UnreachableBrowserException in launching Firefox

[Pavithra lal]

I am facing the exception - Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

I am using Firefox version 53, GeckoDriver 16, Selenium 3.4 in Windows 8 64 bit system. I tried all possible solution in Stackoverflow...Please help me...Am I doing anything wrong with version compatibility...???????????/

This is the code

package TestPackage;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

public class MyClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {

       // declaration and instantiation of objects/variables

    WebDriver driver ;

    System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette","C:\\geckodriver-v0.16.1-win64\\geckodriver.exe");

    driver = new FirefoxDriver();

       String baseUrl = "http://newtours.demoaut.com";

       String expectedTitle = "Welcome: Mercury Tours";

       String actualTitle = "";

       // launch Fire fox and direct it to the Base URL

       driver.get(baseUrl);

       // get the actual value of the title

       actualTitle = driver.getTitle();

       /*

        * compare the actual title of the page with the expected one and print

        * the result as "Passed" or "Failed"

        */

       if (actualTitle.contentEquals(expectedTitle)){

           System.out.println("Test Passed!");

       } else {

           System.out.println("Test Failed");

       }

       

       //close Fire fox

       driver.close();

      

       // exit the program explicitly

       System.exit(0);

   }

}

Try to use this,

"webdriver.gecko.driver" in setProperty
