ChromeDriver class is used to run the Selenium WebDriver Automation Tests on Google Chrome Browser.
Lets Implement This:
Pre-requisites:
1. Create a new Java Project say 'WebDriver-Project13' in Eclipse IDE
2. Configure the Project to work with Selenium WebDriver
3. Create a package say 'package13' under the newly created project.
4. Create a Java Class file say 'Class13' under the newly created package as shown below:
Actual Steps:
1. Write the following code into the newly created Java Class file as shown below and make sure that you resolve all the errors before going to next step:
2. Save and Run the 'Class13.java' file by selecting the 'JUnit Test' option and observe that the Test got failed with the following error as shown below:
3. Now in order to overcome this error, lets set the path to the driver executable by following the next steps.
4. Open https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list and download the chromedriver.exe by clicking on the chromedriver link as shown below:
5. Observe that 'ChromeDriver Server for windows 32 ' page will be displayed as shown below:
6. Find out the Chrome Browser versions which are supported by this ChromeDriver server as shown below and make sure that you have appropriate Chrome Browser version installed on your machine:
8. Observe that the ZIP file got downloaded as shown below:
9. Extract the ZIP file as shown below (I use WinRAR software for extracting the ZIP files):
10. Observe that chromedriver.exe file got extracted as shown below:
11. Copy the extracted chromedriver.exe file and paste it under the C drive of your computer as shown below:
12. Copy the statement System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path\\to\\chromedriver.exe"); and paste it to the setUp( ) method in our automation code as shown below:
13. Now replace the existing path with the path of the chromedriver.exe file which is under the C Drive on your machine as shown below:
14. Now Save and Run the 'Class13.java' file by selecting the 'JUnit Test' option and ensure that Selenium WebDriver Automation Test has Run in Chrome Browser as shown below:
