Using Chrome Driver with Selenium 2

Question

I\'m trying to use Chrome Drive to execute some of my tests, which are working perfectly with Firefox, but I\'m not being able to execute them, I\'m already verified the req

Answer 1

Have you made sure that you have downloaded the Chrome driver from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list and placed it in your PATH?

have a look at http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver for more details

Answer 2

You can set the capabilities to point to the binary of the browser to be launched.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome(); capabilities.setCapability("chrome.binary", "/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser");

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

For ex:- Chromium Browser(33.0.1729.0 )works fine with ChromeDriver 2.7 and not the with the older ones.

You can choose from all the chromedriver version available from the link below:- http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

So try to use the browser version supported by the chromedriver.

Answer 3

Just download the chromedriver_win32_13.0.775.0.zip and selenium-server-standalone-2.0rc3.jar from [http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list][1]

Unzip the chromedriver_win32_13.0.775.0.zip into a folder, Eg. C:/drivers/chrome/, so that the chromedriver.exe is located at C:/drivers/chrome/chromedriver.exe.

Register the node against the hub on port 6668 (for example)

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0rc3.jar -role webdriver -hub http://hubUrlHostname:4444/grid/register -port 6668 -browser "browserName=chrome,version=13.0,platform=windows" -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=C:\drivers\chrome\chromedriver.exe

If you access to

http://hubUrlHostname:4444/grid/console

you should see the Chrome driver registered.

Answer 4

If you are using Maven Project. Follow the below steps

1. Download the latest chromedriver.exe from this link.
2. Create a drivers folder in test. It should look like this src/test/resources/drivers
3. Move the chromedriver.exe to the above path in step 2
4. Use the below code for before creating chrome driver object

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("drivers/chromedriver.exe").getFile());

Answer 5

I was able to get this to work by launching the selenium server like this:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0rc2.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=c:\path\to\chromedriver.exe

(Running Windows 7 64bit, Chrome 12, selenium server rc2)

Answer 6

Download the ChromeDriver.exe from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list then add the system property like so:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "...\chromedriver.exe");
