First of all You are using a little bit old version of gecko driver. The newest from: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Then You need to set up system property with:
File gecko = new File("C:/Users/admin/Downloads/geckodriver-v0.19.0-win32/geckodriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", gecko.getAbsolutePath());
If You really want to use marionette check answers on: Difference between webdriver.firefox.marionette & webdriver.gecko.driver

I haved this error for 2 days, the solution for me was in Set.Plataform put Platafor.ANY or Plataform.Windows because Plataform.WIN10 not worked, marionette wasn't necessary and I added and neether works, only works this. I hope this helps someone else:
public class Main {
public static RemoteWebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "D:/Lib/geckodriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities().firefox();
desiredCapabilities.setPlatform(Platform.ANY);
desiredCapabilities.setBrowserName("firefox");
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://172.20.19.182:5557/wd/hub"), desiredCapabilities);
driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");
driver.findElementByName("q").sendKeys("execute automation");
driver.findElementByName("q").sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
driver.close();
// write your code here
}
}

You can also try using double \\ in the path of the geckodriver.
Also instead of using :
System.setProperty(
"webdriver.firefox.marionette",
"C:/Users/admin/Downloads/geckodriver-v0.11.1-win32/geckodriver.exe");
Can you try using
System.setProperty(
"webdriver.gecko.driver",
"C:\\Users\\admin\\Downloads\\geckodriver-v0.11.1-win32\\geckodriver.exe");

Title : Problem Resolved
Solution Accepted :
- Use latest version of gecko driver
Code Used
- System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\Marionette\geckodriver_1.exe" );

WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot determine loading status from timeout: Timed out receiving message from renderer: 60 using Selenium and Java

In my Java project I am using Selenium for web automation. I am using chromedriver v2.20 executable. First "ChromeDriverService" is initialised and that is used to create ChromeDriver like, "new ChromeDriver(service, capabilities);". Also I used BrowserMobProxy to capture all web requests.
In my test I navigate to some URLs multiple times, after each navigation driver implicitly waits for few seconds, then polls result.
But while Execution it gives me timeout Exception.
In my research I came across solutions which are not working for me:
Instead of implicitlyWait use Thread.sleep
Replace new RemoteWebDriver(service.getUrl(), capabilities); by new ChromeDriver(service, capabilities);
After new ChromeDriver(...), wait for 1 sec using Thread.sleep(1000);
Can anyone please tell me why this error occurs ? how to handle this ?

for (int n = 0; n < 30 / navTo.length; n++) {
for (String url : navTo) {
chrome.navigateTo(url);
chrome.waitFor(5000);
}
}
}
private void poll() {
int pollInterval = 1000;
int remaining = 120 * 1000;
boolean found = false;
while (remaining > 0) {
if (found) // populateResult(), omitted for now.
break;
chrome.waitFor(pollInterval);
remaining -= pollInterval;
}
}

Your code runs fine. Might be you using outdated chrome driver. I suggest to use latest exe of chrome driver.

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.
Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:
Though your chromedriver=2.20 and chrome=45.0 are compatable.
But your JDK version is 1.8.0_60 which is pretty ancient.
So there is a clear mismatch between JDK v8u60 , Selenium Client v'2.48.2 , ChromeDriver v2.20 and the Chrome Browser v45.0
Solution
Ensure that:
JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u241.
Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59.
ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v80.0 level.
Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 80.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v80.0 release notes)
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 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.

