I am able to run the selenium test in our project without using System.setProperty. Not sure how it works, we have set the environment Path variable with value "C:\Akash\Drivers" where all the drivers are stored. Can anyone explain how/ this works without setting up chrome path?
public class SeleniumTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
localSettings();
}
public static void localSettings() {
// System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Akash\\Drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
Please Refer official explanation given Seleniumhq & Chrome,
How it retrieves and Work with Environment Variables :
WebDriver works with Chrome through the chromedriver binary. You need to have both chromedriver and a version of chrome browser installed. chromedriver needs to be placed somewhere on your system’s path in order for WebDriver to automatically discover it. The Chrome browser itself is discovered by chromedriver in the default installation path. These both can be overridden by environment variables.

I have started learning Selenium WebDriver. I have noticed issue like given url not take after firefox browser launched. Please help with the resolution
WebDriver version: 2.53
Firefoxe :48.0
public static void main(String args[]) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("www.google.com");
I see below error
org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output: ,"syncGUID":"0Sec7gq34_7U","location":"app-global","version":"48.0.2","type":"theme","internalName":"classic/1.0","updateURL":null,"updateKey":null,"optionsURL":null,"optionsType":null,"aboutURL":null,"icons"
You need to provide the gecko dirver in the environment variables. You can get the exe from here
set it like this
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\path\\to\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("www.google.com");
}
or just add to you system environment variables
If you want to use another browser just replace the gecko with whatever browser you use. For chrome you would do webdriver.chrome.driver
seleniumhq.org has the exes for all the browsers supported by selenium
My code is very simple
code:
WebDriver wd =new ChromeDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"D:\\List_of_Jar\\chromedriver.exe");
String baseUrl = "https://www.google.com";wd.get(baseUrl);
have downloaded and added jar as "Java-3.4.0" from selenium hq site.
Download Google Chrome Driver-2.29 from the same website and located it in "D:\List_of_Jar" path.
When I run the above code I getting an error as
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for more information, see https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver. The latest version can be downloaded from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(Preconditions.java:738)
Getting version error though did proper configuration. so kindly help me for fixing the issue.
Details:
OS: Windows XP.
Java : JDK1.8 and JRE1.8.
Selenium : version 3.4
Driver path should be set before browser launch as given below.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\List_of_Jar\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver wd =new ChromeDriver();
String baseUrl = "https://www.google.com";
wd.get(baseUrl);"
You are setting chrome driver path incorrectly. Property must be set before WebDriver initialization.
Set property like this -
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\List_of_Jar\\chromedriver.exe")
WebDriver wd =new ChromeDriver();
String baseUrl = "https://www.google.com";
wd.get(baseUrl);"
If you are using IntelliJ IDE, then on IntelliJ without setting up within the 'Run > Edit configurations > VM Options' i will just meet this error:
Failed scenarios:
C:/Users/DATestAdmin/IdeaProjects/TestLogin/src/test/resources/login.feature:4 # Scenario: Successfully logging in
1 Scenarios (1 failed)
3 Steps (3 skipped)
0m0.194s
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property;
So once i've added the path to my chromedriver locally in 'Run > Edit configurations > VM Options':
-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="C:\\Users\\This\\Is\\Where\\ChromeDriverIs\\chromedriver_win32.exe"
I'm now able to launch my Chrome browser successfully.
I totally agree with Murthi, but better is to set relative path to the driver, NOT the absolute.
Relative path looks like:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "src/test/resources/drivers/chromedriver.exe");
Abosulte: is the path to the driver in your PC.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver.exe");
Why?
It is a good practice to have driver inside your project, not just in your computer. Just find or create folder f.e. resources, inside resources create folder called f.e. drivers and import your driver/drivers exe files there.
The below lines works fine
public class TestNGFile {
public String baseUrl = "https://google.com";
String driverPath = "C:\\\\Users\\\\Documents\\\\selenium\\\\chromedriver_win32\\\\chromedriver.exe";
#Test
public void verifyHomepageTitle() {
System.out.println("launching chrome browser");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Documents\\selenium\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
//System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", driverPath);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get(baseUrl);
String expectedTitle = "Google";
String actualTitle = driver.getTitle();
Assert.assertEquals(actualTitle, expectedTitle);
driver.close();
Try:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class Demo2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "I:\\Bhasker-ShiroCode\\work\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://google.com");
}
}
To avoid Error:
webdriver.chrome.driver ( should be in small letters )
have to give correct chromedriver.exe ( correct path )
Import all Selenium jars under class Path
I was getting the same error, since chrome driver was not installed on my machine.
