How to set property for chromedriver when repo is downloaded from maven?

Question

I have set up the chrome driver path

D:\Projects\QA Automation\Main\DeBeers_Automation>set -Dchromedriver="D:\Projecs\QA Automation\Local Repository\org\seleniumhq\selenium\selenium-chrome-driver\2.53.1"

 

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver");

 

This results into NullPointer Exception

Answer 1

If you are using set you can do it as below.

 

D:\Projects\QA Automation\Main\DeBeers_Automation>set chromedriver="D:\\Projecs\\QA Automation\\Local Repository\\org\\seleniumhq\\selenium\\selenium-chrome-driver\\2.53.1\\chromedriver.exe"

 

And in the code, you can get it as below.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getenv("chromedriver"));

 

You have to use -D in case of if you are passing it as a maven command argument as below.

>mvn clean test -Dchromedriver="D:\\Projecs\\QA Automation\\Local Repository\\org\\seleniumhq\\selenium\\selenium-chrome-driver\\2.53.1\\chromedriver.exe"

Hope this helps.
