I am using selenium to automate MS Edge (chromium) browser. I have downloaded correct driver i.e v79.0.309.43 which is same for driver and browser.
but when I run code , it simply shows message that it is launching on multiple ports .See Screenshot below=
Can someone point out what is issue here?
Thanks,
Nilesh
I test with Microsoft Edge(Chromium) Beta version 79.0.309.43 and the same version of Microsoft Edge(Chromium) WebDriver and it works. You could refer to the code below and change the path to your owns:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeOptions;
public class Edgeauto {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "your\\path\\to\\edge\\webdriver\\msedgedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.setBinary("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge Beta\\Application\\msedge.exe");
EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions().merge(chromeOptions);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(edgeOptions);
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
}
}
Also please remember to have the location of Edge Beta and msedgedriver.exe on your PATH.
I am trying to run a simple URL to get started in chrome browser but getting just "data:,"My JDK ,selenium and browser are all latest version.
Chrome browser used - Version 76.0.3809.100(32 - Bit)
Java - JDK 1.8
Chromedriver used - ChromeDriver 76.0.3809.126
Code used
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
//import org.openga.selenium.Webdriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
public class CLMTWorkflow {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","H:\\Selenium Prerequisite\\Executables\\IEDriverServer.exe");
//InternetExplorerDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
//System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "H:\\Selenium Prerequisite\\Executables\\geckodriver.exe");
//FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "H:\\Selenium Prerequisite\\Executables\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.myntra.com/");
}
}
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import init.Constants;
public class TestSelenium {
private static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir")+Constants.getChromeDriver());
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
I am getting the error as below
Starting ChromeDriver 2.46.628402 (536cd7adbad73a3783fdc2cab92ab2ba7ec361e1) on port 45163
Only local connections are allowed.
Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.
The chrome browser is opening but the url is not coming up.
I am using
Chrome driver - 72.0.3626.69
WebDriver - 3.0
You can use bonigarcia dependency for your automation. Then you don't need to keep chromedriver.exe or setting up system variables. It will do all the configurations automatically for all the platforms and all the browsers as well.
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>3.3.0</version>
</dependency>
Below is a sample class to get chrome browser instance. You can modify this class as per your requirement.
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class DriverFactory {
public static WebDriver getDriver() {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
return new ChromeDriver();
}
}
I have tested this with Selenium 3.14.0 and Chrome Version 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)
You mentioned using Chrome driver - 72.0.3626.69 but error shows Starting ChromeDriver 2.46.628402. Check if you have correct chrome driver.
The possible reasons:
Old selenium (download 3.14.xx from https://www.seleniumhq.org/download/)
older chrome driver (consider update to the latest chromedriver https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=73.0.3683.68/)
Chrome browser version mismatch (check the browser version and chromedriver compatibility at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads/version-selection)
Older Java version (latest Java version 11.0.2)
it does not open because you have not specify the path of the chromedriver.exe file
please find the below code snippet.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class TestChrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of the exe file\\chromedriver.exe");
// Initialize browser
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Open facebook
driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");
// Maximize browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}
Try to first set the Chrome driver path before calling the Chrome driver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of the exe file\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
Try to set chrome options:
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--whitelist-ip *");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--proxy-server='direct://'");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--proxy-bypass-list=*");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
Step 1: Check your browser version with your webdriver version on this page: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
Step 2: If after followed above step till you have the same issue then follows the below method:
public class TestSelenium {
private static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","user.dir");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
I am new to automation with selenium and trying to run a basic program to launch Firefox and open Google.com. But I get Firefox launched with "about:blank&utm_content=firstrun" Please help. Am on Windows 10 and Firefox version is: 48.0 (latest). I have the latest Selenium drivers and JRE versions too.
Here is my code:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class GoogleTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://google.com");
}
}
I tried this
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
But I'm getting the error as
Failed tests: setUp(com.TEST): The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for more information, see code here . The latest version can be downloaded from this link
How can I make Chrome test the Selenium WebDriver test cases?
You need to download the executable driver from:
ChromeDriver Download
Then use the following before creating the driver object (already shown in the correct order):
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
This was extracted from the most useful guide from the ChromeDriver Documentation.
Download the updated version of the Google Chrome driver from Chrome Driver.
Please read the release note as well here.
If the Chrome browser is updated, then you need to download the new Chrome driver from the above link, because it would be compatible with the new browser version.
public class chrome
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
}
}
You should download the chromeDriver in a folder, and add this folder in your PATH environment variable.
You'll have to restart your console to make it work.
If you're using Homebrew on a macOS machine, you can use the command:
brew tap homebrew/cask && brew cask install chromedriver
It should work fine after that with no other configuration.
You need to install the Chrome driver. You can install this package using NuGet as shown below:
You can use the below code to run test cases in Chrome using Selenium WebDriver:
import java.io.IOException;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class ChromeTest {
/**
* #param args
* #throws InterruptedException
* #throws IOException
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, IOException {
// Telling the system where to find the Chrome driver
System.setProperty(
"webdriver.chrome.driver",
"E:/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver webDriver = new ChromeDriver();
// Open google.com
webDriver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");
String html = webDriver.getPageSource();
// Printing result here.
