Hi,

I have added browser.exe path at project level and also given proper exe path in the script. As per the given path script running fine on my local machine
But when I am trying to run same script on Jenkins getting below error "chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH."

KIndly look into this and let me know what changes are missing


Thanks,
Automation

You can give that path in environmental variables.

100%, the problem is with the chromedriver path.

Chromedriver path should be known to each and every TC.

For your 1st & 2nd TC, chromedriver path is known whereas the chromedriver path is NOT KNOWN for other TC's

Try keeping the chromedriver path at the root level, and try to run all the TC's from the root level giving their full path which should resolve the issue.

Thanks
