I am using Selenium Webdriver, with Ruby 32-bit 1.9.3, Chromedriver v2.9.248315, Chrome 38.0.2125.111 m and a local instance of Jenkins 1.588
Gems: cucumber (1.3.17), selenium-webdriver (2.43.0), watir-webdriver (0.6.11) (can provide list of all others if you think necessary)
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit edition.
When running a Jenkins job which starts Chrome using chromedriver and then trying to interact with it I get a timeout error. When doing the same on my desktop via a command prompt window it works perfectly. Running the same Jenkins job, starting Firefox instead of Chrome it works perfectly.
Simple example (C:\test.rb):
require 'watir-webdriver' require 'selenium-webdriver' client = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new $browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :http_client => client $browser.driver.manage.window.maximize $browser.close
Jenkins job configured to run Windows Batch Command:
cd \ ruby test.rb
The output when I run the job:

I have tried enabling "Allow service to interact with desktop" in the Jenkins service, then watching the window (in a more complex scenario) and the Chrome window opens, but does nothing. I originally had the problem with "$browser.cookies.clear" and after commenting out that line I now have the same problem with the line $browser.driver.manage.window.maximize
I was running complex cucumber scenarios with no trouble using Chromedriver. Then I had my PC rebuilt and after installing Jenkins, Ruby, Chromedriver (adding both to PATH) and copying the old jobs into my new Jenkins installation I had the above problem. I then created the simple example above, tested it and created this post.
If anyone has any ideas about how I can get Chromedriver working again that would be great.
