Answer 1

Issue might be due to your chrome driver.Get the chrome driver and set the path in your code and try your code again.Let me know if you are able to overcome this issue.
Use the below link to get latest version of chrome driver(2.33)
From google:
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
[OR]
From Selenium downloads:
http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/

Answer 2

After some experimentation, I'd agree about ensuring that the chromedriver executable is on your path. You may find that the setting of the system property may be unnecessary.

Answer 3

I don't see any such error in your code.
The error you are observing is because of the Versioning mismatch. You are using Selenium v3.6.0 and chromedriver v2.3 (which is pretty old) and are not compatible.
Solution:
As you are working with the latest version of Selenium i.e. v3.6.0, I would suggest you to use either chromedriver v2.32 or the latest chromedriver v2.33

Answer 4

you are using very old version of ChromeDriver so that it is not compatible with Selenium jars 3.6.0 and browser , use updated ChromeDriver and these issue is resolved.
This issue occurred when your ChromeDriver doesn't support the Browser. Download Latest ChromeDriver from this Link.
or
You can degrade the Chrome browser which is compitable with ChromeDriver 2.31

Answer 5

Update your Chrome Driver to the latest one
