public class WebElements {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\selenium\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get("https://www.amazon.in/");
        Thread.sleep(4000);

}

I am getting below error:

org.openqa.selenium.remote.ProtocolHandshake createSession
INFO: Detected dialect: W3C

Answer 1

The root cause was a ClassCastException. We now catch that exception, log the thing that we were trying to parse, and continue with other attempts to complete the handshake. The fix was available in Selenium Client v3.0.0-beta4.

Solution

• Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u181.
• Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.14.0.
• Upgrade GeckoDriver to GeckoDriver v0.20.1 level.
• GeckoDriver is present in the specified location.
• GeckoDriver is having executable permission for non-root users.
• Upgrade Firefox version to Firefox v61.0.2 levels.
• 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 Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
• Take a System Reboot.
• Execute your Test as a non-root user.
