The error suggests that you are missing chrome driver. did you download the chrome driver form here?
Did you add the chrome driver to your path variable
In Windows, goto System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced (Tab) -> Environment Variables
Under System variables, scroll to the Variable named Path -> Edit… (button) -> Variable value ->
Scroll to the end of the field, add a semicolon and append the local path of chromedriver.exe to the
end of the value field. Click OK:
To verify, open the Command Line (Run cmd.exe) -> Type chromedriver ->Hit Enter -> ChromeDriver
Also, restart the selenium standalone hubs and nodes
Let me know if it works
EDIT:
And if you configure your node via a xml file like:
{
"capabilities":
[
{
"browserName": "chrome",
"platform": "WINDOWS",
"maxInstances": 5,
"seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver",
"webdriver.chrome.driver": "C:/Selenium/drivers/chromedriver.exe",
"binary":"C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"
}
"proxy": "org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy",
"maxSession": 5,
"port": 5555,
"register": true,
"registerCycle": 5000,
"hub": "<address to hub>",
"nodeStatusCheckTimeout": 5000,
"nodePolling": 5000,
"role": "node",
"unregisterIfStillDownAfter": 60000,
"downPollingLimit": 2,
"debug": false,
"servlets" : [],
"withoutServlets": [],
"custom": {}
}
Change the webdriver.chrome.driver and binary to your own path.
and the to your hub url
And start your node via:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-<version>.jar -role node -nodeConfig nodeConfig.json
