Hi,

Most likely chrome binary didn't launch properly on your target system (for whatever reason).

Try to enable verbose logging for chromedriver service[1] and inspect chromedriver log.

I'm no selenium/chromedriver expert, I was just today solving similar problems while trying to run selenium+chromedriver inside a docker container, the log revealed some library incompatibility:

Hi Dinesh

  I believe the problem is

myDriver.close();

Since close is used(twice) which will close the browser(at fist ooccurence) and after that, there are statements which are performing operations when the browser is already closed. So we get an error that session does not exist since the browser is already closed.

If the browser is closed then use exit to come out of the program so no execution of java statements take place.

Hi Gaurav,

May be too late to reply...but never mind...

I too had the same problem.

use driver.quit();

[nikhil.sal...@gmail.com]

yes Gaurav you are right.
