Answer 1

I followed my frnd suggestion and it worked like a gem for me:

Working Code:

1) Downloaded chromedriver.

2) Code is

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Sel {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe"); // path of chromedriver 
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

      driver.get("https://google.ca");
      driver.manage().window().maximize();
      driver.getTitle();

  }
}

Sorry for late post but still for info,I also facing same problem so I Used updated version of chromedriver ie.2.28 for updated chrome browser ie. 55 to 57 which resolved my problem.

Answer 3

I was also getting the same issue. I resolved this issue by updating the chromedriver. So if anyone is facing same issue with chrome browser just update your chromedriver.

Answer 4

For me, updating the chromedriver and selenium version removed this message.

However, this is not an actual error and just an informational message. If your program is still passing with exit code 0 at the end even when this message is printed, it means the execution went fine.
