Answer 1

I had same issue during the first run of serenity-cucumber4-smoketests. The problem was in the chromedriver.exe version located in the skeleton. After I replaced it to a new one supported by my company, the test had passed. But same issue might happen if the path to the driver is not selected correctly.
