[SEVERE]: Timed out receiving message from renderer: 298.674 while invoking driver.get() method of selenium through Java

Question

I am trying to open the Url using below method .But it takes long time to load the Url however it is test environment Url.

@BeforeClass    
public void setup() {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");       
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");         
driver.manage().window().maximize();         
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5,TimeUnit.SECONDS); 
}

To load the Url using driver.get("XXXXXX") method takes around 4 minutes which throws Exception below

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

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

Your ChromeDriver version is 73.0.3683.68.
Your Chrome version is 73.0.3683.103.
Your JDK version is 1.8.0_121 which is pretty old and ancient.

So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver v73.0.3683.68, Chrome v73.0.3683.103 and JDK v8u121.

Solution

Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u202.
