Getting “The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property”though set correct path

Question

My code is very simple code:

WebDriver wd =new ChromeDriver();
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
                     "D:\\\\List         


        

Answer 1

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();

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.

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);"

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);
