Hi All,

I get UnsupportedDriverException exception during JBehave + Serenity project execution on local Jenkins. Maven command on Jenkins job:
clean compile integration-test -Dfun.scanner.stories=stories/search_for_euro_cup_participants.story serenity:aggregate (the same behaviour without serenity:aggregate).

Chrome: 52.0.2743.82 (64-bit)
Jenkins: 2.15
Java: 1.8
Maven: 3.3.9
chromedriver: 2.22.397932

Path to google chrome is set in environment variables.

The same maven command execution goes smooth via IDEA (chrome instance is created successfully, story is passed, etc.).
Exception (on Jenkins ONLY):

13:50:08.969 [pool-1-thread-1] ERROR n.t.core.webdriver.WebDriverFacade - FAILED TO CREATE NEW WEBDRIVER_DRIVER INSTANCE class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver: Could not instantiate class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

System property regarding driver and browser are set (different cases've been tested):

1. Via EnvironmentVariables -> environmentVariables.setProperty(propertyName, localPropertyValue)

DEBUG FunScannerProperties - System property webdriver.driver was successfully added, --> chrome
DEBUG FunScannerProperties - System property webdriver.chrome.driver was successfully added, --> drivers/chromedriver

2. Properties are specified in serenity.properties.xml:

#--------- WebDriver configuration ------------------------------------
#webdriver.driver=firefox
webdriver.driver=chrome
#webdriver.driver=phantomjs
webdriver.chrome.driver=drivers/chromedriver

restart.browser.each.scenario=true
webdriver.timeouts.implicitlywait=5000
story.timeout.in.secs=2000
serenity.take.screenshots=FOR_FAILURES
serenity.verbose.steps=false
serenity.report.show.manual.tests=false
untrusted.certificates=true
serenity.timeout=15000

serenity.reports.show.step.details=false

3. As Jenkins job properties:

webdriver.chrome.driver=/drivers/chromedriver
webdriver.driver=chrome

Nothing helps.

Any ideas regarding this issue?

Thanks a lot,
Bogdan

setting driver properties in pom.xml doesn't work also

That's odd!  Is chrome installed to the default location?  Does it start from a regular project without Selenium?  Can you also try dropping:
<dependency>
            <groupId>net.serenity-bdd</groupId>
            <artifactId>serenity-junit</artifactId>
            <version>${serenity.version}</version>
        </dependency>

from your pom.xml?

Hi Harry,

Thanks for your response.

1) Chrom is installed to the default location.

root@bogdan-Inspiron-3737:~# which google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome
root@bogdan-Inspiron-3737:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/bogdan/Soft/Maven/apache-maven-3.3.9/bin:/home/bogdan/Soft/jdk/java-8-oracle/bin

2) serenity-junit dependency dropping doesn't help.

3) What do you mean "regular project without Selenium"? Chrome starts even within current project (if I run it through Intellij IDEA).

All looks good on that front.

Try adding the path to Chromedriver to your PATH and drop webdriver.chrome.driver=drivers/chromedriver

Same issue.
Could you tell me if there is some Serenity Jira (with free access for defect creation)? Because it seems that defect should be raised. I've spent a week trying to find out the way to solve it, but still no answer.
Thanks

Issues are tracked on Github (https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-core/issues). However this sounds more like a WebDriver/Maven configuration issue than a Serenity one (since the version of Chrome you are using runs in your IDE). Can you run the tests from the command line on your local machine?

Tests are run successfully from the command line on my local machine (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).
Any thoughts? I'm at an impasse for now...

I've solved the issue finally. I execute jobs in headless mode.

Xvfb Jenkins plugin helped me. It starts before build, and stops after the build the Xvfb virtual framebuffer X11 server.

Hey,

Could you able to get this work with Chrome driver itself ?

Thanks in advance.

This appears to be a chromedriver or OS-related issue, rather than a Serenity issue (most of the Serenity integration tests run on Chrome).

Thanks John,

This is related to bad configuration in jenkins from my side.

I had mvn clean and install step before running 

mvn -e clean verify -Dautomation.email="xxxx" -Dautomation.password="xxx" -Drun.parallel=true -Dwebdriver.remote.url=http://xxx.xx.x.xx:4444/wd/hub -Dwebdriver.remote.driver=chrome -Dwebdriver.remote.os=LINUX

After removing mvn clean and install , it's working fine.
