Jmeter- Webdriver can not load web page on Chrome - jmeter

Question

I wrote a jmeter - webdriver after a simple sample from the web. Load test should load Chrome and open a specific page. Chrome opens, but page is not displayed,jmeter returns error.
These are specifications:
os.name: 'Windows Server 2012 R2', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '6.3', java.version: '1.8.0_144'
Chrome version: 65 and higher versions
Jmeter: 5.1.1, selenium-chrome-driver-3.14.0.jar,selenium-java-3.14.0.jar
Thread Group
jp#gc - Chrome Driver Config
path to Chrome driver : C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
jp#gc - WebDriver Sampler
WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart()
WDS.browser.get('http://www.jmeter-plugins.org')
WDS.sampleResult.sampleEnd()
I expect to view page in the Chrome, only Chrome is opened and specific page is not loaded .
Thank you for you time to helping solving my issue.

Answer 1

Please download the chrome driver from the below link as per your browser version and if not available then update chrome browser:-
http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
Once you have the "chromedriver.exe" then change the path in Chrome driver config
jp#gc - Chrome Driver Config
ex:- path to Chrome driver : D:\ChromeDriver\chromedriver.exe
Hope this solves the issue.
