Not able to run WebDriver test with Google Chrome

Question

So my code is working with Firefox, but it is not working with Chrome. The erros is apparently in this line itself:

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

And here is the error log report:

Failed tests: setUp(com.TEST): The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for more information, see http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver. The latest version can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list

Answer 1

Firefox is just default browser for tests uptill v2. For doing it with Chrome, you have to use system.setProperty() method to specify the path where your ChromeDriver is present. First of all download the .exe from this link and then provide its path like below: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
