Java selenium path

Question

I am using the Selenium API, but I got the error

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

Expected location of Chrome is

/usr/bin/google-chrome

but in my computer it is in
/usr/bin/google-chrome

I'm using Ubuntu, how I can fix this issue,

After downloading the chrome driver from here - http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.20/

you will have to add following lines to your code

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

I believe you have not downloaded, external chrome driver file for ubuntu. You should download chrome driver file ubuntu from here. WebDriver API will not work with your already installed chrome browser like Firefox or Safari Browser.

After you have downloaded, You can either include the ChromeDriver location in your PATH environment variable or specify its location via the system property. Here is the link to get started with ChromeDriver.
