Selenium 3 Grid in Java: SessionNotCreatedException for Chrome

[Erando89]

Hi there!
Using Selenium 3 I am not able to run tests in my grid using Chrome. Here's my setup:

@Before
public void setUp() {

    this.baseUrl = Config.getProperty("WEBAPP.PATH");

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\chromedriver.exe");

    DesiredCapabilities chromeCaps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
    chromeCaps.setVersion("54.0.2840.99");
    this.driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(SELENIUM_GRID_URL), chromeCaps);

}

Here's my node's config:

{
  "capabilities":
  [
    {
      "browserName": "firefox",
      "maxInstances": 5,
      "seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"
    },
    {
      "browserName": "chrome",
      "maxInstances": 5,
      "seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver",
      "webdriver.chrome.driver": "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe",
      "browser-version": "54.0.2840.99"
    },
    {
      "platform": "WINDOWS",
      "browserName": "internet explorer",
      "maxInstances": 1,
      "seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"
    }
  ],
  "proxy": "org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy",
  "maxSession": 5,
  "port": 5555,
  "register": true,
  "registerCycle": 5000,
  "hub": "http://localhost:4444"
}

But the exception when calling the RemoteWebDriver constructor is always:

g.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create new remote session. desired capabilities = Capabilities [{browserName=chrome, version=54.0.2840.99, platform=WIN10}], required capabilities = Capabilities [{}]

    at de.myproject.SeleniumTest.setUp(SeleniumTest.java:71)

I also tried altering the node config like this:

"webdriver.chrome.driver": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\chromedriver.exe"

Always the same error...

Versions:

selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar
selenium-java-3.0.1.jar
selenium-chrome-driver-3.0.1.jar
selenium-remote-driver-3.0.1.jar
selenium-api-3.0.1.jar
jdk1.8.0_112

Grid running on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Thanks for helping me out!

Please try the following.

• Open a command prompt and type echo %PATH%.
• Make a note of the path contents and have your chromedriver binary (chromedriver.exe and not chrome.exe) in one of the directories that are part of your PATH variable.
• Now drop the attribute "webdriver.chrome.driver": "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe", from your node config and try again.

Thanks & Regards
