Question

I want to write java web automation code with selenium. Although I have added Chrome.exe to my project, the page I want does not open when I run it. It closes immediately and I don't get any errors.

Answer 1

As what shown in the picture , the driver version is not match with the browser version, I think the solution is : Update your chrome browser or download the right verion of the driver from the below url : https://sites.google.com/chromium.org/driver/home

Answer 2

As per the snapshot your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

• Your JDK version 1.8.0_201 is old and ancient.
• You are using chromedriver=97.0.4692.36
• Release Notes of chromedriver=97.0.4692.36 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 97

• You are using chrome=96.0.4664.110
• Release Notes of ChromeDriver v96.0.4664.45 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 96

So there is a clear mismatch between chrome=96.0.4664.110 and the chromedriver=97.0.4692.36

Solution

Ensure that:

• JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u301.
• Selenium is upgraded to current released Version 3.141.59.
• ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v96.0.4664.45 level.
• Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 96.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v96.0.4664.45 release notes).

Answer 3

Make sure that you are using compatible driver version with the browser you are are automating. As per your image diver is 96 version and chrome is 97 version so issue is happening
