\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

Have downloaded chrome driver from and started the service.Chrome
Driver is in the path "C:\selenium
2\chromedriver_win_18.0.995.0"\chromedriver.exe.

When i try to create a instace of chrome browser i get an exception.

below is the code that i use

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;


public class ChromeTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");

}
}


And the exception that i get is

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path
to the chromedriver executable must be set by the
webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for more information, see
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver. The latest

or by looking on that page you can see this is possible

  DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();

  capabilities.setCapability("chrome.binary", "C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe");

  WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

download from here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/downloads/list

let's say you installed in C:\chromeDriver

there should be chromedriver.exe inside folder

in your code do this:

WebDriver driver;

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"C:\\chromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");

driver = new ChromeDriver();

[Alex]

Have you tried setting the system property to where the chrome driver executable is? For example, you would insert:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","*absolute path to executable*"); 

right above ChromeDriver cdrive = new ChromeDriver(); Be sure to fill in the absolute path to where the chrome driver executable is and not the chrome browser executable.

Hi,

Below is my code:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\Softwares\\chromedriver.exe");

ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

version=22.0.1203.0b

log=E:\Nitin\WorkSpace\SafariInSelenium\chromedriver.log

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

My code is : nothing happens here :(

http://screencast.com/t/1WVMsVRZLgnY

package com.example.tests;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class chrome_test  {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        WebDriver driver;

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

[Mark Collin]

Well from a  quick glance:

\Workspace\TestApplication\  :\Workspace\chromedriver.exe

is not equal to:

C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

or:

C:\selenium 2\chromedriver_win_18.0.995.0"\chromedriver.exe

I would suggest setting

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "<locationOfChromeDriver>")

how can I solve this?

[Shawn McCarthy]

As multiple people have pointed out, you need to give the location of the chromdriver (or put it in the PATH environment variable):

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "<locationOfChromeDriver>") // This is NOT the chrome.exe

[ra cras]

but I've added the path: http://screencast.com/t/YQcCIScRiWB3

[Shawn McCarthy]

You added it to a new environment variable called Chrome ? If so, that is not correct. You need to add it to the existing PATH environment variable. It is a semi-colon separated list.

[ra cras]

I did not understand

[Shawn McCarthy]

You made a new user variable called "Chrome". You should NOT have done this. Edit the existing PATH variable with the location of your chromedriver.exe .

[ra cras]

Yes, I add in PATH
