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

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

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 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.

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.

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();
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");
