The driver executable must exist

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class SeliniumTest {
public static void main(String [] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new Chrome driver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
enter code here
}
}
When I run this, I get an illegal Exception:
the driver executable must exist: c:\TestProject\drivers\chromedriver.exe
I tried multiple times to install the IDE and download the right version of drivers on both Mac and Windows, but I get the same error. Can someone please help?

updated correct chrome driver path/driver version and add selenium jar too, but still getting below issue , could you help me for this?

code :
package Demo1;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class Chrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver= new ChromeDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\New folder\\chromedriver.exe");
driver.get("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtmeQOcdIKI");
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
}
}
error :

You are setting the system property too late.
Looking at the stacktrace, the exception is being thrown while executing the following line of your code:
WebDriver driver= new ChromeDriver();
At that point, the line of your code that sets the system property hasn't been reached yet.
Evidently, you need to set the system property before creating the ChromeDriver object.

The first line in your main method should be :
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\New folder\\chromedriver.exe");
something like this.
public class Chrome {
WebDriver driver = null;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\New folder\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtmeQOcdIKI");
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
}
}
should get the job done.

cannot convert from ChromeDriver to WebDriver in selenium webdriver with java, how to overcome from this?

i am trying this code but it fails
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class Fijan {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:Users\\Devrepublic\\Documents\\fijan\\selenium\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("");
}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from ChromeDriver to WebDriver
at prac.Fijan.main(Fijan.java:12)
how to overcome from this problem

The chromedrive path should end with extension of the driver.
So, change your line as below.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:Users\\Devrepublic\\Documents\\fijan\\selenium\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");

Install Selenium with Netbean

I want to setup the selenium with netbeans and got an error.
If any one help me, its good for me.
Code:
package testfirst;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
/**

public class Testfirst {
/**
* #param args the command line arguments
*/
private static WebDriver driver = null;
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
System.setProperty("WebDriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\haseeb.saleem\\Desktop\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https:\\google.com.pk");
}
}

BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)

As stated in the exception, the name of the system property is: webdriver.chrome.driver and not WebDriver.chrome.driver. Please make changes accordingly.

It is syntax error in setproperty() method, the correct code is :
private static WebDriver driver = null;
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\haseeb.saleem\\Desktop\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https:\\google.com.pk");
}
Also it is good to use single forward slash
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/Users/haseeb.saleem/Desktop/chromedriver.exe")

Please download Geckodriver from below mentioned link
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases.
In Your Test program set Geckodriver path-
public class links {

WebDriver driver;
//System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette", "D:\\vidya\\selenium\\geckodriver-v0.13.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
driver =new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
