Getting org.openqa.selenium.remote.SessionNotFoundException for IE Driver

Question

I am getting org.openqa.selenium.remote.SessionNotFoundException: session null does not exist exception while trying to open google.com through IE driver.

My code is as follows:

public class Google {
    static WebDriver obj;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String browser = "ie";

        if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("chrome")) {
            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\Selenium\\Selenium Prerequisites\\chromedriver.exe");
            obj = new ChromeDriver();

        } else if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("firefox")) {
            obj = new FirefoxDriver();
        } 
        else if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("ie")){
            System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "E:\\Selenium\\Selenium Prerequisites\\IEDriverServer.exe");
            obj = new InternetExplorerDriver();

        }
        else
            System.out.println("invalid browser name");

        obj.get("https:\\google.com");
    }
}

Please let me know where I am missing, I am using IE browser v11, selenium webdriver v2.53.1, IEDriverServer v3.6.0 32bit.

Below is full exception which I am getting (Please note that if I switch to selenium webdriver v3.6, then there is no issue and code is working perfectly):

Below are the screenshots from IE security tab.

Thanks.

Make sure you have done all the setting in IE like zoom level and security settings. If not then first do configure and try — NarendraR

@NarendraR, which security settings you are talking about. I am new to selenium so have few knowledge. Could you please let me know for which setting you are talking about? My above code is perfectly working for chrome & firefox but only getting issue in IE. — Shan

can u replace below code and let me know DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer(); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "IE"); capabilities.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS,true); System.out.println("Starting InternetExplorer........"); System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","src/test/resources/IEDriverServer.exe"); driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities); driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.get(TestDataComman.baseURL); — NarendraR
– NarendraR, Commented Oct 8, 2017 at 8:15
Getting same exception. I have used below code in elseif condition for ie driver.DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer(); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "IE"); capabilities.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS,true); System.out.println("Starting InternetExplorer........"); System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","E:\\Selenium\\Selenium Prerequisites\\IEDriverServer.exe"); obj = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities); obj.manage().window().maximize(); — Shan

Do it manually

Set same Security level for all zones. Try this steps

Open Internet Explorer Browser
Go to menu and open Tools -> Internet Options -> Security
Set all values of zones (Internet, Local intranet, Trusted sites, Restricted sites) to the same protected mode, enabled or disabled should not matter
click on OK.

or use this

DesiredCapabilities IEcaps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

IEcaps .setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS,true);

WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(IEcaps );

Apart from setting the Protected mode enabled or disabled for all the 4 zones, you will need to set the zoom level to 100% in Internet Explorer.

To launch the IE11 using selenium WebDriver use the IEDriverServer_Win32_3.4.0 version and latest selenium webDriver. It works for IE11 You can get the IE driver 3.4.0 in the below link http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=3.4/

Also add the below snippet to your code to ignore the protected mode settings of IE and set the path for IEDriverServer in your code

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer(); 
capabilities.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.
INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);    
String driverpath="src/Drivers/IEDriverServer.exe"; //IEDirver path
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver",driverpath);
InternetExplorerDriver driver= new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities);
