I'm facing an error in Selenium Java. I don't understand what this means. What does this error mean in Selenium Java?

  • What do you think does *Unable to find executable for: C:\selenium\chrome* mean? There is either no chrome driver installed or it is installed to a different path. That seems to be the root cause of the `SessionNotCreatedException`, which says *Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure*… – deHaar Jun 26 '23 at 08:41

This error message...

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

...implies that Selenium driven ChromeDriver initiated _browsing context failed to open.

Root Cause

Considering Selenium version to be 4.10.0 the java.version 1.8.0_212 is too old and ancient.

Solution

Ensure that:

  • JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u361.
