I am trying to run the selenium testcase using chromium browser in linux ..

Step to setup chromium browser in linux :

downloaded the chrome-linux.zip from the below path and extract in the linux machine in some specific path

https://storage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Linux_x64/572137/chrome-linux.zip

Put the latest chromedriver linux version file(2.40) in the linux machine

full permission(777) has been given to chromedrive file aswell as the chrome-linux folder also.

And the selenium code :

WebDriver driver =  null;
DesiredCapabilities caps =  DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
ChromeOptions opts = new ChromeOptions();
opts.addArguments("--headless");
opts.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
opts.setBinary("/opt/chromeos/chrome-linux/chrome");//path of the chrome application file in linux 
caps.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, opts);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/opt/chromeos/chomedriver");//path of the chromedriver file in linux
driver = new ChromeDriver(caps);
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

When I am trying to run I am getting unreachable browser exception .

This error message...

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new WebBrowser i.e. Chrome Browser session due to missing GLIBC_2.15 and/or GLIBC_2.14.

First of all, as per the your question details as you are using Selenium Java Client v2.53.0 I don't see any issue with your code block. However as you are on Linux OS instead of chrome-linux.zip you must ensure that you downloaded chrome-linux.tar / chrome-linux.tz and untarred it for proper usage.

What went wrong

/lib64/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.15' not found and /lib64/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found

The ChromeDriver binary you are trying to execute was built on a GLIBC-2.15 based system which will not get executed on any system with older GLIBC.

/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found

Similarly, the ChromeDriver binary you are trying to execute was built on a GLIBCXX_3.4.15 based system which will not get executed on any system with older GLIBC where as your GLIBC is older than 2.14.

tl;dr

Look out at DistroWatch.com for compatible binaries.

Possible Solutions

Further, you haven't mentioned your exact environment details still here are some of the possible reasons and solutions:

  • As per Error on running chromedriver in CentOS 6.6 if you are using CentOS below version 7, upgrading to CentOS version 7 will solve your issue.

  • As per chromedriver_linux64_2.1.zip not working in CentOS 6.4 (latest) you need to:

    • Download latest chrome for CentOS6.4 ( http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ )
    • Download latest ChromeDriver (2.40) .
    • Now go to /opt/google/chrome folder (You need sudo access).
    • Copy chromedriver to this folder (this is for simplication you can have it anywhere).

    • Create a copy of google-chrome as google-chromedriver. vi google-chromedriver and last line modify as: 

       exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chromedriver"  "$@"  (you can provide custom location of driver too).

    • Include in path

      sudo ln  -s /opt/google/chrome/google-chromedriver /usr/bin/chromedriver

    • Change the permission:

      chmod +x chromedriver
