below are the DesiredCapabilities which I tried using when trying to launch phantomjs driver
ClassLoader classLoader = new BrowserFactory().getClass().getClassLoader();
File phantomJS = new File(classLoader.getResource("drivers/phantomjs").getFile());
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE_PATH_PROPERTY,phantomJS.getAbsolutePath());
String[] cli_args = new String[]{ "--ssl-protocol=tlsv1", "--ignore-ssl-errors=true", "--web-security=false" };
capabilities.setCapability(PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_CLI_ARGS, "--webdriver-loglevel=ERROR");
capabilities.setCapability("takesScreenshot", false);
capabilities.setCapability(PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_CLI_ARGS, cli_args);
capabilities.setCapability("locationContextEnabled", true);
capabilities.setCapability("applicationCacheEnabled", true);
capabilities.setCapability("browserConnectionEnabled", true);
capabilities.setCapability("localToRemoteUrlAccessEnabled", true);
WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver(capabilities);

Phantomjs usage is deprecated. You are using selenium3
The above error occurs may be selenium version may be incompatible to phantomjs driver try a compatible version maybe it works
But I recommend you to go with Chrome headless
I think the existing stack post will help you

Unable to run Headless Chrome Browser on Linux Machine using Selenium Webdriver java

Used Selenium Webdriver(V2.29), selenium-api version(3.4.0), Chrome
Version (62.0.3202.94) 64 bit and tried to run chrome browser in linux machine with the below code.
WebDriver driver;
String chromeBinaryPath = "/data/Package/CHROME_NEW";
String driverPath = "/data/Package/Selenium/WebDrivers/ChromeDrivers/chromedriver_linux32/chromedriver";
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", driverPath);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.verboseLogging","true");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.logfile","/data/Package/log/chromedriver.log");
ChromeOptions optionsLinux64 = new ChromeOptions();
optionsLinux64.setBinary(chromeBinaryPath);
optionsLinux64.addArguments("--headless");
optionsLinux64.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
optionsLinux64.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
optionsLinux64.addArguments("--headless");
driver = new ChromeDriver(optionsLinux64);
When tried to create a chrome session, getting below exception:
unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally (Driver info: chromedriver=2.29.461571 (8a88bbe0775e2a23afda0ceaf2ef7ee74e822cc5),platform=Linux 3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 60.10 seconds Build info: version: '3.4.0', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown' System info: host: 'el4014.bc', ip: '10.120.94.70', os.name: 'Linux', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64', java.version: '1.8.0_151' Driver info: driver.version: ChromeDriver

Can anyone help me in resolving with the above issue.

This should be work:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setHeadless(true);

Try adding window size
optionsLinux64.addArguments("window-size=1024x780");

ChromeDriver needs a Chrome installation?

I have the following code:
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless");
webDriver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
It throws the exception:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "topmenu-gtk-module"
Created new window in existing browser session.

I'm new to this, am I missing something? Should be any other server running in my host?

First of all if you want to use chrome then you need to download it's binary from below URL :-
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/
Now add System.setPropertybefore driver instance
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\Workspace\\JmeterWebdriverProject\\src\\lib\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
Nowif you want to use headless then use phantomjs. It is a stable build with you can use for your headleass jobs. donwload it from below link :-
http://phantomjs.org/download.html
Now add System.setPropertybefore driver instance
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setJavascriptEnabled(true); // not really needed: JS enabled by default
caps.setCapability(PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE_PATH_PROPERTY, "C:/phantomjs.exe");
WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver(caps);

Hope it will help you :)

Selenium webdriver error..It is unable to send keys with selenium webdriver

I am using Selenium Webdriver. I have searched many times and tried every answer in order to successfully testing a case. I am new to test automation.
Problem: There is an error when I use .sendKeys() and also click on some web element. I am really upset about this. I want to go forward with testing. Please help me solve this.
And also it displays an error stating InvalidValueError: initMap is not a function. Previously I have ran this codes successfully.
My setup is a follows:
Firefox 53.0
Eclipse Juno 32bit
Selenium Wevdriver 3.3.1
GeckoDriver 16.0
logger apache-log4j-1.2.17
This is the error:

This is my code:
WebElement element=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='serchkey']"));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='serchkey']")).sendKeys(new String("toy"));

Try this it may work:
WebElement element =driver.findElement(By.id("serchkey"));
javascriptSendKeys(element,"toy");
private void javascriptSendKeys(WebElement yourElement, String yourText){
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)webDriver;
executor.executorScript("arguments[0].value='" + yourText + "';", yourElement);
}

Here is the Answer to your Question:
Great job done by specifying the Test Environment details as:
Selenium Webdriver 3.3.1
GeckoDriver 16.0
Now, if you have a look at the documentation of geckodriver v0.16.0 here, you will find a Heading as: "Note that geckodriver v0.16.0 is only compatible with Selenium 3.4 and greater."
So the solution to your Question is to upgrade your Selenium to 3.4.0 from here.
Let me know if this Answers your Question.

getting error using latest chromedriver 2.28 - disconnected: received Inspector.detached event

Seem to be getting this error waiting for popup window. As I am watching the script execute the js button executes and popup window does open but my test fails with the following error:

This is about chrome issue(https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=1194).
When you are running selenium program, you cannot press F12 to open dev tools manually, or it'll throw this exception sometimes. You can browse this chrome driver official page.
According to the issue list, it looks like fixed, but I still meet this bug in ChromeDriver 2.29.

Try updating your Chrome, I can see that your chromedriver version is 2.28 which is the most recent release and it should support Chrome v55-77, but updating Chrome might be a solution.
