selenium 2 chrome driver

Question

So I have read all the docs on adding chromedriver to my path and followed all of them. I am on a Mac with selenium2, maven, eclipse, and all the latest drivers:

Answer 1

You could have a go at using the driver binary downloader maven plugin to download the driver binaries for you (https://github.com/Ardesco/selenium-standalone-server-plugin):

                <plugin>
                    <groupId>com.lazerycode.selenium</groupId>
                    <artifactId>driver-binary-downloader-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>1.0.7</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <rootStandaloneServerDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/test/resources/selenium_standalone_binaries</rootStandaloneServerDirectory>
                        <downloadedZipFileDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/test/resources/selenium_standalone_zips</downloadedZipFileDirectory>                            
                    </configuration>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>selenium</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>

This will download the binaries and set a maven property that you can use in your surefire/failsafe configuration like this:

                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.7.2</version>
                    <configuration>                            
                        <systemProperties>                              
                            <!--Set properties passed in by the driver binary downloader-->
                            <phantomjs.binary.path>${phantomjs.binary.path}</phantomjs.binary.path>
                            <webdriver.chrome.driver>${webdriver.chrome.driver}</webdriver.chrome.driver>
                            <webdriver.ie.driver>${webdriver.ie.driver}</webdriver.ie.driver>
                            <webdriver.opera.driver>${webdriver.opera.driver}</webdriver.opera.driver>
                        </systemProperties>
                        <includes>
                            <include>**/*WebDriver.java</include>
                        </includes>
                    </configuration>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>integration-test</goal>
                                <goal>verify</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>

When you instantiate a new driver object the system property pointing to the driver binary location will now be set and it will just work.

Answer 2

Setting the webdriver.chrome.driver system property via maven can be done by the following (and tested working):

1. Add systemPropertyVariables configuration to the maven-surefire-plugin in your pom.xml. This is (typically) because surefire is the caller for tests and where system properties will be set.

   <plugin>
       <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
       <version>2.7.1</version>
       <configuration>
           <systemPropertyVariables>
               <webdriver.chrome.driver>${webdriver.chrome}</webdriver.chrome.driver>
           </systemPropertyVariables>
       </configuration>
   </plugin>
   

2. Now define ${webdriver.chrome} somewhere. A good start is a <properties> section in your pom.xml

   <properties>
       <webdriver.chrome>/home/gede/bin/chromedriver</webdriver.chrome>
   </properties>
   

Potentially this could be done better via the use of <profiles> like in Simon Martinelli's example

Answer 3

I am not sure about Maven but this how I set the property webdriver.chrome.driver

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\pathto\\my\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");

Answer 4

So in the pom you have to set it like this

                  <dependency>
                  <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
                  <artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>
                  <version>2.34.0</version>
                  </dependency>

This is a java code to run the chrome using selenium

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:/chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver myD = new ChromeDriver();

In order for you to run Chrome you need to download the chrome driver from here. https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list

Once you have done that then you have to set it in environment variable. Read this https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver

 Selenuim Code 

public class App 
{
static String currentDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
static WebDriver driver;

   @BeforeClass
    public static void setupClass() {
        ChromeDriverManager.getInstance().setup();
        driver= new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
    }


@Test
    public void test() {





    System.out.println( "Hello World!" );

    }
  }

Answer 6

System.setproperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","your file path here with chromedriver.exe");
webDriver driver=new chromeDriver();
driver.get("http://google.com");
