I want to write couple of tests for a web page with Selenium and jUnit4, but I can't figure out how to make Firefox open the URL I need. Without System.setProperty(...) I'm getting Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property; for more information, see https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver. and browser never opens. Yet if I implement it the browser does open on a default start "new page", but the line driver = new FirefoxDriver(); and further never executes.
Below is the simplest code version of what I'm trying to achieve:
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class Main {
static String URL = "http://www.google.com";
static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
//Following code never executes
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//I'm not sure if this is how I'm supposed to open URL, but I never had this code executed.
driver.get(URL);
driver.quit();
}
}

These links were helpful to solve the problem of proper geckodriver installation.

Actually you need to set geckodriver.exe path instead of firefox.exe in this
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
So just replace geckodriver.exe path and try

You are getting this error because you haven't set the path of gecko driver in your code.
Please set the path of gecko driver before creating a new instance of Firefox driver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver"," Path to geckodriver");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Need to add driver path, if you are using selenium jars above 3.0 , if you are using selenium jars below 3.0 your code is good to go, but i guess you are using selenium jars above 3.0
Public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver"," Path to geckodriver");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.gcrit.com/build3/admin/login.php");
driver.findElement(By.name("username")).sendKeys("admin");
driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("admin#123");
driver.findElement(By.id("tdb1")).click();
String url = driver.getCurrentUrl();
if (url.equals("http://www.gcrit.com/build3/admin/index.php")){
System.out.println("Login Successful -Passed");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Login Unsuccessful -Failed");
}
driver.close(); //Closes the Browser
}
The cause of the error is that you don't have a proper setup for detection of a GeckoDriver file named "geckodriver.exe" (this prevents you from being able to open Firefox with your program). In case you don't have such a file, you can download one h̲e̲r̲e̲ (I suggest getting the latest version).
With such a file, you can carry out one of the following two procedures to rectify your problem:
Method 1
Add the path of the folder containing the "geckodriver.exe" file to your PATH environment variable value (instructions on how to modify this variable value can be seen h̲e̲r̲e̲).
Method 2
Prepend the body of your main method with the following statement (where GECKODRIVER_PATH represents the path of the "geckodriver.exe" file):
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "GECKODRIVER_PATH");
Set the gecko driver path which is initialise the firefox driver.

The following phrases from the error implies that there is an error in the line containing webdriver.chrome.driver
The error can be either of the following :
Error in the System Class Method setProperty()(including sequence) :
System.setProperty()
This line should be the very first line in your script.
Error in the specified Key :
"WebDriver.Chrome.driver"
Error in the Value field :
"E:\\chromedriver.exe"
You have to pass the absolute path of the WebDriver through either of the following options :
Escaping the back slash (\\) e.g. "C:\\path\\to\\chromedriver.exe"
Single forward slash (/) e.g. "C:/path/to/chromedriver.exe"
Your code seems to be having two issues as follows :
First issue is in specifying the Key which instead of "WebDriver.Chrome.driver" should have been "webdriver.chrome.driver" as follows :
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\chromedriver.exe");
Second issue is in the sequence of mentioning the Key "webDriver.chrome.driver" in your program which should be before WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); as follows :
System.setProperty("WebDriver.Chrome.driver", "E:\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
I have seen many people are using wrong sequence.
the sequence should be.
First set the property and then launch the browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "F:/chrome/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.navigate().to("https://www.google.com");
Download the chromedriver version corresponding to the chrome version in your system from https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads . Unzip the file and run the below code in the IDE.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class Selintroduction {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Invoking browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\HP\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
}
}
(Path would depend on your file location in the PC.)
I was facing the same error when my code was like so:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\abs\\chromedriver_win32.exe");
It works after adding "chromedriver" before ".exe" like so:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\abs\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
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");

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 windows 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
Add the below mentioned code will work
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", Objects.requireNonNull(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("drivers/chromedriver.exe")).getFile() );
i also got same issue then searched so many answer and apply into my code but result showing null
then after i realized that i had declare static variable on above of class
looks like
private static WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
then i rewrite code on under void main class like
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
now my code running works fine
you can also try like this or let me know so i can help you.
package com.merchantPlatform;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
public class MerchantPlatformTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.getProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Selenium WebDriver\\geckodriver\\geckodriver-v0.17.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
// Initialize WebDriver
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
/* This works fine for versions lesser than Selenium 3. For Selenium 3 and higher, it will throw java.lang.IllegalStateException */
// Maximize Window
driver.manage().window().maximize();
// Wait For Page To Load
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
// Navigate to MerchantPlatform URL
driver.get("http://localhost:52939/");
}
}

You have to use System.setProperty not the System.getProperty as follows.
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",
"C:\\Selenium WebDriver\\geckodriver\\geckodriver-v0.17.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
I have noticed that you are using wrong syntax, to opening the browser.
Instead of using System.getProperty, You have to use System.setProperty as mentioned below.
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Selenium WebDriver\\geckodriver\\geckodriver-v0.17.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");

I am learning how to use Selenium Webdriver using Eclipse IDE. I am trying to import a browser (for example, Firefox), by using ctrl+shift+O, but it does not seem to work. It just says "0 imports added" at the bottom. What am I doing wrong? This is how my script looks so far (see below). I have a red squiggly underline below the word "WebDriver" and "FirefoxDriver":
public class Firefox {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
}
}
Mac:
Command + Shift + O
Windows:
Ctrl + Shift + O (<-- an 'O' not a zero)
For static import:
Ctrl+Shift+ M(Source > Add Import) can not only be used to add missing imports. It can also help with static
Second Edit
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class Firefox {
public static void main(String[] args){
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
}
}
1.Download the selenium jar file
In Eclipse > Right click on your project or Firefox class > Select Build path > Configure Build Path .. Select Libraries tab> Add External Jar> Add Selenium Java jar .
3.Click Ok
==========================
Edit Part Two
It seems now we need to manually download and set path to the driver executable for Mozilla Firefox.
Following is what you need to do:-
1.Downlaod Mozilla GeckoDriver latest version for MAC
Extract on your desired location i.e. c:\GeckoDriver\geckodriver.exe
Now you need to set system property and write following lines to initialize FireFoxDriver object:-
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/Users/yourpath/Downloads/geckodriver");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://seleniumhq.com");
Thats it!
