Getting driver is not executable when using web driver manager?

Question

Using webdrivermanager 1.7.1 to automate binary downloads for chromedriver but I'm getting "The driver is not executable" message.

I know the solution chmod +x ../chromedriver but required an automated process for that!!

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

@ShubhamJain you mean manually or making completes files in dir?? — Ranjith's, Sep 06 '17 at 10:03
Which operative system (Linux, Mac) and architecture (32, 64 bits) are you using? — Boni García, Sep 06 '17 at 10:12
That's weird because webdrivermanager sets the executable flag once the binary (chromedriver in this case) is extracted. I have tried this in Ubuntu 64 (which it should be the same than Centos) and for me is working fine. Could you try removing your chromedriver cache (~/.m2/repository/webdriver/chromedriver/linux64) and try again? Just to find out whether it is a consistent problem or not. — Boni García, Sep 06 '17 at 10:44
FYI: been tried with v1.6.2, 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 with chrome driver 2.29 version. still getting the same error (-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 6 10:56 chromedriver) — Ranjith's, Sep 06 '17 at 11:00

Similar issue here as well. Chrome was working but not Firefox. Removed geckodriver folder and tried as well.

But I did chmod 777 on geckdriver and it worked.

package frameWork;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver;

import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;

public class BaseClass {

    public WebDriver driver;

    public WebDriver initializeDriver() throws IOException {
        Properties p = new Properties();
        FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream("src/main/java/frameWork/data.properties");

        p.load(f);
        String browser = p.getProperty("browser");

        if(browser.equals("chrome")) {
            WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
            driver = new ChromeDriver();

        } else if(browser.equals("firefox")) {
            WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();
            driver = new FirefoxDriver();

        } else {
            System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.driver","/usr/bin/safaridriver");
            driver = new SafariDriver();
        }

        //driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        return driver;
    }

}

Try with this WebDriverManager version:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.bonigarcia/webdrivermanager -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
            <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
            <version>3.8.1</version>
        </dependency>
