Question

My code is very simple code:

  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
                     "D:\\\\List         


        

Answer 1

I also encountered the same problem. Following fix, made my application run smoothly.

Firstly, the required version of chrome driver could be found from below link.

http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

It is best to use always the latest version. After downloading, set the path of chrome driver in System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","{Your path Chrome Driver}");

Follow the code fragment.

        System.out.println("Creating Chrome Driver");
     // Set Chrome Driver
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver.exe");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("{Your URL}");
        System.out.println("Wait a bit for the page to render");
        TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(5);
        System.out.println("Taking Screenshot");
        File outputFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
        String imageDetails = "D:\\Images";
        File screenShot = new File(imageDetails).getAbsoluteFile();
        FileUtils.copyFile(outputFile, screenShot);
        System.out.println("Screenshot saved: {}" + imageDetails);
