Question

My app is the Hybrid App (not the Native App).So to change the context from native to Hybrid,I have created the instance of Android driver.After three swaps,I want change the context.So I used driver.context(contextList.get(1)); As far as I know ,the error is coming because of the above line only.Any alternative to this??

        driver.quit();
        System.out.println("Test is Successful");

    }

}

Output/Exception coming is

The error says it all :

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Failed to start Chromedriver session: A new session could not be created. (Original error: session not created exception: Chrome version must be >= 60.0.3112.0

Your main issue is the version compatibility among the binaries you are using as follows :

You are using chromedriver=2.33
Release Notes of chromedriver=2.33 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v60-62

You are using Chrome Browser version is unknown to us but possibly below v60.x. The error clearly confirms by the log Chrome version must be >= 60.0.3112.0
You are using Selenium Version 2.50.1 (released time: '2016-01-29 11:11:26') which is a bit older.
Your JDK version is 1.8.0_131 which is also a bit older.

So there is a clear mismatch between the chromedriver version (v2.33) and the matching requirement i.e. Chrome v60-62

Solution

Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK Version 8 Update 151.
Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.8.1.
Upgrade ChromeDriver to ChromeDriver v2.35 level.
Keep Chrome Browser to v64.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.35 release notes)
Incase your Chrome Browser base version is older, try to uninstall Chrome Browser through Revo Uninstaller and install the required recent GA released version of the Chrome Browser .
Clear the Browser Cache before your Test Excution .
Run CCleaner tool before and after execution of your Test Suites .
Execute your Test.