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element:

Code:
public void Test2() throws Exception{
Thread.sleep(5000);
driver.findElement(By.id("cboMenu")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='cboMenu/option[3]")).click();
}
Error:
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"cboMenu"}
Command duration or timeout: 31 milliseconds

Please use explicit wait instead of the Thread.sleep(5000), like in the next example.
It will provide you much clearer error regarding what you experience.
public void Test2() throws Exception{
new WebDriverWait(driver, 3).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("cboMenu")))
driver.findElement(By.id("cboMenu")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='cboMenu/option[3]")).click();
}
Next, verify your button doesn't appear in different iFrame. If you do, change the iFrame to the one you element inside:
driver.switchTo().frame("IFRAME_ID");
The IFRAME_ID is taken from the DOM:
<iframe id="IFRAME_ID">
You can next change visibilityOfElementLocated to presenceOfElementLocated, that will verify that an element is present on the DOM but does not necessarily mean that the element is visible. It can be good clue to know if your webDriver is in the correct scope with the button you try to click.
Additional tip - scroll the button you want to click on into view. Thats could be also the reason to failure.
//element is WebElement
(JavascriptExecutor)driver.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);

this is solved my issue :)
driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
driver.context("WEBVIEW_com.openstream.cueme.services.workbench");
Thread.sleep(10000);
driver.findElementById("userId").sendKeys("sysadmin");
driver.findElementById("CuemePassword").sendKeys("MMNext13#");

Try below code
public void Test2() throws Exception{
Thread.sleep(5000);
driver.findElement(By.id("cboMenu")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='cboMenu']/option[3]")).click();

Search using Selenium WebDriver works on google but Fails on yahoo

All:
I am running a simple Java application with Selenium WebDriver.
I was able to successfully run a search
on http://www.google.com using org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver
I tried to run the same search term on http://www.yahoo.com as shown in the following code excerpt:
CharSequence[] searchTerm = { "bbc", "news" };
// Create a new instance of the html unit driver
// Notice that the remainder of the code relies on the interface,
// not the implementation.
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
// And now use this to visit Google
driver.get("http://www.yahoo.com");
// Find the text input element by its name
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
//searchTerm = "bbc news";
// Enter something to search for
element.sendKeys(searchTerm);
// Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us from the element
element.submit();
// Check the title of the page
System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
Howefver, it gives me the following error:
Oct 17, 2014 3:18:44 PM org.apache.http.client.protocol.ResponseProcessCookies processCookies
WARNING: Cookie rejected [DNR="deleted", version:0, domain:.www.yahoo.com, path:/, expiry:Thu Oct 17 15:18:45 IST 2013] Illegal domain attribute "www.yahoo.com". Domain of origin: "in.yahoo.com"

Driver info: driver.version: HtmlUnitDriver
at org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver.findElementByName(HtmlUnitDriver.java:1001)
Why does it work fine for http://www.google.com but fails for http://www.yahoo.com ?
Why does it throw the "Exception in thread main org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException Unable to locate element with name q" error?
Update with Answer
Thanks to #Sriram and #ivan_ochc , I am able to run the following code that searches http://www.yahoo.com properly
// Create a new instance of the html unit driver
// Notice that the remainder of the code relies on the interface,
// not the implementation.
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
// And now use this to visit Google
driver.get("http://www.yahoo.com");
// Find the text input element by its name
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("p"));

http://www.yahoo.com doesn't have element with name="q", it has element with name="p"

Selenium HtmlUnit Driver Exception

I'm using JUnit, Selenium WebDriver and try to make some tests with HtmlUnit and http://vk.com site but fail.
It looks like FirefoxDriver works great for me.
Here is code:
#Before
public void setUp() {
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.htmlUnit();
capabilities.setBrowserName("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0");
capabilities.setVersion("24.0");
capabilities.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts()
.implicitlyWait(Integer.parseInt(TIMEOUT), TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://vk.com");
}
#Test
public void SomeTest() {
/* LoginPage - described class in PageObject traditions */
LoginPage start = new LoginPage(driver);
LOG.info(driver.getPageSource());
//...
}
When I start it I get the an exception:

Any suggestions?

Different drivers have different ways to handle javascript.
Htmlunit uses Rhino and firefox-driver uses Firefox's default javascript handler and hence, you see different results with different drivers.

Replace htmlUnit() with firefox() for your fix.
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox()
capabilities.setBrowserName("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0");
capabilities.setVersion("24.0");
driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(capabilities);
