Google Chrome Exe path on MAC

[Alok Pattnaik]

Hi All

I am facing an issue on MAC where by I am unable to open Google chrome via Web Driver

Here is my Code snippet:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/Users/ankitgarg/Documents/workspace/Selenium/bin/chromedriver.exec");
 
 ChromeDriver chromedriver = new ChromeDriver();
 
 chromedriver.get("http://new.livestream.com/");


On Executing the above code . I get the following exception:

 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: /Users/ankitgarg/Documents/workspace/Selenium/bin/chromedriver.exec

Although the chrome exe is available on the specific path , Still I get the exception.


Any suggestions /code is highly appreciated.


Thanks
Alok

Alok,

Please do the following in a Terminal. 

Use "cd" to navigate to the directory where the chrome driver binary exists [ the one that you downloaded from the selenium site ]

Run a ls -ltr and share the output. 

Run a "pwd" and share the output.

if chromedriver is in your path in terminal you can do a 

which chromedriver

and it should give you a path if it is available

if its not then you didnt add it to a directory in your path or add the directory chromedriver exists in to your path

if it does show up with a path you can try and launch it by typing 

chromedriver

you should get something like 

Started ChromeDriver

port=9515

version=21.0.1180.4

log=/chromedriver.log

what puzzles me is that you said the chromedriver exe

linux and mac dont use exe's so hopefully it was just a mis understanding

Do both machines have:

/Users/Vijay/Desktop/Vijayselenium/chromedriver

[Alok Pattnaik]

Yes , On one the chrome driver works. The other throws the error. Is there any work around for this?

Thanks
Alok

[Mark Collin]

Hi All,

My name is Rahul i am running my selenium tests on chromedriver on MAC when i am running the tests i am getting the issue  ''unknown error: cannot find chrome binary. I have attached the screenshot. 

[Renju jose]

Hi Rahul,

Did you check if the executable has required executable permissions?
Cd into the directory where chromedriver is located and use 'ls -l' to check permissions. If executable permission is not there, use chmod to set permissions. Feel free to ask if further help needed.

Hi Rahul,

    

             Did you check chrome is installed perfectly or not. Selenium looking for chrome path but it is not available, if chrome already installed in your system set the path and try again.

[Rahul Gudi]

The issue is been resolved I am able to run my selenium scripts.
