If you are having problems setting up ChromeDriver, make sure you check ChromeDriver's official page.

To use Chrome as driver in seleniumQuery, see below.

Simplest alternative: let seleniumQuery download and configure the driver for you

$.driver()
    .useChrome() // sets Chrome as the driver
    .headless() // configures chrome to be headless
    .autoDriverDownload() // automatically downloads and configures chromedriver.exe
    .autoQuitDriver(); // automatically quits the driver when the JVM shuts down

// now use normally
$.url("http://www.google.com/?hl=en");
$(":text[name='q']").val("seleniumQuery"); // the keys are actually typed!
$(":button[value='Google Search']").waitUntil().isVisible().then().click();

To get the latest version of seleniumQuery, add to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.seleniumquery</groupId>
    <artifactId>seleniumquery</artifactId>
    <version>0.18.0</version>
</dependency>



If you already have chromedriver.exe downloaded and want to use it

If you have manually downloaded chromedriver.exe (chromedriver, if linux) is at your PATH or classpath, do:

// will look for chromedriver.exe at the classpath; at 
// the "webdriver.chrome.driver" system property or at the system PATH
$.driver().useChrome();

// now use normally
$.url("http://www.google.com/?hl=en");
$(":text[name='q']").val("seleniumQuery"); // the keys are actually typed!
$(":button[value='Google Search']").waitUntil().isVisible().then().click();

If chromedriver.exe is not at your PATH or classpath, use:

// will look for the executable server in the given path. Path can be relative.
String chromeDriverPath = "C:\\myFiles\\chromedriver_evenRenamed.exe";
$.driver().useChrome().withPathToChromeDriverExe(chromeDriverPath);

// now use normally
$.url("http://www.google.com/?hl=en");
$(":text[name='q']").val("seleniumQuery"); // the keys are actually typed!
$(":button[value='Google Search']").waitUntil().isVisible().then().click();

chromedriver.exe's latest version can be downloaded from ChromeDriver download page.

Fix:

Make sure you have the latest dependency on:

And you are using the latest Chrome Driver executable (chromedriver.exe).

Or let seleniumQuery automatically download and configure the executable for you:

$.driver()
    .useChrome() // sets Chrome as the driver
    .headless() // configures chrome to be headless
    .autoDriverDownload() // automatically downloads and configures chromedriver.exe
    .autoQuitDriver(); // automatically quits the driver when the JVM shuts down

// now use normally
$.url("http://www.google.com/?hl=en");
$(":text[name='q']").val("seleniumQuery"); // the keys are actually typed!
$(":button[value='Google Search']").waitUntil().isVisible().then().click();

To get the latest version of seleniumQuery, add to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.seleniumquery</groupId>
    <artifactId>seleniumquery</artifactId>
    <version>0.18.0</version>
</dependency>
