No clue for this. Do I still need to configure something?

There are 2 kinds of
1. Microsoft WebDriver: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48212
and
WebDriver for Windows Insiders: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48740
using 1 with this issue. using 2 works for me

It's some time ago, but here is the solution for everyone with the same error..
Your Windows build must be equal to the Microsoft WebDriver version(eg 14393). Just open start menu, type in "winver" and use the correct WebDriver (right hand side) on following page:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/

Chromedriver failing on Jenkins (Linux)

I am trying to run UI tests on Chrome on Jenkins, and from the error it appears that it is failing to start.

The code (in Java) simply tries to instantiate a default instance of Chromedriver, and fails. The following message also shows in the log, which confuses me. It appears that the driver is opening, but stopping immediately?
Starting ChromeDriver 2.14.313457 (3d645c400edf2e2c500566c9aa096063e707c9cf) on port 4601

The instantiation is done as:
WebDriver webDriver = null;
String chromeDriverLocation = MyCustomPropertyReader.getProperty("webdriver.chrome.binary.location");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverLocation);
final DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
webDriver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
I am able to run the Chromedriver from the command prompt, and I have also checked that all the environment variables that are needed to load it up and indeed available during the instantiation.
Could someone tell me what I might be missing, or if there is a way to obtain more information about the cause of this failure?

The issue was resolved by updating the browser installation, and making sure that both Chromedriver and the Chrome browser can be run from the command prompt.

Selenium Can't open IE10 in windows 7 server by write Selenium Code

I received error message with new windows as "Internet explorer has stopped working "
I tried by enable/disable protect mode for all zones , google help solutions . I download IEDriverServer_x64_2.42.0 and selenium-java-2.42.2. I have added jar files from selenium 2.4.2 to my project library by add build path .
my code is :

UnreachableBrowserException trying to launch in Selenium Webdriver using IEDriver

I have a set of automations that work fantastically in Firefox and Chrome, and I'd like to launch an instance of IEDriver as well.
I've set up IEDriver as per Selenium's Google Code wiki, with the correct path (if I change the path I get a different exception, so it's definitely correct). But for some reason it still can't launch, and just times out.
The code to launch it (the last line throws the exception):
File ieDriver = new File("C:/Users/whatever/path/IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", ieDriver.getAbsolutePath());
WebDriver ie = new InternetExplorerDriver();
And the exception is:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

I was hitting this same error and then found this question. In my case, it turned out that I had the 64 bit version of the IEDriver.exe on my system, but I was on a 32 bit windows platform. So this error was indicating that the OS failed to execute the driver program. I tried to run the driver directly in a command prompt to see that infact the 32 bit OS was not recognizing the 64 bit driver exe as an executable program.
Getting the correct 32 bit IEDriver.exe solved my problem.

Selenium WebDriver with Chrome, issue:
(org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException) solution
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.
Build info: version: '2.35.0', revision: '8df0c6b', time: '2013-08-12 15:43:19'
System info: os.name: 'Windows 7', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '6.1', java.version: '1.7.0_40'
Driver info: driver.version: ChromeDriver
If you are getting above problem, go to the chromedriver.exe location and try to execute the exe. If you are able to execute the exe then below code will work. Otherwise it will be a permission issue to the chromedriver folder. Change the folder location or provide the permission to the folder and double click on chromedriver.exe.
Solution:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/Driver/chromedriver.exe");
System.out.println(System.getProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver"));
WebDriver driver3 = new ChromeDriver();

Go to hosts (C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc)
and make sure that you have this line correctly:
127.0.0.1 localhost

Faced similar exception while trying to execute Selenium script over BrowserStack for mobile devices. And often found this exception being thrown.
Eventually realized being virtual machines involved, emulators were taking time to boot up and thus causing UnreachableBrowserException.
Wrote below code to handle this, by setting Number of times to retry(RetryCount) and made multiple attempts(retryAttempt) to check Remote WebDriver's availability.
while(retryAttempt<=retryCount){
try{
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(URL), caps);
return driver;
}
catch(UnreachableBrowserException e){
Thread.sleep(10000);
if(retryAttempt>retryCount){
logger.error("Remote Web Driver cannot be reached at this moment");
}
}
}

It seems to me you use improper driver initilization.
Try piece of code from my project:
File file = new File("C:/Selenium/iexploredriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

I had the same issue. This fixed it for me:
DesiredCapabilities capabilitiesIE = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
capabilitiesIE.setCapability(
InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilitiesIE);

If you are getting the this exception just download new chrome driver and provide the in your project. That's it. Worked for me :)

getting an error when opeming IE9 using IntelliJ IDEA IDE for Selenium automation

My code is :

I don't know what's wrong.

The warning says what should you do:
WARNING: This method of starting the IE driver is deprecated and will be removed in selenium 2.26. Please download the IEDriverServer.exe from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list and ensure that it is in your PATH.
So, first, download the IEDriverServer.exe from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list
Correct way to start IE driver is:
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "path/to/ IEDriverServer.exe");
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver() ;

You are using an old version of Selenium and IEDriver.
Download the latest version of Selenium and the IEDriverServer from here:
