How to execute Selenium Webdriver in Chrome Browser
Hello Welcome to Selenium Tutorial, today we will discuss Launch Chrome Browser using Selenium Webdriver.
Selenium Webdriver by default support firefox browser only that is the reason we did not face any issue while working with Firefox.In order to execute your script in the different browser like chrome, IE etc.
If you are working with IE browser then you should know the challenges as well which you will face while working with IE browser. This is one of the most important question in interviews as well.
We have to download separate drivers and we have to specify the path as well with the location of the driver.
Note- Selenium Webdriver supports chrome latest version.
You can refer complete YouTube video
Step 1: Download Chrome Drive
Open any browser and open http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/
Here you will get third party driver section and you can get all the external driver for different browsers.
Click on 2.22 link
Note- Latest chrome version is 2.22 so you will get the latest version
Here you will get the driver zip file which you can extract, after extraction, you will get chromedrive.exe file
Note- Selenium provides only 32 bit but you can use the same for 64-bit machines as well. Practically I tried and it works fine
Program for Run Selenium Webdriver in chrome Browser
package demotc;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class Openchrome {
@Test
public void test12() throws Exception{
// Initialize browser
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
// Open Google
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
// Close browser
driver.close();
}
}
Output:-
Script in ChromeBrowser
Your test case will fail and you will get IllegalStateException which says we need to specify the chrome driver path where it resides.
If you notice Selenium also gives a very meaningful message that we need to add some chrome variable also while running the script.
Variable name is – webdriver.chrome.driver
In Java to set variable we use setProperty method of System class so let us add the same in our program
Sample Program for Launch Chrome Browser using Selenium Webdriver
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class TestChrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of the exe file\\chromedriver.exe");
// Initialize browser
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
// Open facebook
driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");
// Maximize browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}
Thanks for visiting my blog. Keep reading. Have a nice day 🙂
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
{
System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”,”C:\\Users\\Pradeep\\Downloads\\Selenium Driverch\\chromedriver.exe”);
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.get(“https://www.facebook.com/”);
driver.close();
}
}
But facing same issue
error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module format not recognized: C:\Users\Pradeep\Downloads\Selenium Driverch\chromedriver_win32.zip
Hi Pradeep,
Please check whether chromedriver being given is correct or not. Enable Show File extensions in Windows explorer settings and reconfirm file path
Hello Mukesh !
I am not getting the “import( from openqa…..)” option when I hover the mouse over WebDriver.
Hope you can help.
Thanks!
Hi Shaheen,
Check whether you are able to see Selenium dependency into the project build path. Also, there shouldn’t any duplication for the same under build path.
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: C:\Users\sourav\Desktop\chromedriver_win32.exe
i am getting this; error
Hi Priyanka,
Kindly check whether you have given the correct file path and key as “webdriver.chrome.driver” because this is case sensitive
Hi,
I am getting below error ;
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable is a directory: C:\Users\hp\Downloads\chromedriver_win32 (1)
Hi Nidhi,
Path which you have given C:\Users\hp\Downloads\chromedriver_win32 (1) is not driver.exe path. Kindly check it again
Hello Mukesh,
First of all thanks for the tutorials, your contents are easy to understand.
I just installed the most recent version of Eclipse and added the Jars.
I tried launching Chrome and Firefox Browsers and getting following error with both.
Error: Unable to initialize main class ChromeBrowser.LaunchChrome
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/WebDriver.
Thanks,
Ritu
Hi Ritu,
Hope you are using Java 8, if not the install it

