selnium chromedriver.exe executable needs to be in PATH [dup] - selenium

selenium not work, and tried many things
i know this has been ask allllllllot, but i dont know what's going on my computer
1. added enviorment path
2. basically put chromedriver.exe every location in my file
3. correct version (chromedriver and chrome)
4. added executable_path
5. i can opne chromedriver.exe in cmd
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options, executable_path=r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chromedriver.exe')
all above is not work, i just wanna use selenium,any good idea? except reload system? (win10)

From the image picture , your chromedriver is clearly in the wrong path. Go to your command prompt , and run
chromedriver.exe
See if you are not able to execute it , it means that the path is incorrect.
Remedy
1) you need to make sure you have install Chrome.
2) Get the latest chrome driver here
3) Set path in your environment
4) In your script , this alone should work
browser = webdriver.Chrome()

Is it Firefox or Geckodriver, which creates "rust_mozprofile" directory

Whenever we invoke Firefox, under '/tmp' directory rust_mozprofile directories are getting created. As Firefox internally calls Geckodriver we are not sure whether Firefox or Geckodriver is creating rust_mozprofile directory.
I do want to know whether Geckodriver or Firefox because, my '/tmp' directory is having less memory.
So the question is I really want to modify the path of creating directories for rust_mozprofile.
I am using below technologies,
Selenium - 3.3.0
Firefox - 52.2.0
Geckodriver - 13
Please give us some suggestion, if there is any.
If you have a closer look at the geckodriver v0.18.0 logs closely you will observe the very first occurrence of rust_mozprofile occurs in the following line:
1504762617094 Marionette CONFIG Matched capabilities: {"browserName":"firefox","browserVersion":"56.0","platformName":"windows_nt","platformVersion":"6.2","pageLoadStrategy":"normal","acceptInsecureCerts":false,"timeouts":{"implicit":0,"pageLoad":300000,"script":30000},"rotatable":false,"specificationLevel":0,"moz:processID":5848,"moz:profile":"C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\rust_mozprofile.OfFuR9ogm33d","moz:accessibilityChecks":false,"moz:headless":false}
This log clearly indicates that marionette is being configured with:
"moz:profile":"C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\rust_mozprofile.OfFuR9ogm33d"
And this configuration is done by the WebDriver instance i.e. the GeckoDriver.
It's the GeckoDriver which internally configures the Marionette which in-turn initiates the Mozilla Firefox Browser.
IMO, this workflow is in practice since we migrated from the Legacy Firefox to Marionette based Firefox. Hence the same must be the case with Geckodriver - 13 as well.
Update:
GeckoDriver as an application/exe file:
You can set the location with the TMPDIR envvar. It's also useful to set both TMP and TEMP for other programs.
A solution is to use driver.quit() this closes all browsers and takes care of the profiles
Another solution is to add a custom profile
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile('specify location to profile .default')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp)
I had a similar problem and I solved it by changing the Environment settings in Windows. Meaning that I changed the directory for the TMP and TEMP files, and after a reboot, the rust_mozprofile folder was generated where I wanted it.
This is the source I used: https://www.toolsqa.com/selenium-webdriver/how-to-use-geckodriver/ Specifically the "Set property in Environment Variables:-" section.
Sadly this will effect all Software that saves files to those folders. (In my case that is what I wanted though.) If there is a way to make only the rust_mozprofile folder be created in a specific directory through the program, I would love to learn more.

Could not open connection: The path to the driver executable must be set

I had used selenium2 ave behat but I find this problem
enter image description here
I downloaded the application geckodriver since link which exists in problem in i puts the in C:/selnium and I put this path to the environments path but the problem remains .
version of mozilla firefox is 52.0.1 and version of geckodriver is v0.15.0
help me please and thank you

