Auto download Driver Executables using WebDriverManager | Web Automation | Selenium |
In this video, I have explained how we can use webdrivermanager and auto-download the driver executables into our local system.
WebDriverManager allows automating the management of the binary drivers (e.g. chromedriver, geckodriver, etc.) required by Selenium WebDriver.
If you use Selenium WebDriver, you probably know that to use some browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera, PhantomJS, Microsoft Edge, or Internet Explorer, first you need to download the so-called driver, i.e. a binary file which allows WebDriver to handle browsers. In Java, the path to this driver must be set as JVM properties, as follows:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/binary/chromedriver");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/path/to/binary/geckodriver");
System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.driver", "/path/to/binary/operadriver");
System.setProperty("phantomjs.binary.path", "/path/to/binary/phantomjs");
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "C:/path/to/binary/msedgedriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:/path/to/binary/IEDriverServer.exe");
This is quite annoying since it forces you to link directly this binary file into your source code. In addition, you have to check manually when new versions of the binaries are released. WebDriverManager comes to the rescue, performing in an automated way all this dirty job for you.
WebDriverManager is open-source, released under the terms of Apache 2.0 License.
To use WebDriverManager from tests in a Maven project, you need to add the following dependency in your pom.xml (Java 8 or upper required):
mvnrepository.com/artifact/io...
... or in Gradle project:
dependencies {
testCompile("io.github.bonigarcia:webdrivermanager:3.8.1")
}
public class ChromeTest {
private WebDriver driver;
@BeforeClass
public static void setupClass() {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
driver = new ChromeDriver();
}
}
Notice that simply adding WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup(); WebDriverManager does magic for you:
✔ It checks the version of the browser installed in your machine (e.g. Chrome, Firefox).
✔ It checks the version of the driver (e.g. chromedriver, geckodriver). If unknown, it uses the latest version of the driver.
✔ It downloads the WebDriver binary if it is not present on the WebDriverManager cache (~/.m2/repository/webdriver by default).
✔ It exports the proper WebDriver Java environment variables required by Selenium
WebDriverManager resolves the driver binaries for the browsers Chrome, Firefox, Opera, PhantomJS, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, and Chromium. For that, it provides several drivers managers for these browsers. These drivers managers can be used as follows:
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();
WebDriverManager.operadriver().setup();
WebDriverManager.phantomjs().setup();
WebDriverManager.edgedriver().setup();
WebDriverManager.iedriver().setup();
WebDriverManager.chromiumdriver().setup();

Hi Sir,WebDriver Manager plugin has the driver version of chrome is 86 but my local google chrome version is 85 and it throws me error while executing.We have a method called version() we can overcome the issue for time being but is there any way of permanent solution to this problem.
@HYRTutorials

No there is no permanent solution for that. 1. Use the version method to download specific version of chromedriver.exe 2. Update the local chrome browser to latest version. Any of the above two solutions can solve your problem.

This might happens because of maven dependency scope. Change your webdrivermanager dependency scope from test to compile by following below steps: 1) Open your pom file and click on dependencies tab in the bottom. 2) select webdrivermanager dependency and click on properties. 3) change scope to compile and save the changes.
