhil udgirkar Mar 25 '19 at 15:11

This got resolved after I created a slave. The tests were getting launched as usual and were visible on foreground with chrome browser.
