Need help or advice.
I can't find a chromedriver 107 for Mac M1. My current Chrome version 107, Selenium doesn't run tests.
Tried to install chromedriver_mac64.zip and chromedriver_mac_arm64.zip
I am using Mac M1 and with the following driver everything works:
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/107.0.5304.62/chromedriver_mac_arm64.zip
Third file from:https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=107.0.5304.62/
Chrome is up to date
Version 107.0.5304.110 (Official Build) (arm64)
I suspect that the problem is related to configuration of the Selenium webdriver path or some security warning from macOS.
If you are hiting on the security warning, you can check this article on how to fix it:
https://thewiredshopper.com/apple-cannot-check-for-malicious-software-error/
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users/myuser/Desktop/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com/");

For compatibility reasons I prefer to use Chrome version 55.0.2883.75 with Chromedriver v. 2.26. I downloaded the older version of chrome from https://www.slimjet.com/chrome/google-chrome-old-version.php and Chromedriver 2.26 from https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.26/.
I am using the following code to attempt to set my Chrome binary location:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = "C:\\Program Files\\Chrome\\chrome64_55.0.2883.75\\chrome.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe', chrome_options = options)
However, when I attempt to launch the WebDriver Python returns the following error:
WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.26.436362
(5476ec6bf7ccbada1734a0cdec7d570bb042aa30),platform=Windows NT 10.0.14393 x86_64)
I have tried searching through similar questions and answers but have not had any luck so far. Any help is greatly appreciated - thank you in advance!
This error message...
WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary
...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to find the Chrome binary in the default location for your system.
As per the ChromeDriver - Requirements:
The server expects you to have Chrome installed in the default location for each system:
OS
Expected Location of Chrome
Linux
/usr/bin/google-chrome1
Mac
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome
Windows XP
%HOMEPATH%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Windows Vista and newer
C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
1 For Linux systems, the ChromeDriver expects /usr/bin/google-chrome to be a symlink to the actual Chrome binary.
Using a Chrome executable in a non-standard location
However you can also override the default Chrome binary location as follows:
To use Chrome version 55.x installed in non standard location through ChromeDriver v2.26 you can use the following code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = "C:\\Program Files\\Chrome\\chrome64_55.0.2883.75\\chrome.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options = options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('http://google.com/')
print("Chrome Browser Invoked")
driver.quit()

Reference
You can find a detailed discussion in:
Is Chrome installation needed or only chromedriver when using Selenium?
What happened to me is that I didn't have chrome, the main browser, installed.
Download the browser and it fixes this issue.
Using an old version of chrome driver with the latest Google Chrome locally gave me the same exception.
Just go to the ChromeDriver page and make sure you have the latest version.
I faced similar issue in MacOS. Even after setting binary path in chromeoptions, it didn't work. It got fixed after installing npm i chromedriver
It is also important to download Chrome from the actual website. I ran into the same problem, but I had downloaded Chrome from the Ubuntu software package manager. I uninstalled the package manager version and installed from the website, and the error resolved. Same issue could probably arise installing from other package managers.
Check https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/getting-started
You can specify the binary path in the constructor of the webdriver:
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/path/to/chromedriver') # Optional argument, if not specified will search path.
I did this to solve my problem
private WebDriver driver;
#Before
public void StartBrowser() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C://opt//WebDriver//bin//chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.saucedemo.com/");}
I have solved this problem by installing Google Chrome link and it solved problem automatically (I use Kali Linux) and be sure that it is installed to the "/usr/bin"(default it is downloaded to here).
We are executing our selenium automation script using jenkins window service(Headless mode) on daily basis .it was working fine till yesterday. suddenly it stopped working and not launching the browser. it shows the below error message [1553677874.187][SEVERE]: Timed out receiving message from renderer: 600.000. after that all the remaining test cases are getting failed.
It is working fine if we run the build using jenkins as without windows service. We are experiencing this issue only with windows as service
My chrome driver version :73.0.3683.68
Chrome browser version :73.0.3683.68
Selenium Version :3.14.0
I have tried to downgrade the browser version and driver version. even though it is not working
I am expecting the browser should launch in the background when we execute using jenkins as windows service but getting error message.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver.exe");

