39. Running Selenium Webdriver Test In Google Chrome

Running Selenium Webdriver Test In Google Chrome

You can read my POST-38  to know how to run selenium webdriver test of software application in Mozilla Firefox browser. As you know, webdriver software testing tool support Google Chrome browser too. You need to do something extra for launching webdriver test in in Google chrome browser. Let me describe you steps to launch webdriver test in Google Chrome for software web application.

Download ChromeDriver server

First of all, download latest version of ChromeDriver server for webdriver software testing tool. You can download it directly from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads. Current latest version for win32 is "ChromeDriver 2.15" as shown below.

Click on "ChromeDriver 2.15" link. It will take you to download page

Click on link shown above to download chrome driver zip file. On completion of download, extract zip file to D:/ drive 

Now in eclipse, create new project with name = 'chromeproject' and create new class with name = 'chromebrowser'. Don't forget to select 'public static void main(String[] args)' method during new java class creation. Write code as shown below in class file. 

  

package mytestpack;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class chromebrowser

{

            public static void main(String[] args)

            {

                        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");

                        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

                        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

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

                        if (driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='q']")).isEnabled())

                        { System.out.println("Google search text box Is enabled.");

                        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='q']")).sendKeys("WebDriver Test successful.");

                        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@name='btnG']")).click();

                        System.out.println("Google search completed.");

                        }

                        else

                        {

                                    System.out.println("Google search test box Is Not enabled.");

                        }

                        driver.close();

            }

}

Look in to above example. I set path for Google chrome driver as System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");

So now, your software web application's test will run in Google chrome browser.
