I'm trying to run a simple code from eclipse, but I keep on getting " org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Timed out waiting for driver server to start.". The browser opens, but it fails as the url I intend to open doesn't open.

[Prashansa Gupta]

The browser starts, but it never opens the URL.

I am using Chrome browser (version : 76.0.3809.132), and I have Windows 10.

Can someone please help me with this ?

My code:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class BrowserTest {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe");

System.out.println("System properties set !");

WebDriver  driver = new ChromeDriver();

System.out.println("Chrome driver set !");

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

}

}

The console output:

System properties set !

Opening in existing browser session.

Please change the line 

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe");

and have it point to chromedriver (not chrome browser executable location)

Thanks & Regards
