Headless Linux and chrome not working with Selenium

Question

I am trying to run the tests on a headless Linux environment.

I have included below dependencies in the project:

 <dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
      <version>3.141.59</version>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>4.4</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
      <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
      <artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>
      <version>3.141.59</version>
   </dependency>

Below is the simple test case where I am trying to hit a URL and checking if its available. But on Jenkins its not able to start the browser using the driver.

public void testGoogleSearch() throws InterruptedException {
    // Optional. If not specified, WebDriver searches the PATH for chromedriver.
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "src/test/resources/chromedriver");

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
    Thread.sleep(5000);  // Let the user actually see something!
    WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
    searchBox.sendKeys("ChromeDriver");
    searchBox.submit();
    Thread.sleep(5000);  // Let the user actually see something!
    driver.quit();
  }

Stacktrace is:

Please suggest how to resolve this problem.

Answer 1

I found the problem, it was the version mismatch of chromedriver and chromium-broswer version. After adding the correct driver it started working fine.

I downloaded the correct version from below URL: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/
