Problem installing and running Selenium WebDriver using Java on a Mac

I'm trying to install and run Selenium WebDriver using Java on a Mac. My favourite IDE is IntelliJ IDEA. When I try this:
public class TestImplWithoutWebDriverManager implements TestingConstants
{
static public void main(String... args)
{
String chromeDriverLibPath = "./lib/chromedriver";
File chromeDriverLib = new File(chromeDriverLibPath);
System.out.println(chromeDriverLib.exists());
System.out.println(chromeDriverLib.canRead());
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverLibPath);
ChromeDriver chromeDriver = new ChromeDriver();
chromeDriver.navigate().to(MyTestHomePage);
}
}
I get this error message:
true
true
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

What am I missing out?

INFO: HTTP Status: '404' -> incorrect JSON status mapping for 'unknown error' with GeckoDriver, Firefox and Selenium through Java

when I run selenium WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver () shows error, it imports all the libraries it requires but it still reproduces the error
package prueba;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class Prueba {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
}
}
when I run with Firefox driver () it shows the following error

...implies that the GeckoDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new WebBrowsing Session i.e. Firefox Browser session.
As you are using Selenium v3.x, ideally you should download the latest version of GeckoDriver from mozilla/geckodriver, extract and provide the absolute path of the GeckoDriver through the line System.setProperty() as follows:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/path/to/geckodriver");
However, your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:
Your Selenium Client version is 3.8.1 of 2017-12-01T19:05:14.666Z which is almost a year older.
Your JDK version is 1.8.0_131 which is pretty ancient.
Your GeckoDriver version is unknown to us.
Your Firefox version is unknown to us.
So there is a clear mismatch between the JDK v8u131 , Selenium Client v3.8.1.
Solution
Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u191.
Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.14.0.
Upgrade GeckoDriver to GeckoDriver v0.23.0 level.
GeckoDriver is present in the specified location.
GeckoDriver is having executable permission for non-root users.
Upgrade Firefox version to Firefox vv63.0.1 levels.
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
Take a System Reboot.
Execute your Test as a non-root user.
Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.

I think you are missing the following:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", firefox driver path);

I fixed this by downloading the latest version geckodriver-v0.26.0-win64\geckodriver.exe

The error WebDriverException: org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to localhost:8970 can occur due to different reasons.
More over there is a discrepency in your Included Library list as selenium-server-standalone-3.7.1.jar is never a part of downloaded selenium-java-3.7.1.zip.
Try out the steps mentioned below:
From the Included Library list remove all the jars.
Download and Add only selenium-server-standalone-3.7.1.jar from this link or from this link
Ensure that /etc/hosts on your system contains the following entry :
1 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
Run CCleaner Tool to wipe away all the OS chores from your system.
You can opt for a System Reboot.
Execute your Test.

I tried with the same versions without any problem.
If the path to the geckodriver:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",
"/usr/local/bin/geckodriver");
is correct, make sure that the geckodriver is executable for the user that execute the code:
chmod +x geckodriver

After doing some research, I manage to resolve this problem.
The error is due to the 127.0.0.1 map to localhost.com in etc/hosts.
Edited:
127.0.0.1 localhost

I think you are missing the .exe extension. Your path should be like this
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",
"/usr/local/bin/geckodriver.exe");

What I've tried:
Changing the SetProperty to path to real path instead of symlink.
That's following additional stack-overflow posts on the issue which suggested the above.
Installing a higher version of Java (using 1.7, installed 1.8).
That's my code, help would be appreciated:
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "//etc//alternatives//google-chrome");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://some url");
driver.quit();
}
}

There are various possibilities for this issue to occured.
Please check the chromedriver is whether 32 bit or 64 bit. It must match with your OS.
OR
It might be the because of folder permission. Please give execute permission to the folder where chromedriver is located.

how to use selenium code in unix

I have a selenium code that uses chromedriver in windows. I have set the chromedriver using following:
ChromeDriverManager.getInstance().setup();
When i execute it in Windows, It works fine.
But when i create a jar for my code and execute it in unix using (java -cp xyz.jar classname). I get following error:
