2018-08-31 09:16:26,570 ERROR [io.undertow.request] (default task-1) UT005023: Exception handling request to /crawlerClass/myCrawler/5922: org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Timed out waiting for driver server to start.

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

Your base exception is the org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException as your program Timed out waiting for driver server to start because of the following reason:

  • Your JDK version is 1.8.0_92 which is pretty ancient.

So there is a clear mismatch between the JDK v8u92 and current Selenium Client v3.14.0.
