[webdriver] problem when launching Chrome

[shen xieyin]

Getting Started

To get set up, first download the appropriate prebuilt server. Make sure the server can be located on your PATH or specify its location via the webdriver.chrome.driver system property. Finally, all you need to do is create a new ChromeDriver instance:

I just followed this step to create the environment variable "webdriver.chrome.driver" with value "%HOMEPATH%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe", and I can call System.getEnv("webdriver.chrome.driver") to retrieve it, but it fails in the following step:

String exePath = System.getProperty(CHROME_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY, defaultPath) in ChromeDriverService.

message:

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 version can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/chromium/downloads/list

Any idea?

Thanks,

You need to point webdriver.chrome.driver to the path where "chromedriver.exe" exists and not "chrome.exe"

Assuming you are using eclipse for your coding, have you restarted it after setting up your env variables..I have noticed it doesn't pick those up at times..just a guess :)

Where does " chromedriver.exe " locate? I searched in the disk but failed to find it.

You would need to download it from the chromium site. The instructions are available in the twiki page for ChromeDriver
