I had encountered the same issue. The issue got resolved by updating the chromedriverexe. please check the compatibility of your chrome browser with chrome driver here To download chromedriver

An older version of the ChromeDriver is being spun off when the test is being run; to remedy:

  • Ensure that you've gotten your browser up to date (v65-67) and get the latest version of the ChromeDriver executable(v2.38)
  • Extract the ChromeDriver and explicitly set the System property when initializing the ChromeDriver object...

Ex:

  1. System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver.exe");
  2. WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

The error says it all :

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.146)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.27.440174 (e97a722caafc2d3a8b807ee115bfb307f7d2cfd9),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7600 x86_64)

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

  • You are using chromedriver=2.27
  • Release Notes of chromedriver=2.27 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v54-56

  • You are using chrome=65.0
  • Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.36 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v65-66

  • Your Selenium Client version is 3.10.0.
  • Your JDK version is unknown to us.

So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver version (v2.27) and the Chrome Browser version (v65.0)

Solution

  • Upgrade ChromeDriver to ChromeDriver v2.36 level.
  • Keep Chrome version at Chrome v65.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.36 release notes)
  • Clean your Project Workspace and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
  • Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
  • If your base Chrome version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Chrome.
  • Execute your @Test.
