java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property;

[MCD dotCom]

Hello, 

I have this below code:

package DDT;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.testng.Assert;

import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;

import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class WordpressLogin {

@Test(dataProvider="login")

public void loginMySite(String uName, String pass) throws InterruptedException

{

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",".......\\resources\\chromedriver.exe");

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.get("https://xxx.com/user/login");

}

@DataProvider(name="login")

public Object[][] passData()

{

Object[][] data = new Object[2][2];

data[0][0] = "test1";

data[0][1] = "Welcome123@";

data[1][0] = "test2";

data[1][1] = "Welcome123@";

return data;

}

}

I get this error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for more information, see https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver. The latest version can be downloaded from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

How can I fix it?

Thank you!

Flip the order of these two lines in your code

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",".......\\resources\\chromedriver.exe");

Thanks, it worked!

Now I have this inside the method and it worked:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",".......\\resources\\chromedriver.exe");

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

After that, I moved the two lines of code outside the method as global variable and i get syntax error. How can I fix it?

You can try including System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",".......\\resources\\chromedriver.exe");

Inside a static block.

It worked.

 static {

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",".......\\resources\\chromedriver.exe");  
}

If you could please clarify why it did not work without static and why it worked with static, it would be helpful. 

Thanks!