I had tried to open Google or other different browsers, it open a blank browser, but then immediately closes.
I have installed jdk1.8.0_231 and selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar.
What do you think?
Hi Alejandro,
Kindly check whether your chrome browser is also on the same version(i.e. 80.0.3987.16) as mentioned above.
Moreover, could you please try with Selenium 3.141.59.
Tuve el mismo problema y se debía a que la versión del ChromeDriver (v84) era más actual que la versión de mi navegador Google Chrome (v80).
Solución: Actualicé el navegador Google Chrome.
Hi Elias,
Kindly mention in English so that everybody can understand your thoughts…:)
sir, from past 10 days i tried different websites scripts to launch a browser it did not work finally it worked with your simple srcipt thank u for this
You’re welcome lalitesh…
Feel free to drop your doubts in comment section…:)
Hi , What code I have write here when i need to ask user to enter URL manually instead of directly passing in csript
Hi Shalu,
There are multiple ways to handle this requirement. As it looks interactive then you user has to pass url in runtime through cmd/terminal.
If you are using maven project then using surefire plugin, we can pass url value as parameter. Other way is to provide url as parameter from terminal which should be accepted by java main class as arguments later on passed to your actual script.
Hi Mukesh,
when i executed the above code ,I am getting the below error even though I mentioned the correct path of chrome driver.
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist:
can you please let me know why I am getting this.
Thank you.
Hi Revathy,
I hope you have mentioned full path of driver executable which includes extension too…
After watching your YouTube video I resolved my mistake and it’s working fine.
Thank you for the response.
Hi Revathy,
Great…:)
Thanks..Now it’s working.
Cheers…!!!
Thanks Mukesh for your prompt response.
I’ll check and update you in case of any issues
Sure…:)
Hi Mukesh,
While executing below code I am getting below mentioned error message
Error: Unable to initialize main class ChromeBrowser.LaunchApplication
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/WebDriver
Currently I have installed Java 1.9.0.4 along with “selenium-java-3.141.59” version.
Kindly suggest if any alternative solution for the same.
Immediate response would be highly appreciated.
Hi Lakshmi,
Better uninstall JDK 9 -> Restart your machine -> Install JDK 8 -> Then run your code
Thank you so much Mukesh Otwani.
It’s working now, don’t get tired of helping us…GOD Bless You 🙂

Hi Mukesh
I have a small doubt, i have done an automation for login page when it loads to firefox browser and launches the login page. In URL tab a robot logo is displaying, when i move cursor on it, it is showing message as Browser under remote control.
So what it means ?
Whether i’m using Selenium RC or it is just showing message?
Hi Qa,
It is informational message and it doesn’t affect your test automation. It is informing that browser is being handled without human intervention…:)
Hi Mukesh,
I am currently working on revamping the existing code using Chrome Driver(It was written for firefox earlier).Only recently I have started getting this error while loating elements, it was working fine till now:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Element … is not clickable at point (375, 58). Other element would receive the click: …
Can you please suggest me how to get this resolved? Do I need to use javascript executor for every element identification from now on?

Hi Vineet,
Thanks for your overwhelming comment…:)
I execute your given code, open window but not going to the website.occur this error. How to solve this problem. I need the code for open private(incognito) window in chrome

Hi Sebastian,
First of all, chromedriver version which you’ve used is too old. Version 2.35 is latest one. Secondly, if you want to open chrome browser default in incognito mode then kindly use ChromeOptions with argument as –incognito
hi mukesh,
I will write this code but not open private window.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
public class Selenium
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”, “C:\\chrome driver.chromedriver.exe”);
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments(“incognito”);
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
driver.get(“http://www.javatpoint.com”);
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
}
}
Hi Sebastian,
You have to pass chromeoptions as argument to webdriver.
Hi mukesh,thank you
I get private window. I will given two url in open two tabs but two urls opened with single tab.how do you get two tabs in chrome .
driver.get(“http://google.com”);
System.out.println(driver.getTittle());

driver.get(“http://bing.com”);
System.out.println(driver.getTittle());
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“body”)).sendkeys(keys.CONTROL + “\t”);
System.out.println(driver.getTittle());
Hi Sebastian,
Use robot class to open another tab https://vistasadprojects.com/mukeshotwani-blogs-v2/robot-class-in-selenium-webdriver/ then switch driver control to new tab
Hi,
I tried running selenium with Chrome, however, getting the pop up as Google Chrome has stopped working. How to resolve this issue? Please help
Hi Prashant,
Kindly ensure that you are using latest Chrome and Chromedriver version in corresponding machine.
Hi mukesh,
I have one question but its not related to above topic.
actually i want to check weather my test case is pass or fail using listener in MS-test for selenium C#.
Hi Suraj
Apologies, I don’t support C#. But if it comes from Java then obviously TestNG help you.
Hi mukesh,
I have query on xpath’s
currently we are writing script with one xpath. if xpath is wrong or something changes in the application my script will fail. so i have scenario like i have to pass two xpaths where if one xpath fails find element method should take second xpath. is there any logic to do like this?
??
Hi Rakesh,
Use ‘or’ logic in while building xpath. Like //input[@value=’submit’ or @class=’submit_class’ or @title=’Submit’ or @type=’submit_button’]
Thanks for reply mukesh, you gave great idea but when we use following-siblings ,indexing or will not work know
Hi Rakesh,
You can give a try to text in your application also. You need to confirm with application ui developer that which all properties remain stable in ui. Because automation is carried out for regression testing and ui properties should be stable.
Hi Mukesh, in your “How to handle Element is no Clickable….” tutorial you haven’t used System.setProperty(); line. How to provide this particular functionality or have you done some pre-execution setting…????
Hi Shrikant,
In my blogpost, there are two things which you need to observe, Code snippet and video. I would suggest you to go through video first.
How to automate browser settings using selenium?
i have scenario like i want automate chrome browser settings->search proxy -> LAN btn-> Automatic Configuration->uncheck 1st checkbox-> select 2nd checkbox -> add address in Text box….? can we do it by using selenium?

