How can I execute Selenide in Chrome using ChromeDriver

Question

I started using selenide (selenium wrapper api) and must say its a great tool but my only issue is its lack of documentation or usage examples online yet.

Any idea h

The below code will help you launch the Chrome Browser with Selenide, and not with the selenium. It means you don't have to issue a close or quit command at the end of the iteration.

import static com.codeborne.selenide.CollectionCondition.size;
import static com.codeborne.selenide.Condition.text;
import static com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.*;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import com.codeborne.selenide.junit.ScreenShooter;

public class SimpleDateFormatClass {

@Rule
public ScreenShooter takeScreenshotSelenide = ScreenShooter.failedTests().succeededTests();

@Test
public void checkGoogleSearchResultsReturnValidResultNumberAndText() {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/usr/bin/chromedriver_2");
    //Doesn't matter chrome or Chrome as this is case insensitive.
    System.setProperty("selenide.browser", "Chrome");
    open("http://google.com");
    $(By.name("q")).setValue("Selenide").pressEnter();

    // assure there are 10 results in the page
    // static import shortcut, place the cursor on the method and press
    // ctrl+shift+m/ cmd+shift+m
    // $ -> driver.findElement, $$ -> driver.findElements
    $$(".iris li.g").shouldHave(size(10));
    $(".iris li.g").shouldHave(text("Selenide World!"));
}

}

This should help you even if you are running from the command prompt/ terminal, but if you want to exclusively pass on the Chrome from cmd you can use the "browser" parameter as below

-Dselenide.browser=chrome
