Urgent : Chrome Browser is crashing when url is about to load

[HariPrasath Varadhan]

CC:  Jonathan Lipps, Isaac Murchie

Dear Appium Followers,

I have been working hard to automate a simple case in chrome but failing to achieve that..

_______________________________________

Environment:

Laptop OS :  MAC OS X 10.9.2

Appium Version : 1.2.2 ( MAC OS X ver)

Chrome Driver : 2.10

chrome apk: 35

Selenium- Java Binding : 2.42.2

Android Emulator: 4.4.2 (API 19)

IDE : Kepler Service Release 2

Project: Java Project

________________________________________

  

Steps to reproduce the Issue:

1. Appium Server Launch ( Appium IDE —> Clicking Launch )
2. Executing as a Java application
3. Chrome Browser Launched —> Junk value (Data is displayed in address bar)
4. Chrome Browser is crashing when url is about to load

________________________________________

Logs:

• Starting ChromeDriver (v2.10.267517) on Only local connections are allowed.Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary

   

 

Sometimes I get this, ( Depending on the l path of the chromdriver I keep)

• Exception in thread "main” java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist:      /Users/tcs/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/build/chromedriver/mac/chromedriver

________________________________________

  

NOTE

• I’m sure ChromeDriver is available in that path
• If I pass 0.0.0.0:9515, Then it throws port is not available so I’m passing 4723
• Very Important: If I remove WebDriver driver1 = new ChromeDriver(); Then its loading url ( Expectation is achieved here but not clicking on web elements

________________________________________

My Code:

public class Test1 {

      

public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {

    WebDriver driver;

 

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/Users/username/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/build/chromedriver/mac/chromedriver");

     DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

     capabilities.setCapability("platformName","Android");              

     capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion","4.4.2");

     capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","Android Emulator");

   

     capabilities.setCapability("browserName","Chrome");

    

     driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),capabilities);

     //driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:9515"),capabilities);

   

     driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

   

     WebDriver driver1 = new ChromeDriver();

     driver1.get("http://google.com");

     driver1.findElement(By.id("gbqfif")).click();

    

     driver1.quit();

   }

}

Do you have Chrome installed on the emulator? What version? Does it work manually?

I would use the Appium Java client rather than the ChromeDriver client library.

    Dear Isaac,

    Where Can I find the Appium Java client.I have multiple link and confussed which one to use.. Pls guide

    Also, For MAC, Is there any separate setup required....?  

[Isaac Murchie]

The repository is here: https://github.com/appium/java-client

The instructions are there. I'm not a Java developer, so I don't know exactly what is needed. 

Have you read through the documentation for setup on Mac? It should explain things. 

[HariPrasath Varadhan]

   Issac,

   Thanks for the above link   

   Can I use webdriver driver = new chromedriver() or skip this... ( Usually we do this in selenium)

    without above line of code, its working fine.. But if I call the above line, it throws could not find chromedriver
