In this blog, you’ll find out how to run your Selenium Test Scripts on Chrome Browser.
Chrome browser implements the WebDriver protocol using an executable called ChromeDriver.exe. This executable starts a server on your system which successively is liable for running your test scripts in Selenium.
Let us consider a test suit during which we’ll attempt to automate the subsequent scenarios in Google Chrome browser.
• Launch Chrome browser.
• Maximize the browser.
• Open URL: www.tecklearn.com
• Scroll down through the online page
• Click on “Core Java” link from the Java Technology section.
We will create our third test suit within the same test suite (Demo_Test).
Step1. Right click on the “src” folder and make a replacement Class File from New > Class.
Give your Class name as “Third” and click on on “Finish” button.

Step2. Open URL: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads in your browser.
Step3. Click on the “ChromeDriver 2.41” link. it’ll redirect you to the directory of ChromeDriver executables files. Download as per the OS you’re working currently on.

For windows, click on the “chromedriver_win32.zip” download

The downloaded file would be in zipped format. Unpack the contents during a convenient directory.

Step4. Set a system property “webdriver.chrome.driver” to the trail of your ChromeDriver.exe file and instantiate a ChromeDriver class.
Here may be a sample code to try to to that.

1. // System Property for Chrome Driver
2. System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\ChromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");
3.
4. // Instantiate a ChromeDriver class.
5. WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();

Step5. Now it’s time to code. we’ve embedded comments for every block of code to elucidate the steps clearly.

1. import org.openqa.selenium.By;
2. import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
3. import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
4. import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
5.
6. public class Third {
7.
8. public static void main(String[] args) {
9.
10. // System Property for Chrome Driver
11. System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\ChromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");
12.
13. // Instantiate a ChromeDriver class.
14. WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
15.
16. // Launch Website
17. driver.navigate().to("http://www.tecklearn.com/");
18.
19. //Maximize the browser
20. driver.manage().window().maximize();
21.
22. //Scroll down the webpage by 5000 pixels
23. JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
24. js.executeScript("scrollBy(0, 5000)");
25.
26. // Click on the Search button
27. driver.findElement(By.linkText("Core Java")).click();
28.
29. }
30.
31. }

The Eclipse code window will appear as if this:

Step6. Right click on the Eclipse code and choose Run As > Java Application.

Step6. The output of above test script would be displayed in Chrome browser.
