Selenium Webdriver - SessionNotCreatedError

I am getting this same identical error please see below for my solution.

Checked in code yesterday, everything ran fine. Fired up a suite this morning and saw exact behavior cocoa is seeing.

Chrome/chromedriver are up to date. Protractor is v2.2 (working on upgrade), Jasmine v2x. Webdriver-manager update shows everything is cool. JDK up to date. The only thing I'm still chasing are the Jasmine-reporters, of which I am using v2x.

EDIT:I just resolved by:

• Updating node.js from the msi file (located here: https://nodejs.org/en/)

• Running the webmanager update (webdriver-manager update) which pulled down the latest selenium jar and chomedriver.exe

• I then ran a test that was failing this morning and it ran successfully, no errors.

Downloading Chromedriver 2.19 is what I needed to do. I was using 2.16 and for some reason webdriver-manager update --chromedriver wasn't working and said I had the latest version. But apparently not. Thank you @jjj!!

You may need to upgrade chromedriver. On Mac, this should be as easy as brew upgrade chromedriver. Otherwise, you can download the latest version and place it in the correct folder for your particular setup.
