Question

Sorry for stupid question, but how to start Chrome browser in webdriver? I know that I have to specify the path to chromedriver.exe. Problem is I unable to download chromedriver.exe it is depricated. Also files that I found doesn't have .exe extension. I am using eclipse, Java. Please help! I did everything step by step as suggested but its doesn't work. Here is my code:

 import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
 import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
 import org.testng.annotations.Test;


public class chrome {

@Test public void test(){

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver_win32(2)\\chromedriver");
    ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("http:\\yahoo.com");
}

}

And here is the error:

FAILED: test java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: C:\chromedriver_win32(2)\chromedriver

Was it helpful?

Solution

Download update version of chrome driver(in below code example E://chromedriver.exe) from http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list

public class ChromeTest {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E://chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();              
        driver.get("http://www.test.com");

    }

}

OTHER TIPS

Read here for links and the getting started doc. When you download, you get a zip file, extract contents which has the exe.
