Chrome not reachable Selenium WebDriver error - selenium-webdriver

Question

I am facing this issue; I know this question is already present and I have tried the solutions mentioned hence asking this with my configurations and code.
Earlier the scripts were running but now they aren't So i tried making a basic open browser script.
Latest Version of Selenium WebDriver : http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/3.5/selenium-java-3.5.0.zip
Latest Version on ChromeDriver : http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.31/
Basic Open browser code:
package Trial;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class Trial_Class {
public static void main(String args[]){
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://www.youtube.com");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
}
But still I am getting the below error:
Starting ChromeDriver 2.31.488763 (092de99f48a300323ecf8c2a4e2e7cab51de5ba8) on port 43967

Answer 1

Your chromedriver is starting just fine:
"Starting ChromeDriver 2.31.488763
(092de99f48a300323ecf8c2a4e2e7cab51de5ba8) on port 43967"
The problem is the browser itself is not responding. So I have two ideas:
1) Your browser is not installed in the default location; If this is the case, add this to your code:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("/path/to/other/chrome/binary");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, chromeOptions);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
2) Your browser is latest version, but your chromedriver isn't - current is 2.33

Answer 2

I found that chromedriver had hard time to resolve localhost and during that it printed
Timed out connecting to Chrome, retrying...
It first tried to connect via ipv6 and then I guess fall back to ipv4. So what worked for me was to change the priority of "localhosts" this way
The only piece you should need to do is change the priority:
Open RegEdit, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tcpip6\Parameters
Create DisabledComponents DWORD registry value, set its value to 20
(Hexadecimal). src

Answer 3

you have to set the
setProperty(String key, String path)
here "key" is your "webdriver.chrome.driver" and "path" is "path where your driver is stored". Use single forward slash "/" in path.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://www.youtube.com");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Above code is work well in Selenium jar 3.5.0. Hope works fine in your system too.
