Getting “The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property”though set correct path

Question

My code is very simple code:

WebDriver wd =new ChromeDriver();
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
                     "D:\\\\List

If you are using IntelliJ IDE, then on IntelliJ without setting up within the 'Run > Edit configurations > VM Options' i will just meet this error:

Failed scenarios:
C:/Users/DATestAdmin/IdeaProjects/TestLogin/src/test/resources/login.feature:4 # Scenario: Successfully logging in

1 Scenarios (1 failed)
3 Steps (3 skipped)
0m0.194s

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property;

So once i've added the path to my chromedriver locally in 'Run > Edit configurations > VM Options':

-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="C:\\Users\\This\\Is\\Where\\ChromeDriverIs\\chromedriver_win32.exe"

I'm now able to launch my Chrome browser successfully.
