Chomedriver “The driver is not executable”

Question

I have my chromedriver and chromedriver.exe right in project folder. I\'m creating instance of driver with this code.

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptio         


        

Answer 1

I had same problems but in my case the everything was working fine but suddenly I started getting this error, so It wouldn't be access problem I thought.

So for reference to set the chrome driver or firefox driver I was using below snippet.

Utils.setSystemProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
                classLoader.getSystemResource("utilityJars" + File.separator + "chromedriver_mac").getPath());

I think case the path is in target folder when classes are compiled. So the value of

classLoader.getSystemResource("utilityJars" + File.separator + "chromedriver_mac").getPath()

is

/{user.dir}/target/classes/utilityJars/chromedriver_mac

So may be it had some issue accessing chromedriver on that path, may be not compiled or something not sure, but I just deleted the target folder and re-executed it and it worked.
