Unable to launch HtmlUnitdriver through Selenium 3.4.0

Question

I am tried to run the HtmlUnitDriver with selenium 3.4 and chrome Version 64.0.3282.119 (Official Build) (32-bit). My code is:

package eclipse;

import java.io.File;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.UnexpectedAlertBehaviour;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;  
import org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.BrowserVersion;

public class Unit
{
    WebDriver driver;
    public static void main(String[] args){
        WebDriver driver;
        driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.CHROME);
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

    }
    }

Use this code to Initialize headless browser :

HtmlUnitDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.CHROME ,true);
driver.get("your web URL");

To invoke HtmlUnitDriver with Selenium v3.4.0 you don't need ChromeDriver or Chrome Browser Client instead you can use the org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver module following the solution below :

Code Block :

package HtmlUnitDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;

public class htmlUnitDriver {

    public static void main(String[] args) {


        WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/");
        System.out.println("Invoking Facebook through HtmlUnitDriver");
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
    }
}

Console Output :

Invoking Facebook through HtmlUnitDriver
Facebook – log in or sign up

Note : Ensure that HtmlUnitDriver() is not resolved from :

com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.BrowserVersion;

I am tried with this : But output is - log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. Invoking Facebook through HtmlUnitDriver – Naveen May 14 '18 at 12:25
can you please tell me the HtmlUnitDriver compatible version ? – Naveen May 14 '18 at 12:52
@Naveen This code block will work on **Selenium v3.4.0** and the recent **Selenium v3.12.0**. Simply copy-paste the code and change the _Package Name_ – undetected Selenium May 14 '18 at 12:55
I am using v3.4.0... i have tried simply copy and paste the code but page title are not coming for me ? – Naveen May 14 '18 at 12:57
@Naveen These warning messages **log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.** are coming as you haven't configured `Log4j` module for this project. Else you are getting proper _Console Output_ as follows **Invoking Facebook through HtmlUnitDriver** I think your program is executing just perfect :) – undetected Selenium May 14 '18 at 13:01
Version for Log4j ? – Naveen May 14 '18 at 13:06
@Naveen Leave out `Log4j` for now. That is a separate module to generate more verbose _Log Messages_. Your program is working fine. – undetected Selenium May 14 '18 at 13:07
If reinstalled the log4j its enough ? otherwise how I will get output ? – Naveen May 14 '18 at 13:10
@Naveen Cool down man, take a deep breathe, your program is working fine. You are getting expected output in the console as **Invoking Facebook through HtmlUnitDriver** – undetected Selenium May 14 '18 at 13:14
The other _log messages_ are `WARN` messages and you can ignore them for the time being. – undetected Selenium May 14 '18 at 13:15
