I get this error when I try to run my test in Chrome:
Initialization method AutomationUsingSelenium.SmuladorChrome.MyTestInitialize threw exception. OpenQA.Selenium.DriverServiceNotFoundException: OpenQA.Selenium.DriverServiceNotFoundException
What is the cause?
Finally I resolved my issue as follows:
1) I copied chromedriver.exe in Chrome directory link, but you can put it in any directory. I decided to put it here.
2) I Initialized a new instance of the ChromeDriver class using the specified
// path to the directory containing ChromeDriver.exe
My code:
IWebDriver drive = new ChromeDriver
("C:\\Documents and Settings\\...\\ApplicationData\\Google\\Chrome\\Application");
And it works just perfect. Thanks All.
Install Selenium.Chrome.WebDriver NuGet package to the project and you will not get the error again.
In Visual Studio, right click the Project, click Manage NuGet Packages... , Search for Selenium.Chrome.WebDriver and click install.
Enjoy Selenium.
Lets assume chromedriver.exe is present in below path: G:\Selenium_Csharp\Jar\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe
To execute your test in Chrome set the path to the directory/folder containing chromedriver.exe without selecting chromedriver.exe file name.
driver = new ChromeDriver("G:\\Selenium_Csharp\\Jar\\chromedriver_win32");
driver.Url ="http://www.gmail.com";
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
OR
driver = new ChromeDriver(@"G:\Selenium_Csharp\\Jar\\chromedriver_win32");
driver.Url ="http://www.gmail.com";
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
This is the error i see: OpenQA.Selenium.DriverServiceNotFoundException: The chromedriver.exe file does not exist in the current directory or in a directory on the PATH environment variable.
I resolved this problem by specifying the 'testsettings' argument in the command to run the unit tests.
E.g.
E:\Development\SampleProject\SampleProject.MvcWebApp\SampleProject.MvcWebApp.JavaScriptUnitTests\JavaScriptUnitTests\bin\Debug>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe" /testcontainer:JavaScriptUnitTests.dll /category:"JavaScriptUnitTests" /testsettings:..\..\..\Local.Testsettings /resultsfile:..\..\..\..\..\MsTestResults\SampleProject.MvcWebApp.JavaScript.Tests.trx
I use "/testsettings:......\Local.Testsettings" because the Local.testsettings file is 4 levels higher than the level where I am executing this command. You should change it accordingly.
This is the command used in ccnet.config file
<exec>
<executable>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe</executable>
<baseDirectory>SampleProject.MvcWebApp\SampleProject.MvcWebApp.JavaScriptUnitTests\JavaScriptUnitTests\bin\Debug</baseDirectory>
<buildArgs>/testcontainer:JavaScriptUnitTests.dll /category:"JavaScriptUnitTests" /testsettings:..\..\..\Local.Testsettings /resultsfile:..\..\..\..\..\MsTestResults\SampleProject.MvcWebApp.JavaScript.Tests.trx</buildArgs>
<successExitCodes>0</successExitCodes>
</exec>
System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\..\\Drivers\\chromedriver.exe"); IWebDriver drive = new ChromeDriver();
