        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/home/exploit/Bureau/chromedriver");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();  
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        WebElement element = driver .findElement(By.id("lst-ib"));

I have tried it using Firefox.You need to guide Firefox so that it executes in the Xvfb.

You can try the following:

String Xport = System.getProperty("lmportal.xvfb.id", ":1");

final File firefoxPath = new File(System.getProperty("lmportal.deploy.firefox.path", "/usr/bin/firefox"));

FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary = new FirefoxBinary(firefoxPath);

firefoxBinary.setEnvironmentProperty("DISPLAY", Xport);
