Solution

Looks like you are trying to run chromedriver.exe on Linux. You have to download binary file for Linux. .exe from stack trace doesn't look like correct one.

Then you have to add executable flag to it chmod +x chromedriver

Is it permission related problem??

[Vicky]

yes I think the file you are accessing doesn't have execution permission. add execution permission to the file. From terminal chmod rwx path/chromedriver

[Shweta Tetambe]

@vicky Added executable permission as PreBuild Action : chmod a+x /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/Mentis\ kitchen\ test/workspace/lib/chromedriver

[Shweta Tetambe]

ChromeDriver Started But Still "org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally" error is coming

[Shweta Tetambe]

Is it compatible issue??, But I am using latest version of chromedriver 2.16, Chrome v33, selenium 2.46, open-jdk 7. Please suggest

[Vicky]

@shwetha Could you try launching chromedriver with --verbose --log-path=chromedriver.log and post your log file?

[aholt]

I have had this error in the past and this is exactly what it was.

This error can also happen on Mac. All I did was go here and download the correct chromedriver for Mac sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
