org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: session not created exception

Question

I\'m trying to run some Selenium tests using the ChromeDriver, and I started getting this error:

Starting ChromeDriver 2.23.409699 (49b0fa931cda1caad0ae15b7d         


        

Answer 1

You will get this error when your code looks like below:

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\driver\\chromedriver.exe");

You have to setProperty first and then create driver instance next

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\driver\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
