Cannot run chrome driver on ubuntu 16.04

[fedika]

Dear Serenity,

Currently, I have setup Jenkins on Ubuntu 16.04, then I also have made job to run Serenity BDD. But I have a problem which not happened on my local notebook (Windows), this Serenity BDD run properly on my local notebook. The problem is the driver is not executable on Ubuntu 16.04. I downloaded chromedriver for linux64 from here. I also have tried with chromedriver for linux 32bit and 64bit, but none of them works...

This is error log:

[pool-1-thread-1] ERROR net.serenitybdd.core.Serenity - TEST FAILED AT STEP Open EC site [pool-1-thread-1] ERROR net.serenitybdd.core.Serenity - Could not instantiate new WebDriver instance of type class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver (The driver is not executable: /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/STG-MobileWeb-SerenityCucumber/chromedriver

Here is my POM.xml

    <properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <serenity.version>1.5.7</serenity.version>

This is my serenity.properties (placed in the root of my project directory, same location as pom file):

webdriver.driver = chrome
webdriver.chrome.driver = chromedriver

serenity.project.name = Automated Testing Mobile Web

Does anyone ever faced this problem?

Thank you :)

Can you run chromedriver from the command line on the Jenkins box? Is it on the path? A simple process to do this is: 1) Copy the chromedriver binary to /usr/local/bin 2) Make it executable:

chmod +x /path/to/chromedriver

By the way, http://serenity-bdd.rocket.chat is a better forum for this kind of question.
