I had the same problem with the chromedriver version provided by appium.
Try using chromedriver v2.3 .
It worked for me. Also remove the chromedriver.exe from task manager if present.

Cheers

How does one override the ChromeDriver version provided by Appium? I’m running into similar issue with ChromeDriver and Appium 1.2.2 (reference Chrome not reachable error)

@rstagner

Go to this folder and replace the chromedriver in the respective folder of your operating system there with whichever version you want

—> Appium\node_modules\appium\build\chromedriver\

Hi,
I have also run into same issue on MAc 10.9.5 running Nexus 10 Genymotion emulator with Android version 4.4.4.

I am using Downloaded Appium app version : 1.3.1
Can some one explain in more detail how do we solve this.

Hi @RamS - Is there any other way to skip this issue??

Hi @PRABU90,
I could get my current test case working with Appium upgrade to 1.3.1 and Java client to 1.6.3
Not sure if this has solved the main problem. Once I start working more on WebView, I will get clear picture. I will keep u posted on my findings.

Hi @Ram:
This issue gets resolved when i updated with latest chromedriver(v2.12). I’m also using the Appium v1.3.1 and java client v1.6.1. I can able to access the webviews in my hybrid application.

You can download the most recent version here:
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

Put it in your appium/build/chromedriver directory.

Hi Mason,
Thanks a lot…I have downloaded chrome driver…where i can find the path appium/build/chromedriver

20

It’ll be wherever Appium is installed on your machine and that depends on your OS. You could try searching for a directory called “chromedriver”.
