hi ankit,

initially i also faced same issue in Linux environment,but it's very similar to run the selenium in Linux like window.

just to have to take care for defining path of the driver.

in windows we are using double backwards slash but in the Linux we have to use single forward slash also we don't use extension in path


window: systems.setproperties("webdriver.chrome.driver","//D//location.exe");


systems.setproperties("webdriver.chrome.driver",":\D\location");

Hey Jaydeep,

Thanks for your response.I am getting below error while running my test on Linux(All these are working fine on Windows)

unknown error: failed to change window state to maximized, current state is normal
        (Session info: chrome=67.0.3396.79)
        (Driver info: chromedriver=2.40.565383 (76257d1ab79276b2d53ee976b2c3e3b9f335cde7),platform=Linux 3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)


Can you please also let me know if there is any option of running selenium tests in normal mode(I mean not in headless mode)(I am using Jenkins to run my tests and all tests are executing in headless mode by default)'

Regards,
Ankit

Hi Ankit,

maximize() method gives an issue depends on the configuration.
Solution for your issue can be resolved by adding the below line.

driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1700, 1100));

Regards,

Thanks for the reponse.

Now I am getting below error message.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver is not executable: /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/TestDemo/src/main/resources/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe


Do i need to do something differently on Linux machine as compared with Windows machine?

You cannot run a windows executable on a linux machine. You would need to download the linux variant of chromedriver and if required add execution permissions to it.

 

Easiest way of checking if a binary has executable permissions or not is by invoking it.

 

Thanks & Regards

This can be fixed by using the compatible version of executable file in Linux

You are using chrome driver for windows environment ...you have to use Chrome driver for Linux environment.

Try first running the chromedriver binary manually as below:

 

11:29 $ /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

Starting ChromeDriver 2.37.544337 (8c0344a12e552148c185f7d5117db1f28d6c9e85) on port 9515

Only local connections are allowed.

 

If you see an output as above (please replace the path with your actual path), then your chromedriver has the required executable permissions.

If not, you need to add the required executable permissions by using chmod +x command.

 

Thanks & Regards

Krishnan Mahadevan

I am able to run chromdriver manually and I can see output like you mentioned above.

But I am getting below error message.

The driver executable does not exist: /usr/local/bin && sudo ./chromedriver
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: /usr/local/bin && sudo ./chromedriver


Seems like the path is not correct.I have configured the script to use the path from properties file and I am using something like below.

webdriver.chrome.driver= /usr/local/bin && sudo ./chromedriver

Can you please suggest what can i do?

Regards,
Ankit