System.out.println(html);
webDriver.close();
webDriver.quit();
}
}
Find the latest version of chromedriver here.
Once downloaded, unzip it at the root of your Python installation, e.g., C:/Program Files/Python-3.5, and that's it.
You don't even need to specify the path anywhere and/or add chromedriver to your path or the like.
I just did it on a clean Python installation and that works.
Download the latest version of the Chrome driver and use this code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
Thread.sleep(10000);
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com");
On Ubuntu, you can simply install the chromium-chromedriver package:
apt install chromium-chromedriver
Be aware that this also installs an outdated Selenium version. To install the latest Selenium:
pip install selenium
All the previous answers are correct. Following is the little deep dive into the problem and solution.
The driver constructor in Selenium for example
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
searches for the driver executable, in this case the Google Chrome driver searches for a Chrome driver executable. In case the service is unable to find the executable, the exception is thrown.
This is where the exception comes from (note the check state method)
/**
*
* #param exeName Name of the executable file to look for in PATH
* #param exeProperty Name of a system property that specifies the path to the executable file
* #param exeDocs The link to the driver documentation page
* #param exeDownload The link to the driver download page
*
* #return The driver executable as a {#link File} object
* #throws IllegalStateException If the executable not found or cannot be executed
*/
protected static File findExecutable(
String exeName,
String exeProperty,
String exeDocs,
String exeDownload) {
String defaultPath = new ExecutableFinder().find(exeName);
String exePath = System.getProperty(exeProperty, defaultPath);
checkState(exePath != null,
"The path to the driver executable must be set by the %s system property;"
+ " for more information, see %s. "
+ "The latest version can be downloaded from %s",
exeProperty, exeDocs, exeDownload);
File exe = new File(exePath);
checkExecutable(exe);
return exe;
}
The following is the check state method which throws the exception:
/**
* Ensures the truth of an expression involving the state of the calling instance, but not
* involving any parameters to the calling method.
*
* <p>See {#link #checkState(boolean, String, Object...)} for details.
*/
public static void checkState(
boolean b,
#Nullable String errorMessageTemplate,
#Nullable Object p1,
#Nullable Object p2,
#Nullable Object p3) {
if (!b) {
throw new IllegalStateException(format(errorMessageTemplate, p1, p2, p3));
}
}
SOLUTION: set the system property before creating driver object as follows.
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "path/to/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
The following is the code snippet (for Chrome and Firefox) where the driver service searches for the driver executable:
Chrome:
#Override
protected File findDefaultExecutable() {
return findExecutable("chromedriver", CHROME_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY,
"https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver",
"http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html");
}
Firefox:
#Override
protected File findDefaultExecutable() {
return findExecutable(
"geckodriver", GECKO_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY,
"https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver",
"https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases");
}
where CHROME_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY = "webdriver.chrome.driver"
and GECKO_DRIVER_EXE_PROPERTY = "webdriver.gecko.driver"
Similar is the case for other browsers, and the following is the snapshot of the list of the available browser implementation:
To run Selenium WebDriver test cases in Chrome, follow these steps:
First of all, set the property and Chrome driver path:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
Initialize the Chrome Driver's object:
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
Pass the URL into the get method of WebDriver:
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
I included the binary into my projects resources directory like so:
src\main\resources\chrome\chromedriver_win32.zip
src\main\resources\chrome\chromedriver_mac64.zip
src\main\resources\chrome\chromedriver_linux64.zip
Code:
import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.SystemUtils;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;
public WebDriver getWebDriver() throws IOException {
File tempDir = Files.createTempDirectory("chromedriver").toFile();
tempDir.deleteOnExit();
File chromeDriverExecutable;
final String zipResource;
if (SystemUtils.IS_OS_WINDOWS) {
zipResource = "chromedriver_win32.zip";
} else if (SystemUtils.IS_OS_LINUX) {
zipResource = "chromedriver_linux64.zip";
} else if (SystemUtils.IS_OS_MAC) {
zipResource = "chrome/chromedriver_mac64.zip";
} else {
throw new RuntimeException("Unsuppoerted OS");
}
try (InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/chrome/" + zipResource)) {
try (ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(is)) {
ZipEntry entry;
entry = zis.getNextEntry();
chromeDriverExecutable = new File(tempDir, entry.getName());
chromeDriverExecutable.deleteOnExit();
try (OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(chromeDriverExecutable)) {
IOUtils.copy(zis, out);
}
}
}
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverExecutable.getAbsolutePath());
return new ChromeDriver();
}
Download the EXE file of chromedriver and extract it in the current project location.
Here is the link, where we can download the latest version of chromedriver:
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/
Here is the simple code for the launch browser and navigate to a URL.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://any_url.com");
