I was trying to run various web drivers (ChromeDriver and HtmlUnitDriver) in my maven Java project, but I encountered errors which I suspect to be maven dependency issues. I am seeing if anybody could help me spot the source of the error?
Below are the error messages:
(For ChromeDriver)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for more information, see http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver. The latest version can be downloaded from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

I have examined my pom.xml file (relevant section as below) and I am still not sure where the problem lies.

And here is the test class on which I am running the web drivers.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
public class TestClass {
public static void main(String[] args){
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users/tank/Documents/workspace/chromedriver");
WebDriver webDriver = new ChromeDriver();
webDriver.get("http://www.google.com");
}
}
Any form of help/feedback on the possible sources of errors will be appreciated :) Thank you!
PATH.selenium-htmlunit-driver, selenium-chrome-driver and selenium-java, all of them should be exact match, so you don't have conflicting dependencies. Also, you shouldn't explicitly add commons-httpclient, since it may conflict with an already defined dependency.
selenium-chrome-driver and selenium-htmlunit-driver in your case, without anything else.
