Please read How to Ask, especially the part about minimal reproducible example (MCVE), and How much research effort is expected? This will help you debug your own programs and solve problems for yourself. If you do this and are still stuck you can come back and post your MCVE, what you tried, and the execution result including any error messages so we can better help you. Also provide a link to the page and/or the relevant HTML. — JeffC

The error says it all :

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.181)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120 (e3e53437346286c0bc2d2dc9aa4915ba81d9023f),platform=Windows NT 6.3.9600 x86_64) 
Build info: version: '3.4.0', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown'
System info: host: 'NIL-MKODAGA-D13', ip: '172.16.20.242', os.name: 'Windows 8.1', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '6.3', java.version: '9.0.1'
Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

The error clearly says that the Selenium Client and ChromeDriver is not getting detected back as in :

Build info: version: '3.4.0', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown'  
Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

Your main issue is the version compatibility between the binaries you are using as follows :

You are using chromedriver=2.33
Release Notes of chromedriver=2.33 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v60-62

You are using chrome=65.0
Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.37 clearly mentions the following :

Supports Chrome v64-66

Your Selenium Client version is 3.4.0 of which is a bit older.

So there is a clear mismatch between the Selenium Client v3.4.0 , ChromeDriver version (v2.33) and the Chrome Browser version (v65.0)

Solution

Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.11.0.
Upgrade ChromeDriver to current ChromeDriver v2.37 level.
Keep Chrome version at Chrome v65.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.37 release notes)
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
Take a System Reboot.
Execute your @Test.

As mentioned by @DebanjanB, the problem lies with chromedriver version. From the logs you can see that it uses chromedriver=2.33.506120 which is bit old. Check for the latest version from "https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads".

I was also facing the same problem the problem could be solved by updating the chrome driver. You could uses below approaches for solving it.

Running npm install -g chromedriver
Manually updating the chromedriver, I found the chromedriver being used by the appium resides in below location. C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Local\appium-desktop\app-1.5.0\resources\app\node_modules\appium\node_modules\appium-chromedriver\chromedriver\win.

Replace this chromedriver with the latest one and run your code. It should work fine.

Note: The location could be OS specific, so search for chromedriver exact location.
