如何修复org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException：未知错误

Question

While running the below code, I am observing org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error exception.

I am not able to understand why this error occurs even I am using simple driver initialization code.

I am using Eclipse Mars 2.

I used the following code:

    import org.openqa.selenium.*;
    import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.*;

    public class APP {

        public static void main(String[] args) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\CDS\\Application\\chromedriver.exe");
            try {
                WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
                driver.get("http://www.google.com");
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                System.out.println(e);
            }   
        }
    }

Returns this error

Please guide me to the way to fix it.

It seems ChromeDriver is not able to use default ChromeOptions . You can use below code to initialize the WebDriver .

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

    public class APP {

        public static void main(String[] args) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\CDS\\Application\\chromedriver.exe");
            try {
                ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
                options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
                WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
                driver.get("http://www.google.com");
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                System.out.println(e);
            }   
        }
    }

Let me know the status, whether it works for you or not.