JMeter with Webdriver Sampler - Browser window not opening

I am running Jmeter with the Webdriver plugin installed on Windows 7. My current test plan contains the Webdriver sampler and Firefox driver config. When I try to run the test plan, nothing happens. There is nothing recorded in the View Results Tree window, and the remaining test indicator in the top right hand corner counts down to 0 without anything happening.
When I deactivate the Webdriver Sampler and Firefox driver config elements, the remaining tests run without a problem.
Is there a bug with this software, or am I missing something? My code is below, if that helps.
var pkg = JavaImporter(org.openqa.selenium)
WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart()
WDS.browser.get('https://test.test.test.test') var username =
WDS.browser.findElement(pkg.By.id('USERNAME')).sendKeys([WDS.args[0]])
var password =
WDS.browser.findElement(pkg.By.id('PASSWORD')).sendKeys([WDS.args[1])
WDS.sampleResult.sampleEnd()
I have installed firefox 26, as this is the recommended supported browser, so it's not that there's no compatible browser.
My main question is this - Why doesn't the browser window open? Why do the other tests in the test plan fail to run when the config elements are active?
In 99% of cases the answer should be in jmeter.log file. In the meantime a couple of recommendations:
add the following line to system.properties file (lives in the /bin folder of your JMeter installation)
webdriver.firefox.bin=/path/to/your/firefox.exe
See https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/FirefoxDriver page for other Firefox-related properties
locate all duplicate http* libraries like httpcore*.jar httpmime.jar etc. and remove the ones with lesser version
restart JMeter to pick the property and the changes up
Check out The WebDriver Sampler: Your Top 10 Questions Answered guide for other tips and tricks
You need to make sure you provided the full path of the Firefox driver in the jp#gc config element.

Where do I see what firefoxdriver selenium starts while testing?

I have installed firebug for FF. But when i start firefox it always starts some default ff version, i dont' know where selenium finds it.
I already googled alot, tried to use different firefoxbinary:
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
final File firefoxPath = new File(System.getProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin")) ;
FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary= new FirefoxBinary(firefoxPath);
firefox = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxBinary,null);
I tried to use different ff profile:
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.addExtension(file);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.currentVersion", "1.9.1");
Alas, it does not work!
1. I don't know where to change/find webdriver.firefox.bin
2. I have tried changing path as environment variable,still no progress
maybe I m doing something wrong?
By default, Selenium will open a "vanilla" Firefox profile. If you want to have it launch with your profile, you can do that, but you have to select which profile you want to use. I will warn you that you often don't want to have your regular profile used because you'd like a clean, consistent working environment.
But you could certainly:
set up a profile (call it, for instance, selenium-profile using
Firefox's profile manager
run Firefox choosing that profile--from
Windows's Run dialog run "c:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla
Firefox\firefox.exe" - P" or the equivalent path to FF if you are
32-but.
install Firebug using that profile.
then choose that profile when you launch your tests.
For information about how to do all this, look at this article.
Then, in your code, you can just call that profile. Step 3 in the article linked above shows how to do this.
Firefoxdriver starts a new default profile on each instance and this profile will be created in your temp folder and will be deleted after you quit the driver. There might be some old instances of ff profile which contains older version of firebug in your temp folder which might be not be deleted as webdriver quited unexpectedly.Try clearing your temp. It might help you as it did for me.

Selenium/Watir can't detect Chromedriver, even though it's in my path (Windows 7)

I know there's another question similar to this, but the link provided by the answerer is out of date (and when I dig into the current Watir documentation I only find info on Windows 8.1; I am on Windows 7, and the step that doc suggests for resolving this is not helping me per below)
I am attempting to execute a test using Watir/minitest (along the lines of rake ci:setup:minitest test TEST=test/full_path/happypath_test.rb), and it chokes on the following:
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError: Unable to find the chromedriver exec
utable. Please download the server from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.c
om/index.html and place it somewhere on your PATH. More info at http://code.goog
le.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver.
The Watir documentation and error message both point to the PATH. However, I have just downloaded the latest version of Chromedriver (2.12, it appears) and plonked the exe in a folder that I have confirmed is in my PATH (specifically c:/Ruby193/bin - yes I know I'm on an old Ruby version; alas not something I can update for this project)
I know Chromedriver is present because I can run it from irb:
require 'watir-webdriver
followed by
b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
This launches a chrome window just fine. But when I actually try to execute a test it gives the "can't find chromedriver" error.
I've run bundle install to try and be sure I'm on the right versions of things and don't know what else to do. Any help, please?
Specify the driver_path directly to Selenium.
Simply call this before launching your new browser window:
Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Service.driver_path = "/absolute/path/to/chromedriver"
This also has the benefit of not requiring you to muck up your PATH and you can checkthis into your repo (of course, make the path dynamic to your project root directory, etc.).
I found real nice posts here and here. You can configure in super easy steps.
I have tried and tested working superb.
From post 1:
Change from firefox to chrome (wherever you have instantiated the browser ), so that it will become:
#browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
Now if you are on Windows, copy paste the downloaded binary file in C:/Windows directory`
Second post tells about how to change the default path c:\windows to your project's custom path. Its interesting and helpful. Take a look for sure.
