[FIXED] Chromedriver is not executable on Teamcity with linux-agent problem

Issue

So I have a regression suite using Java/Selenium etc which runs fine headless on my local PC. Now I am trying to create a build configuration on our TeamCity server and within the code I have this little snippet -

if(IsOnTeamCity()) {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "_drivers/chromedriver");
}
else {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\_drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
}

and

private static boolean IsOnTeamCity()
{
    String environmentVariableValue = System.getenv("TEAMCITY_VERSION");
    if (environmentVariableValue != null && !environmentVariableValue.isEmpty())
        return true;
    return false;
}

When I start a run all works well until we get to the tests.

Then I get this error

    [When logged in as a staff member I can see the the navigation cards] java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver is not executable: /opt/buildagent/work/815e6cc9c618cd9d/_drivers/chromedriver

So am I setting webdriver.chrome.driver up wrong? Or is there other settings I need to look at please?

Solution

chmod 755 cured this problem for me
