Unable to run my configuration file in jbehave

Question

I have written a simple code in java which will open the chrome browser and verify its title. Here I have used Jbehave(BDD) concept to achieve it.

The problem which I'm facing is that I'm not able to run my config file.

This is my .story file

narrative:
In order to communicate effectively to the business some functionality
As a development team
I want to use Behaviour-Driven Development

Scenario:  A Scenario to open google.com
Given I open a browser
When I enter the https://www.google.com
Then google is displayed

This is my java code for the storyline

     import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

    import org.jbehave.core.annotations.Given;
    import org.jbehave.core.annotations.Then;
    import org.jbehave.core.annotations.When;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

    public class DebugPluginSteps {
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    @Given("I open a browser")
    public void openTheBrowser() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    }

    @When("I enter $url")
    public void typeTheUrl(String url) {
        driver.get(url);
    }

    @Then("$title is displayed")
    public void debugStepForThenTest(String title) {
        if (driver.getTitle() == title) {
            System.out.println("Title matched");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Title is not matching");
        }
    }
}
}

And this is my config file.

import org.jbehave.core.configuration.Configuration;
import org.jbehave.core.configuration.MostUsefulConfiguration;
import org.jbehave.core.junit.JUnitStory;
import org.jbehave.core.steps.InjectableStepsFactory;
import org.jbehave.core.steps.InstanceStepsFactory;
public class MyLinkedListStory extends JUnitStory {
    @Override
    public Configuration configuration() {
        return new MostUsefulConfiguration();
    }

    @Override
    public InjectableStepsFactory stepsFactory() {
        return new InstanceStepsFactory(configuration(), new DebugPluginSteps());
    }
}

Console output :

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

• You are using chromedriver=2.43
• Release Notes of chromedriver=2.43 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v69-71

• Presumably you are using the updated chrome= 79.0
• Release Notes of ChromeDriver v79.0 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome version 79

• Your Selenium Client version is unknown to us.

So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver v2.43 and the Chrome Browser v79.0

Solution

Ensure that:

• JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u222.
• Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59.
• ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v79.0.3945.36 level.
• Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 79.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v79.0 release notes)
• Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
• If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
