Selenium chromedriver 2.27.440174 don't run the Google Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m

Question

I have a Google Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m and selenium.version 3.0.1.

Chrome.exe based in C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application

pom file

    <selenium.version>3.0.1</selenium.version>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>${selenium.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-remote-driver -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
        <version>${selenium.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-chrome-driver -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>
        <version>${selenium.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-firefox-driver</artifactId>
        <version>${selenium.version}</version>
    </dependency>

I run the code

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    driver.get("http://www.google.com/xhtml");
    Thread.sleep(5000);  // Let the user actually see something!
    WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
    searchBox.sendKeys("ChromeDriver");
    searchBox.submit();
    Thread.sleep(5000);  // Let the user actually see something!
    driver.quit();

And have a error

Process finished with exit code 1

I also tried the versions and got error

1. Google Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m 64 bit
2. Google Chrome 54
3. Google Chrome 53 x64 and x86
4. Google Chrome 51 x64 and x86

Tell me what could be the reason?

Answer 1

I get NoSuchSessionException when the Chrome executable cannot be found; in fact {message=chrome not reachable seems to indicate just that.

I have the Chrome exe in the same location as you (C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe version 55.0.2883.87 m, ChromeDriver v2.25, Selenium 3.0.1, on Windows 8.1) and in my case the exe is found without having to specify its path (it's the "default location", see here) so I would expect it was found also in your case, but my tests don't use a pom file or Maven.

You might try to set the Chrome path explicitly, as you can see here under Using a Chrome executable in a non-standard location, if anything to rule out the executable location as the cause. That would be:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");
ChromeDriver browser = new ChromeDriver(options);