Install the chrome driver. Follow:
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
You should use Chocolatey as the Selenium wiki dictates. It will work straight away.
Windows users with Chocolatey installed: choco install chromedriver
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
I also encountered the same problem. Following fix, made my application run smoothly.
Firstly, the required version of chrome driver could be found from below link.
http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
It is best to use always the latest version. After downloading, set the path of chrome driver in System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","{Your path Chrome Driver}");
Follow the code fragment.
System.out.println("Creating Chrome Driver");
// Set Chrome Driver
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("{Your URL}");
System.out.println("Wait a bit for the page to render");
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(5);
System.out.println("Taking Screenshot");
File outputFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
String imageDetails = "D:\\Images";
File screenShot = new File(imageDetails).getAbsoluteFile();
FileUtils.copyFile(outputFile, screenShot);
System.out.println("Screenshot saved: {}" + imageDetails);
I faced the same issue.
"The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property."
downloaded the driver and have set in system property.

So here is the issue:
Basically I'm trying to invoke Firefox browser with selenium.
package basics;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
public class BrowserInvocation {
/**
* #param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
// There is no import option displaying when mouse over FirefoxDriver such as **import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;**
Console output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation
problem:
FirefoxDriver cannot be resolved to a type at
basics.firefox.main(firefox.java:19)
I'm using latest versions of all software involve (as of May 15 2017) like firefox, java, eclipse and selenium. I have use 32 bit versions and 64 bit versions. tried removing everything and setup environment again but no luck.
I have tried invoking chrome in same environment with chrome driver and so far at least I can invoke the browser.
I am trying to run my first webdriver script in eclipse. using jre1.8.0_1111.
I used the following code but it shows error.please help me with the code.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class Trial {
static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
String baseUrl = "google.com";
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\Naik\\Downloads\\geckodriver-v0.11.1-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
driver.get(baseUrl);
}
Error stack
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property; for more information, see github.com/mozilla/geckodriver. The latest version can be downloaded from github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Download the geckodriver from the below URL and save it on your local machine.
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Then set the right path where the geckodriver.exe is saved.Moreover the set property must be used before declaring the driver!
public class Trial {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String baseUrl = "google.com";
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\Naik\\Downloads\\geckodriver-v0.11.1-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get(baseUrl);
}
You need to first download GeckoDriver. After that, you can either add it to the PATH variable in environment variables sections, or you can set the path using "webdriver.gecko.driver" property. Check the below article for the steps -
http://www.automationtestinghub.com/selenium-3-0-launch-firefox-with-geckodriver/
Also, please make sure that you are using the latest versions of Selenium, GeckoDriver and Firefox.
If you don't want to download geodriver, the other way is
Downgrade the Firefox browser version to 44 or more lesser and run your test.
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
Then you don't have to use gecko driver.
To downgrade firefox to lower version, first uninstall Firefox and the download and install from the link above mentioned
I am using simple selenium example using Web driver classes, but the IE web driver class working fine, but the Firefox is not responding not opening browser and not throwing any error in console.
code is here
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class GoogleSearchFF {
public static void main(String args[]){
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
System.out.println("Loading Google search page");
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
System.out.println("Google search page loaded fine");
}
}
selenium jar files added to classpath..
\selenium-java-2.13.0\selenium-2.13.0\selenium-java-2.13.0.jar
\selenium-java-client-driver-1.0.1\selenium-java-client-driver.jar
\Selenium Latest\selenium-server-standalone-2.13.0.jar
any jar is missing?
The code works for IE by setting proeprty INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS = true
Downgrade the Firefox version to 8 as Selenium 2.13.0 supports Firefox versions upto 8 only.
For reference check this log.
Instead of downgrading Firefox to 8,
You need to download the geckodriver.exe and set the System.property() by
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "pathTogeckodriver");
before calling WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