Seems you are using the following configuration:
chromedriver=73.0.3683.68
chrome=73.0.3683.68
Windows OS
John Chen (Owner - chromedriver) recently have confirmed that,
We have confirmed issues with take screenshot when Chrome 73.0.3686.75 is started by a service (such as Jenkins or Task scheduler) on Windows. Please see https://crbug.com/942023 for more details. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this. However, we haven't yet been able to observe similar issue on Linux, so we appreciate any help you can provide to enable us to reproduce the issue on Linux. We don't have access to TeamCity, but we have tested take screenshot using Docker image produced by Selenium (selenium/standalone-chrome:3.141.59-lithium), and didn't find any problems.
Yesterday (Mar 26, 2019), John once again confirmed:
I am aware of some issues with running Chrome 73 from Jenkins. I don't know any workarounds. Please following https://crbug.com/942023 for updates.
Update
We were able to dig up the main issue. The main issue is not with ChromeDriver v73.x as such but with Chrome v73.x and John officially confirms it as:
The root cause is indeed in Chrome 73.x, not in ChromeDriver. We are working with Chrome devs to find a solution.
Solution
A quick fix solution will be to:
Downgrade Chrome Browser to Chrome v72.x
Use a matching ChromeDriver among:
ChromeDriver 2.46
ChromeDriver 72.0.3626.69
Note: If you are using Chrome version 72, please download ChromeDriver 2.46 or ChromeDriver 72.0.3626.69
Ensure that JDK is upgraded to recent level of JDK 8u202.

Update(03-April-2019)
Adding the argument --disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor through an instance of ChromeOptions() seems solves the issue:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://google.com");
Possible problem is that your Google Chrome updated and became incompatible with your Chromedriver. I suggest either getting a new Chromedriver or downgrading your Google Chrome to a previous version and disabling auto updates.
You can verify the required Chromedriver version for your Google Chrome here:
http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
Step 4 of the following link worked for me to disable automatic google Chrome updates.

Add below property(1) before ChromeDriver initialization
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.silentOutput", "true");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
Previously I was using Selenium version 2.53 with Firefox version 46.1. But now Firefox is updated and I am trying to do with updated version.
So, respond me about "which Selenium JAR is compatible with Mozilla Firefox version 52 or, latest version"
To work with Selenium 3.4.0 along with latest gecko driver v0.16.0 & Mozila Firefox 53.0, you need to download the gecko driver from here and save it. Mention the absolute location of gecko driver in your code as follows:
public void sampleMethod()
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("http://your_url.com");
}
No need to Update the selenium jars since your existing tests may not work properly with new selenium jars. Use the gecko driver to interact with firefox.
Add the path to gecko executable before initiating the Webdriver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
which version of firefox do we need for Selenium 3.3.1?? I'm trying to use firefox 51 with selenium 3.3.1 and I'm not able to launch the application please let me know which browser do we need to use for selenium 3.3.1
Firefox 51/52 works well with GeckoDriver 0.15.0 and Selenium 3.3.1. You would need to download correct version of GeckoDriver based on whether Firefox is 32-bit or 64-bit in Windows. Also, you may need to provide Firefox Binary which can be done with FirefoxOptions class.
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setBinary("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
Refer this article for more details - http://www.automationtestinghub.com/selenium-3-0-launch-firefox-with-geckodriver/
To quote the team of geckodriver:
Support is best in Firefox 48 and onwards, although generally the more
recent the Firefox version, the better the experience as they have
more bug fixes and features. We strongly advise using the latest
Firefox Nightly with geckodriver, and want to make it clear that
Firefox 47 and earlier is explicitly not supported. Since Windows XP
support in Firefox will be dropped with Firefox 53, we do not support
this platform.

I have a Windows 32 bit machine.
Selenium WebDriver - 3.4.0, Selenium.Support - 3.4.0
Firefox - 54.0 (32 bit)
GeckoDriver (32 bit) downloaded and stored locally - https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Firefox installed and it's 'firefox.exe' path is provided.
Code to launch Firefox Browser below:
FirefoxDriverService service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(#"C:\GeckoDriver");
service.FirefoxBinaryPath = #"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe";
driverInstance = new FirefoxDriver(service);
How to use Chrome Driver in selenium project? Here am using latest version of Chrome Driver. My code looks like:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", C:\\Users\\....\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32_2.3.zip\\chromedriver.exe");
In 64 bit Windows 7, however I am getting an exception.
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: unable to
discover open pages
I searched in google they provide the solution to replace the latest version of Chrome driver. I tried but not able to solve the issue.
chromedriver_win32 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit machines.
Use the latest chromedriver version; Download it from,
http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.9/
And add the below snippet in your code
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
Can you unzip chromedriver_win32_2.3.zip file and then provide location of ChromeDriver inside unzipped folder ... This should help. Modified code should look like the following:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\Users\....\Downloads\chromedriver_win32_2.3\chromedriver.exe");
