Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Question

I am executing script using Selenium Webdriver to download a file. My code is-:

package AllScripts;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.*;
import org.testng.annotations.*;

public class FileDownload_AutoIT {
    WebDriver driver;
    @BeforeMethod
    public void init()
    {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C://Selenium driver/geckodriver.exe");
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
        capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
        driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3,TimeUnit.MINUTES);
    }
    @AfterMethod
    public void stop()
    {
        driver.quit();
    }
    @Test
    public void testDownload() throws InterruptedException, IOException
    {
        
        driver.get("http://seleniumhq.org/download/");
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("3.3.1")).click();
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        
        new ProcessBuilder("E:\\FDownload.exe").start();
        Thread.sleep(8000);

        
    }

}

 

The error that I get is

Answer 1

As specified in the exception stack trace, your file E:\FDownload.exe is not found at the locaiton. Looks like its an AutoIT file and you have placed it somewhere else.

Kindly check exact spelling, as Java is a case sensitive language.

Also, try using forward slash E:/FDownload.exe if you think your location is correct.

Answer 2

Why are you trying to run exe file? Is it a AutoIT script? If it is I recommend you to convert it to batch file and run the batch file. E:\\FDownload.exe". And also going by your error trace, it looks the error is because of not able to find the location. Please make sure to provide the exact address path and hopefull it should works.
