How to run Selenium Scripts on Chrome Browser

  

1. Prerequisites to run Selenium scripts on Chrome browser

• Java JDK installed

• Eclipse/IntelliJ IDEA/VS Code IDE

• Chrome browser

• ChromeDriver (compatible with your Chrome version)

• Selenium library

From Selenium 4.6 onwards, you don't need to manually download ChromeDriver — Selenium Manager handles it automatically.

2. Maven Setup

If you’re using Maven, add this to your pom.xml:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>4.20.0</version> <!-- Use the latest -->
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

3. Selenium Java Script for Chrome

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class ChromeTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Initialize ChromeDriver (auto-managed by Selenium Manager from Selenium 4.6+)
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        // Maximize the window
        driver.manage().window().maximize();

        // Open a website
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");

        // Print the title
        System.out.println("Page Title: " + driver.getTitle());

        // Close the browser
        driver.quit();
    }
}

4. If Using Older Selenium (< 4.6)

Download ChromeDriver manually and set the path:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
