Answer 1

I think you need to install chrome in your instance. for that you follow this basic commands

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install ./google-chrome-stable_current_*.rpm

google-chrome &

Answer 2

I ran the following command to install chromedriver and it worked:

brew cask install chromedriver

Answer 3

It is possible that chrome is installed on your AppData (especially if your are on Windows 7). I am guessing Jenkins could not access the binary from your user directory. Make sure the directory you have Chrome on, is accessible to Jenkins, or try reinstalling chrome again to program files directory.

On the other hand, you can simply instruct Chromedriver where to look for Chrome Binary,

ChromeOptions chromeOptions= new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.setBinary("C:\\ThePAthtoChrome.exe");

ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

Answer 4

I just check my chrome version (chrome://settings/help(85.0.4183.83 )) and then downloaded chromedriver.exe accordingly (https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads)and given new chrome driver.exe path...-This solves my same issue

Answer 5

This code i tried it solved my one week unresolved problem,

Thanks to Aastha Chopra..

ChromeOptions chromeOptions= new ChromeOptions(); chromeOptions.setBinary("C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe"); System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\STUDY\Selenium\CHROMEDRIVERS\chromedriver.exe");

ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions); driver.get("http://newtours.demoaut.com/");

Mac users, Please make sure that chromeBinary file is placed at bin folder and chrome if it is in downloads move it to application.
