java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist chrome driver

I would like to open url in chrome driver by applying object repository concept. Below given is my selenium programme which contain two file one is testng file and another one is config.property file
chromedriver="E:\\selenium bwosers\\chromedriver.exe" url="https://www.google.co.in"

I saved above programme as config.property in configuration folder 

package sele_prac_pkg;

import java.io.File;   
import java.io.FileInputStream;  
import java.util.Properties;  
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;  
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;  
import org.testng.annotations.Test;  

public class Object_repo  
{  
  @Test  
  public void f() throws Exception   
  {  
        File file=new File("./configuration/config.property");  
        FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(file);  
        Properties pro=new Properties();  
        pro.load(fis);  
        String url_var=pro.getProperty("url");      
        String chromedriver_var=pro.getProperty("chromedriver");        
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",chromedriver_var);  
        WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();   
        driver.get(url_var);  
  }  
}

when i execute above code it shwoig java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist error

Solution

  • Two things

    1. You don't have to put quotes around the values in property files
    2. are you sure you have given the right path, to me it looks like spelling mistake selenium bwosers shouldn't it be selenium browsers
