I am trying to launch chrome.exe from selenium webdriver i have chrome installed on my machine and chromedriver path is also given in code but selenium webdriver for java is looking for chrome.exe on wrong path and giving error and not launching browser.
I have tried options class to locate the chrome.exe with the actual path of chrome.exe but not working for me.I have done required imports as well but still no success.
I have tried below selenium webdriver java code
public class News24Test
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C://News24SA//ChromeDriver//chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("C://Program Files(x86)//Google//Chrome//Application//chrome.exe"); // Provide absolute executable chrome browser path with name and extension here
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("http://www.news24.com");
}
}
Selenium is looking at below path which is wrong path
C:\Users\orestip\LocalSettings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Try setting the options first:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("C:\\Program Files(x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\News24SA\\ChromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Make sure the chromedriver version and the chrome browers versions match.
You can either update your chrome browser to match the driver version or you can choose a chromedriver that matches your browser version.
Hi so old question but if anyone else is a bit stumped by this, I'll give my take.
So, you may one day have a working chromedriver and then it suddenly just stops working. What actually happens is Chrome updates behind the scenes and makes it out of date.
What you need to do is update your chromedriver so it matches your actual, normal Chrome installation.

I tried converting python code to java code but I don't know how to do it.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--lang=en");
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
webDriver = new ChromeDriver(options);
This is my settings before google chrome opens.
You are just missing to set the chrome driver path. Pass the chrome driver path to SetBinary() in the below code:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions()
options.addArgument("--disable-gpu");
options.addArgument("--no-sandbox");
options.setBinary("/path/to/chromedriver");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
The way that you are tring to do this, is the Hard Coded way and you will encounter a lot of bugs along the way. So I recommend the Driver Management Software way.
Get WebDriverManager (Github, Offical Website) and import the following library:
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
Call the setup() method like this:
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
Initialize the driver:
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

My code is not launching browser.
Project show running for a long time, but nothing happens. I pushed print and observed that WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); is not getting executed.
package seleniumautomation;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class seleniumautomation {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:/selenium_java/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.navigate().to("https://www.zaakpay.com/");
}
}
After some debugging, I am getting this new error:
I added manifest_vesion, but in every run, it is generating a new file and i am again getting same error.
Download jar from: http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.23/
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"<Downloaded file location>");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.zaakpay.com/");
Then, it will work.
To use Chrome Browser needs to System.setPropert("webdriver.chrome.driver","PATH")
The ChromeDriver is maintained / supported by the Chromium project iteslf. WebDriver works with Chrome through the chromedriver binary.
Download Link of ChromeDriver : LINK
You need to add chromedriver.exe(can be downloaded from http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/) to your project. Along with it, you need to add following lines in your code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", PATH_TO_EXE_FINAL);
capabilities= DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setBrowserName(DesiredCapabilities.chrome().getBrowserName());
Use following code snippet to launch chrome driver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", PATH_TO_EXE_FINAL);
ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions();
opt.addArguments("disable-extensions");
opt.addArguments("--start-maximized");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(opt);
I solved the issue by changing my OS windows 10 language to english. selenium methods can not execute some other languages. If in both IE, geckodriver and chrome you are having the same issue it is language problem I can asuure you
enter image description hereTrying to check the version you installed in web driver and the version you currently use in you chrome
I want the detailed steps. Like from scratch and in serial order.
I know that we want to install the chromeDriver then:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
#Indrajit
that all for it any way refer the following
Step1: Click Here to download chromedriver.exe
Step2: add the following code to your java file
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:/your/path/to/Driver/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
Beside this if you are looking for any other query, please be specific on it.
The two code lines you mentioned, are the basic steps are required to instantiate the chrome driver. If you have any specific query then you should mention that.
I am using Selenium and trying to initialize the Chrome driver to start without a start up window.
ChromeOptions options= new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--no-startup-window");
//I tried this line also: options.addArguments("--silent-launch");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(Capabilities);
I am getting the following exception:
Unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited normally
Can anybody help me?
You need to download the binary first from selenium website, download binary according to your specifications:-
http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.19/
Now set below code so selenium script will know the path of your binary
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","./src\\lib\\chromedriver.exe");
So the code should be like this:-
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","./src\\lib\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options= new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--no-startup-window");
//I tried this line also: options.addArguments("--silent-launch");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
Hope it will help you :)
I think the flag you are looking for is --headless
This feature has just been implemented in chrome 57
--no-startup-window is used for hosting background apps, see this page and as mentioned in the other answers doesn't launch a window which is why the webdriver can't talk to it.
--headless does launch a window, but doesn't make it visible.
I am using Selenium and trying to initialize the Chrome driver to start without a start up window.
According to Selenium GitHub (Strange error, chromedriver with --no-startup-window), Selenium requires JavaScript and Chrome window to work:
Much like --disable-javascript, the chromedriver will not work if you use --no-startup-window.
It needs to launch a window to establish the connection with the AutomationProxy.
I have some tests using JUnit and Selenium, and I need to run it on the Chrome browser. I downloaded the Chrome driver, and configure my SetUp() as:
#Before
public void SetUp() throws Exception{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
baseUrl = ;
driver.get(baseUrl);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);//Wait 5 seconds to load the page
}
The ChromeDriver.exe are added in my "Referenced Libraries" folder.
When I'll run the tests, the following error is displayed:
java.lang.exception: No runnable methods
Anybody know how can I fix this?
SOLUTION
1º Add the chromedriver in the path of your computer.
2º Update your setProperty as: System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\pedro_nazario\\Desktop\\ChromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");
The second parameter must be the way where is your Chromedriver.exe in my case, the chromedriver are in a folder on desktop.
The most important thing, that you never forget
When you'll run the tests, before, close your Chrome browser completely. Any chrome browser must be open before you run your tests. If have some chrome browser opened, the selenium will take a error in your screen.
According to the documentation, webdriver.chrome.driver should contain the path to the chromedriver executable:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
Alternatively, you can add path to the chromedriver to the PATH environment variable.