You can access Settings of chrome browser just like we do any web application.
Hi Mukesh, ur videos are very understandable and helps a new person to learn.
I am facing a issue I have recently installed selenium in my system and had run a basic script for which I am getting “Disable developer mode pop up is displayed due to which my case is getting failed.

Thanks for your comments. You are always welcome to my bog…:)
Which chrome browser version is supported for selenium.
Hi Namani,
As such there is no specific details for same. Only thing is, always use latest version of chromedriver.
Very good information I got from this forum and thank you so much mukesh for all your patience in answering in everyone’s query.
Hi Pavithra,
Happy to read from you.
if i run the code in chrome than its showing plz enable the developer mode how to fix this issues
Hi Sonu,
Is it a pop up on right corner of screen ? If so then use chrome options as follows
ChromeOptions opts = new ChromeOptions();
opts.addArguments(“–disable-extensions”);
driver = new ChromeDriver(opts);
Hi Mukesh,
First-of-all,a big thanks on such a simple yet informative post.
Actually I am a beginner in Selenium/Automation, and I am trying to execute a simple script using Eclipse IDE on chrome browser to open up a page “google.co.in” as mentioned in the code below-:
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class TestChrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”, “C:C:\\Users\\inpdhawan\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32”);
// Initialize browser
ChromeDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
}
But on Running the Script , even though Eclipse IDE shows no error but no webpage is poened up in the browser.
Can you please provide a solution to this.I am stuck here from past one week.
Regards
ZORO
Hi Zoro,
If I am seeing correctly then you have given an unappropriate path for chromedriver.exe. I can observe C drive in path mentioned twice. Moreover also add .exe at end of chromedriver_win32.
Hi Mukesh,
The workaround provided nailed the problem
🙂
Thanks a ton for your prompt reply
Cheers..!!!
Thank u mukesh,
What u said abt clearing history is correct but

Hi Sanjay,
Can you try with keyboard shortcut for clear history using robot class.
Hello Mukesh,
I want to clear chrome browser history.How to clear browser history
Hi Sanjay,
Selenium always opens new profile/fresh instance of browser by default along with no addons/extensions. So there is no need to clear history separately.

Apart from this is there any method to invoke chrome browser?
Hi Rahul,
Another way is you can set chromedriver path in env variables and then everytinme it will start with driver.
Hi Mukesh,
Can you please tell from Selenium IDE how this will work to work on multiple browsers? Let’s say for example I test a web application/webpage and I want to run it in Chrome and IE, please explain step by step process with Python
Hi Dilshad,

Apart from this is there any method to invoke chrome browser?
Hi Swetha,
You can set driver in path variable then you don’t have to mention path in test scripts.
I created a system variable with the name as ‘webdriver.chrome.driver’ and value as ‘D:\software\chromedriver64’
then in the system path variable i have added in the front %webdriver.chrome.driver%
Is this the right way ? Do We need to mention chroredriver.exe also somewhere
its not working the above way
Hi Gaurav if you keep driver path in System variable then it will work.
Hi,
I have provided the path for chromedriver in my code.
System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”,”C:\\Users\\mitngh01\\Desktop\\Driver\\chromedriver.exe”);
System.out.println(“zxcv”);
WebDriver d = new ChromeDriver();
Still getting error as
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/base/Function

Hi,
In Case of Maven Project, We are adding dependencies. So How to specify path for Chrome Driver?
Hi Manjunath,
In case of Chrome driver you can keep driver in resource folder then specify the path
Thanks Mukesh for your time and solution provided.
Your most welcome Gajendra 🙂
HI,
How would you make a test script to run on different versions of a web browser.
Say, i have a TC to be verified with chome 32 version only and same should work on ie 9, 10 and 11, or may be with little alterations.
i think i need to have different node machines with these versions of web browsers installed there.
Please clarify me on the best practice on this query.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gajendra,
You can use https://saucelabs.com/ or https://www.browserstack.com/ which do the same thing.
If you want to implement the same in your local system then you should have different machines with different configurations.
Hope its clear for you 🙂
Thanks

How to overcome this error
Hi Sagar,
If you using Java other than version 8 then uninstall the existing one -> Restart your system -> Install Java 8 and try the same once again.
