i would like to run the selenium server from the command prompt with out the internet connection. Every time when i run below command

webdriver-manager start will always needs internet connection to start the server because this commands is checking for new binaries .

But i would like to run the selenium server with the binaries which are already downloaded to my system with out checking for new binaries.

When i search for above question i found a below solution.

webdriver-manager start --versions.standalone version number

Even though i am using above command and try to run the selenium server by specifying the version number still it is depends on internet connection.

Can any one help me how to start the selenium server with out internet . I dont want checking process while starting the server

Actually, webdriver-manager start execute a Java CLI after query latest binary, so you can just execute the Java CLI directly if you have download the binary to avoid access internet to query latest binary.

set Webdriver_Basedir=C:\Tools\npm-global\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium

java
-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=%Webdriver_Basedir%\chromedriver_2.35.exe -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=%Webdriver_Basedir%\geckodriver-v0.19.1.exe -jar %Webdriver_Basedir%\selenium-server-standalone-3.9.1.jar -port 4444

  • I think, this can be fixed by updating to the latest version of both chromedriver and chrome and also refer to the link given below https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46433957/sessionnotcreatederror-unable-to-create-new-service-chromedriverservice – Farheen Khanum Mar 14 '18 at 12:19
