A window appears after launch and immediately disappears, I can not understand what's wrong. Google except for the latest version, selenium is also set to the LATEST parameter (nothing changes with a specific version).

Error:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Message:  Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: session not created

Code:

Update your chromedriver version, it seems your your browser and browser current driver version aren't same.

  • I downloaded the latest version namely 100.0.4896.20, need some other one? – Dmitriy N Mar 22 '22 at 16:53
  • I installed it before the last one and now it loads the site, but everything automatically closes automatically now exitcode 0 instead of 1 – Dmitriy N Mar 22 '22 at 17:04

This error message...

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Message:  Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: session not created:
.
Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. session.

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

  • You are using chrome=99.0
  • Release Notes of ChromeDriver v99.0 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 99

  • But your chromedriver version is not getting detected.

Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

  • Your JDK version 1.8.0_281 is also old and ancient.

So most possibly there is a mismatch between jdk version, chromedriver version and the chrome=99.0

Solution

Ensure that:

If some one is on linux,

some distros install /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable, web driver manager tries to retry the version of chrome with the command

/usr/bin/google-chrome --version

Since that bin does not exists, is going to fail; The solution is very simple just a simbolic link to google-chrome

# ln -s /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable /usr/bin/google-chrome

More than an answer this continues with the question.

I'm using serenity-bdd with the following characteristics:

  • Ubuntu: 22.04.1
  • Google-Chrome: 106.0.5249.103
  • Chrome driver: 106.0.5249.61

And the generated message error is:

<<< ERROR!
net.thucydides.core.webdriver.DriverConfigurationError: Could not instantiate class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver
Caused by: net.thucydides.core.webdriver.DriverConfigurationError: 
Could not instantiate new WebDriver instance of type class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver (Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally.
  (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
  (The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Was trying with different driver combinations and none of them are working. Funny enough when i run on windows with the same configuration all works.

  • After long looking finally it is working, the solution was to define correctly the switches for chrome into the serenity.conf as follows: chrome { switches = """--start-maximized;--test-type;--no-sandbox;--ignore-certificate-errors;--disable-popup-blocking;--disable-default-apps;--disable-extensions-file-access-check;--incognito;--disable-infobars,--disable-gpu""" capabilities.acceptInsecureCerts = true } Before the program couldn't identify the way to run it and that's why it was producing the error. – JRod Dec 06 '22 at 13:34

I resolved this issue by simply removing the old_chrome program stored in the Temp folder
C:\Users\<Your User>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Temp\scoped_dir

In short, you need to install the previous version of the web driver with such a problem
