I am getting 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

Below is my code

 import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

 import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

 org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

 import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;


 public class TestDemo {


   public static void main(String[] args) {

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chromedriver.driver",

           "C://Users//balwinder//Desktop//chromedriver.exe");

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();


/*try {

    Thread.sleep(5000);

} catch(InterruptedException ex) {

    System.out.println(ex.getMessage());

}*/

   }}

set webdriver.chrome.driver instead of webdriver.chromedriver.driver

 System.setProperty("webdriver.chromedriver.driver",

           "C://Users//balwinder//Desktop//chromedriver.exe");

Should be:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",

           "C:\\Users\\balwinder\\Desktop\\chromedriver.exe");

OR

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",

           "C:/Users/balwinder/Desktop/chromedriver.exe");

NOTE: it will work only if you are first setting the system property and then instantiating chrome driver.

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Demo2 {

       public static void main(String[] args) {

              // TODO Auto-generated method stub

              System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "I:\\Bhasker-ShiroCode\\work\\chromedriver.exe");

              WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

              driver.get("http://google.com");

       }

}

To avoid Error

webdriver.chrome.driver  ( should be in small letters )

have to give correct chromedriver.exe ( correct path )

Import all Selenium jars under class Path

which jar files need to be associated?

@Mina, you need to import all the Selenium Standalone Server (latest version) and Selenium Server (latest version) Jar files into your project. You can download these files with any version of your choice from here: http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

in the output, the cursor points to the search bar and is not searching for anything
Could you please post the code snippet you are using? Have you tried the solutions suggested in the answers?

Hi, your code is throwing these exceptions because you are setting the system property in a wrong manner, instead of using "WebDriver.Chrome.Driver", use "webdriver.chrome.driver" in System.setProperty() function. As, you should know that Java is a case-sensitive language, so if you set system properties in capital-case, system won't recognize the property and hence, will throw an exception. 

Similarly, for firefox driver, use "webdriver.gecko.driver" as system property.
