Here is my code:

package Basics;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class invokegoogle {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    System.setProperty("Webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\sravani\\Desktop.exe");
    WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("http://qaclickacademy.com");

    }

}

Getting the following errors:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for more information, see https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver. The latest version can be downloaded from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

    at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver.<init>(ChromeDriver.java:124)
    at Basics.invokegoogle.main(invokegoogle.java:12)

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Assuming the chromedriver.exe is stored at your desktop, you need to make a couple of changes as follows:

  • You need to replace the uppercase W with lower case w within Webdriver.chrome.driver.
  • As you are on system, presuming chromedriver.exe is placed in your desktop ypu need to append the WebDriver variant name along with the extension within the absolute path of the WebDriver.

  • Effectively the line of code will be:

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\sravani\\Desktop\\chromedriver.exe");

Note: webdriver.chrome.driver needs to start with lowercase letter.

Once you download chrome driver into your system, after extracting it (unzipping it) into the folder, it looks like you have directly copied the folder path "Downloads/chromedriver_win32.exe", instead using full path as below mentioned

Open the folder (chromedriver_win32.exe), then you will see "chromedriver.exe" as .exe file, and use this path instead and it looks like this

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", C:\Downloads\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe");

This will work

Add your chrome driver to java resource folder

Driver location

Add the below mentioned code will work

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", Objects.requireNonNull(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("drivers/chromedriver.exe")).getFile() );
