I am trying to run the below code but java lang Illegalstate Exception is coming

Question

package org.selenium.sample;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class demo {

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

  System.setProperty("Webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Users\\abby\\Desktop\\geckodriver.exe");
  WebDriver x=new FirefoxDriver();

  x.get("http://google.com");

Answer 1

You are facing this error because while initializing firefox driver, you have used wrong keyword for setting Property i.e. instead of using:

System.setProperty("Webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Users\\abby\\Desktop\\geckodriver.exe");

Use: 

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Users\\abby\\Desktop\\geckodriver.exe");

webdriver.gecko.driver is the correct keyword for firefox driver. Now java is case-sensitive, so using Webdriver.gecko.driver, it will throw an error.

Hope this would help.
