Attempting bi-dialect session, assuming Postel's Law holds true on the remote end & Falling back to original OSS JSON using ChromeDriver and Selenium

Below is a snippet of code I'm using to initialize chrome webdriver:
System.out.println("Initializing Chrome");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
//options.setBinary("C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application");
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches",new String[]{"enable-automation"});
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.addArguments("--disable-infobars");
options.addArguments("--allow-running-insecure-content");
WDriver = new ChromeDriver(options);
//WDriver = new ChromeDriver();
WDriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
System.out.println("Chrome Initialization Complete");
But it seems to be opening two instances of chrome, this is displayed on the console:
Initializing Chrome

While the issue is not a major roadblock it is a bit annoying that it opens a 2nd instance of chrome that will eat memory while it is on standby.
Cheers.

There are a couple of things you need to take care:
This error message...
Nov 04, 2019 3:29:38 PM org.openqa.selenium.remote.ProtocolHandshake createSession
INFO: Attempting bi-dialect session, assuming Postel's Law holds true on the remote end
...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new WebBrowser i.e. Chrome Browser session.
As per the discussion Attempting bi-dialect session, assuming Postel's Law holds true on the remote end thread 'webdriver dispatcher' panicked at 'index out of bounds: the len is 0 but the index is 0 this issue was observed with Selenium Client v3.0.0-beta3 which was released on 2016-09-01 14:57:03 -0700.
Simon in a comment mentioned that:
The root cause was a ClassCastException. We now catch that exception, log the thing that we were trying to parse and continue with other attempts to complete the handshake. The fix was available in Selenium Client v3.0.0-beta4.
The most appropriate solution would have been to:
Upgrade Selenium to current level of Version 3.141.59.

Solution
Ensure that:
JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u222.
Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59.
ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v78.0 level.
Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 78.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v78.0 release notes)
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
(WindowsOS only) Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your Test Suite.
(LinuxOS only) Free Up and Release the Unused/Cached Memory in Ubuntu/Linux Mint before and after the execution of your Test Suite.
If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
Take a System Reboot.
Execute your #Test as non-root user.
Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.

Outro
As per this jar-download.com article the createSession() in ProtocolHandshake.java file of Selenium v3.0.1 contained the following:
public Result createSession(HttpClient client, Command command)
throws IOException {
// Avoid serialising the capabilities too many times. Things like profiles are expensive.
Capabilities desired = (Capabilities) command.getParameters().get("desiredCapabilities");
desired = desired == null ? new DesiredCapabilities() : desired;
Capabilities required = (Capabilities) command.getParameters().get("requiredCapabilities");
required = required == null ? new DesiredCapabilities() : required;
String des = new BeanToJsonConverter().convert(desired);
String req = new BeanToJsonConverter().convert(required);
// Assume the remote end obeys the robustness principle.
StringBuilder parameters = new StringBuilder("{");
amendW3CParameters(parameters, des, req);
parameters.append(",");
amendOssParamters(parameters, des, req);
parameters.append("}");
LOG.info("Attempting bi-dialect session, assuming Postel's Law holds true on the remote end");
Optional result = createSession(client, parameters);
// Assume a fragile OSS webdriver implementation
if (!result.isPresent()) {
parameters = new StringBuilder("{");
amendOssParamters(parameters, des, req);
parameters.append("}");
LOG.info("Falling back to original OSS JSON Wire Protocol.");
result = createSession(client, parameters);
}
// Assume a fragile w3c implementation
if (!result.isPresent()) {
parameters = new StringBuilder("{");
amendW3CParameters(parameters, des, req);
parameters.append("}");
LOG.info("Falling back to straight W3C remote end connection");
result = createSession(client, parameters);
}
if (result.isPresent()) {

while doing selenium testing-- I am getting an error

Selenium GeckoDriver get IP and Port no of the launched driver instance

I'm using Selenium 3.4, Geckodriver 0.17.
I launch FirefoxDriver using the below code
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "geckodriver.exe");
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.bing.com");
System.out.println(driver.getSessionId());
Is there a way I can get the IP and the port of the launched driver instance?
The data I want is printed in the logs.
1499170600204 geckodriver INFO Listening on 127.0.0.1:38840
1499170601127 geckodriver::marionette INFO Starting browser C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe with args ["-marionette"]

The First line of the output 127.0.0.1:38840 prints the info I want. I don't want to parse the log as I will be running drivers in parallel.

The RemoteWebDriver has getCommandExecutor method.
Which can be TypeCasted to HttpCommandExecutor and getAddressOfRemoteServer() method returns the URL.
HttpCommandExecutor ce = (HttpCommandExecutor) driver.getCommandExecutor();
System.out.println(ce.getAddressOfRemoteServer());

Selenium ChromeDriver not Loading

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
The driver is instantiated and the browser is opened, but then I get the following error:

I found Solution for the Problem. I had Old Libraries and replaced it with Selenium Libraries from Here and it worked.

can't start neo4j service after moving directory

I have a windows 7 x64 machine. I installed neo4j which went very smoothly. I then managed to install neo4django and neo4j-embedded and that was fine too.
However I decided to change the directory it was in, so I stopped the neo4j service in powershell and moved it to a different spot. Since then I haven't been able to restart the service, though if I run the console it starts neo4j in a java.exe window (I think) and thus it works (localhost:7474 accessible, able to run the neo4j-embedded example script, etc) until I close that java.exe window.
Here is the output I got in PowerShell:
PS G:\dev files\neo4j\bin> .\neo4j start
[SC] StartService FAILED 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
PS G:\dev files\neo4j\bin> .\neo4j console

I'd be most appreciative of your help. Cheers.

When you create a service in Windows you typically bind a location for the executable that the operating system can find. Because you moved the directory your Neo4J service is no longer valid. What you must do is delete the old service, recreate the service with the new directory, and then launch it.
Code to get and delete service in PowerShell:
$service = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name='servicename'"
$service.delete()
