Unable to create new service: ChromeDriverService - Driver info: driver.version: unknown (InsecureCertificate)

[ayasha88]

Meta -

OS:
Windows 10
Selenium Version:
3.9.1
Browser:
Chrome

Expected Behavior -

get IWebDriver of already opened Chrome browser

Actual Behavior -

Exception

Steps to reproduce -

hub: java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.9.1.jar -role hub -port 4445
node: java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.9.1.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:4445/grid/register

In Visual Studio I have:

IWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new System.Uri("http://localhost:4445/wd/hub"), new ChromeOptions());

but I get the following Exception:

Unable to create new service: ChromeDriverService
Build info: version: '3.9.1', revision: '63f7b50', time: '2018-02-07T22:42:28.403Z'

Driver info: driver.version: unknown (InsecureCertificate)

I have also tried with FirefoxOptions, but same result:

Unable to create new service: GeckoDriverService
Build info: version: '3.9.1', revision: '63f7b50', time: '2018-02-07T22:42:28.403Z'

Driver info: driver.version: unknown (InsecureCertificate)

what did I do wrong?

Thanks a lot.

@barancev We faced the same problem in our case it was caused by manipulating with our . csproj file where tags as Import Project and Target Name were removed

This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is {0}.

Try to re-install chromedriver from nuget

[jimevans]

There are two things wrong with this issue report. First, the reporter states that the expected behavior is to “get IWebDriver of already opened Chrome browser.” This is unsupported by WebDriver in general.

Second is that the node does not have any indication where to find the chromedriver (or geckodriver for Firefox) executable. This needs to be set either by having the executables on the node’s PATH, or by explicitly setting system properties on the node’s command line.

Hey,

Generally I still have exactly the same problem, with configuration as follow:

OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 (introduces itself to Selenium as WIN8)
Chrome: 66.0.3359.181 (latest official, binary location added to system PATH)
ChromeDriver: 2.38 (latest, covers Chrome 65-67, binary location also added to system PATH)
Selenium-standalone-server: 3.9.1 (which also is the latest release)

Launching grid hub and node successfully with commands, configs attached (hub-conf.json.txt, win-node-conf.json.txt)

C:\Users\Administrator>java -jar selenium-node\selenium-server-standalone-3.9.1.jar -role hub -hubConfig selenium-node\hub-conf.json

and

C:\Users\Administrator>java -jar selenium-node\selenium-server-standalone-3.9.1.jar -role node -nodeConfig selenium-node\win-node-conf.json

So, when I run the tests using wdio wdio.conf.json command I get same error in return

$ wdio wdio.conf.js

@jimevans could you also comment? Could it be that latest versions of the selenium-server/browser/driver are incompatible?

Cheers,
Kris.

@szarlatan I can offer no comment on usage with webdriver.io, not because it’s not a good project, but simply because I’ve no experience with it whatsoever. This is doubly so from my current hospital room location without access to my laptop, but only mobile devices at hand. I will point out, however, that 3.9.1 is not the latest Selenium server, but rather 3.12 is (note the version numbers on the download page are sorted lexically, not numerically, so 3.12 does not appear at the bottom of the page).

[szarlatan]

@jimevans obviously you're right about the latest version, my mistake. Will check if 3.12 helps.
Also will double check if the problem is known on WebDriver.io GitHub.

Get well soon!

EDIT: Actually, v.3.12 did help. Using this s-s-s tests work like a charm!

Cheers,
K.

@szarlatan I am facing same issue. Would you able guide me, how you resolved the issue.

Configuration:-
OS - WIN10
Chrome Browser Version:- v66
ChromeDriver- 32 bit
selenium standalone server - 3.12.0

Error:- Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create new service: ChromeDriverService

I tried degrading selenium server to 3.8.1 but still getting same error.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D://SeleniumSoftwaresReq//chromedriver.exe"); String hubURL ="http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"; DesiredCapabilities capabilites = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilites.setBrowserName("chrome"); capabilites.setPlatform(Platform.WIN10); ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true); options.setUnhandledPromptBehaviour(UnexpectedAlertBehaviour.ACCEPT); options.merge(capabilites); RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(hubURL), options); driver.get("https://www.google.com")

@swapniljadhav111
Might be that your system property is defined wrong - I believe it should be

System.setProperty('WebDriver.chrome.driver', 'D:\\SeleniumSoftwaresReq\\chromedriver.exe');

That should help. If not, you can always try to add chromedirver's location to system PATH, and then skip setting the property from the code (I did it that way).

Sorry for not triaging this issue in time, but this is a question rather than an issue. Please send questions to the selenium user group
