How to Run Webdriver in chrome browser?

To run the Chrome browser in selenium we need to download the Chrome driver separately from the below link
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/. It will provide you with the latest driver and it’s nothing but an ‘.exe file’. You just need to download it and unzip the file in a proper location.

I can assume that you already know how to install selenium and setup a selenium project. If you do not know how to then you can refer to my previous post selenium installation process for the purpose of setting up a selenium project.

The next thing you need to do is to set the property for Chrome driver and specify its location via the property ‘webdriver.chrome.driver’ as stated below.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "pathofchromedriver");

For the next part what you need to do is to provide the path of the Chrome driver. In my case, my Chrome driver is located in ‘D:/workspace/TestProject/src/chromedriver.exe’ . Here,yYou need to provide your Chrome driver path at "pathofchromedriver"; and after that, you need to initialize the chormeDriver

WebDriver  driver = new ChromeDriver();

Open the browser using the ‘get’ method

driver.get(https://www.google.com");

Let’s try to open a Chrome browser using selenium webdriver.

 package com.test;  
 import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;  
 import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;  
 public class SeleniumMethod {  
  static WebDriver driver;  
  public static void main(String argc[]){  
  openURL();  
  }  
  public static void openURL(){  
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:/workspace/TestProject/src/chromedriver.exe");   
  driver = new ChromeDriver() ;  
  driver.get("https://www.google.com");  
  }  
 }
