Unable to load chrome driver failing with Timed out message

[CustosClarus]

I'm using BDD-security

• selenium version 3.12.0
• Java version version 1.8.0_265
• Chrome version (default provided under src/test/resources/drivers/) location
• O/S ubuntu 18.0.4

Error FAILED java.lang.RuntimeException: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Timed out waiting for driver server to start.

Description

I have to spend around 1 week on this troubleshooting but to no success, appreciate assistance/help here. Thanks.

This could be something to do with your environment (OS, JRE etc). You could try to create a new blank java project. Then use the same version of Selenium and try to write a very simple program that just starts web driver with chrome. If that works, then you'll need to troubleshoot in BDD-Security.
What's the config file you're using?

[CustosClarus]

Thanks for reply.

I have made a new application, defined out /example directory, here is the .java. Also loading of driver is done in config.xml and has not been called explicitly in java code anywhere. I have pasted both .java and .config contents below:-

package net.continuumsecurity;

    import net.continuumsecurity.Config;
    import net.continuumsecurity.Credentials;
    import net.continuumsecurity.UserPassCredentials;
    import net.continuumsecurity.behaviour.ILogin;

    import net.continuumsecurity.web.WebApplication;
    import org.openqa.selenium.By;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
    import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;

   public class CustomApplication extends WebApplication implements ILogin,INavigable {

    public  CustomApplication() {
        super();
    //driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    }

    @Override
    public void openLoginPage() {
        driver.get(Config.getInstance().getBaseUrl() + "/login");
        findAndWaitForElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div/form/div[1]/input"));
    }

    @Override
    public void login(Credentials credentials) {
        UserPassCredentials creds = new UserPassCredentials(credentials);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div/form/div[1]/input")).clear();
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div/form/div[1]/input")).sendKeys(creds.getUsername());
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div/form/div[2]/input")).clear();
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div/form/div[2]/input")).sendKeys(creds.getPassword());
        driver.findElement(By.tagName("button")).click();
    }

    // Convenience method
    public void login(String username, String password) {
        login(new UserPassCredentials(username, password));
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isLoggedIn() {
        driver.get(Config.getInstance().getBaseUrl()+"dashboard/11");
        if (driver.getPageSource().contains("test2")) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Logout")).click();
    }

    public void search(String query) {
        //findAndWaitForElement(By.queryEnter("/trend-analysis/tag-search")).click();

        login(Config.getInstance().getDefaultCredentials());

I got it working, by adding

ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions();
opt.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
//opt.setBinary("/usr/bin/google-chrome");
opt.addArguments("--headless") 

    public WebDriver createChromeDriver(DesiredCapabilities capabilities) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", Config.getInstance().getDefaultDriverPath());
        if (capabilities != null) {
            capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
            ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
            options.addArguments("--test-type");
            capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY,options);
            return new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
        } else return new ChromeDriver();

and removing the If block, but now I'm getting error

FAILED
    org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Expected condition failed: waiting for visibility of element located by By.name: user_id (tried for 100 second(s) with 500 milliseconds interval)

[stephendv1]

That's a common selenium error when it can't find the element on the web page. Usually because the element hasn't loaded yet, or the ID is not correct.

Thanks Stephen,

I believe, something is wrong with the implementation of findandwait

I made the changes for google.com and it worked but only when I replaced the function with this

 @Override
    public void openLoginPage() {
        driver.get(Config.getInstance().getBaseUrl() + "/");
      //  findAndWaitForElement(By.name("q"));
driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
    ///Thread.sleep(5000);  // Let the user actually see something!
    WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
    searchBox.sendKeys("ChromeDriver");
    searchBox.submit();
    // Thread.sleep(5000);

}

I was able to crawl the rest of code before that I was getting same error even on google search tag
