chrome driver does not work

[Muhammed Salman]

Hi,

I am new to Thucydides and am trying to make it work with chrome. But am getting following error

2129 [pool-1-thread-1] ERROR net.thucydides.core.webdriver.WebDriverFacade - FAILED TO CREATE NEW DRIVER INSTANCE class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver: Could not instantiate class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver
net.thucydides.core.webdriver.UnsupportedDriverException: Could not instantiate class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

My thucydides.properties file looks something like : 

webdriver.driver = chrome
webdriver.chrome.driver = C:\\Development\\Tools\\chromedriver.exe
webdriver.base.url = http://google.com
 

Any hints on what could be missing, firefox seems to be working with something like

webdriver.driver = firefox

webdriver.firefox.profile = C:\\Users\\....

webdriver.base.url = http://google.com

Maybe try putting the chromedriver on the system path?

I'm facing the same problem. I've put the chromedriver into the system path. May the problem be in incompatible versions of chromedriver (2.8), chrome (32.0.1700.76) and thucydides.version (0.9.228) ? I've tried different ways to launch test with chromedriver:

- setting properties as mentioned above

 - with tag @WithDriver("chrome")

 - in code by creatin new ChromeDriver

I am having similar issue using: chromedriver (2.9), chrome (36.0.1985.125) and thucydides.version (0.9.229). Wondering what version of chromedriver should I be using?

Worth trying the newer version of chrome driver 2.10 - http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.10/

Well, I've tried 2.10 version and still Thucydides can not launch the test. It opens chrome window and then opens new firefox window (firefox my default browser).

I setup ChromeDriver like this:

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "c:\\Users\\chromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("test-type");
        capabilities.setCapability("chrome.binary", "c:\\Users\\chromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");
        capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
        webdriver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

Follow the steps below and see if it works or not

1. Download the ChromeDriver to a location on your drive (e.g. I have it on C:\drivers\chromedriver.exe)
2. Set the Environment Property webdriver.chrome.driver = C:\drivers\chromedriver.exe (using your relevant path to the ChromeDriver executable, including the .exe)
3. In thucydides.properties file set the entry webdriver.driver=CHROME
4. In the pom.xml, change <webdriver.driver>firefox</webdriver.driver> to <webdriver.driver>chrome</webdriver.driver>
5. If you run the project now from command line using mvn verify – it will run against the ChromeDriver
6. However, this will not be enough when you run your story from Eclipse. In order to make it work from Eclipse as well, you have to right click your story, Run As > Run configurations … and in the TAB Arguments you have to add “-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=C:\drivers\chromedriver.exe”
   

See below how my Env Variables and Eclipse Configuration looks like

latest Mac OS , chrome driver should be put under /usr/loca/bin/
