How to set path chrome driver in robot framework?
You need chromeDriver not Chrome.Start by downloading the chrome driver.
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
Put it somewhere that your test can access (for example a bin folder relative to your tests).
Now you need to set the environment variable to point the chrome driver.
You can do it from outside the test (for example, as a global setting for your desktop), or from your test setup.
From outside the test
Just set the environment variable webdriver.chrome.driver to point the executable.
(Control Panel -> System -> Edit the system environment variables)
From inside the test
If you're using jython, you need to create a small java library to do that for you
public void setSystemProperty(String key, String value) { System.getProperties().setProperty(key,value);}
And use it from your test
Prepare Selenium Driver Set System Property webdriver.chrome.driver ${EXECDIR}/chromedriver.exe
If you're using Python, you can use the OperatingSystem library
*** Settings ***Library OperatingSystemSuite Setup Setup chromedriver*** Keywords ****Setup chromedriver Set Environment Variable webdriver.chrome.driver ${EXECDIR}/chromedriver.exe
Download Chromedriver.exe from its official website and keep this .exe file in 'C:\Python27\Scripts' directory.Now mention this path as your environment variable eg. C:\Python27\Scripts\chromedriver.exe Now Restart your computer and execute your test case.
In case you need to run your tests against a specific browser version, e.g. because your customers have a managed environment and all use the same browser version at a time, you can maintain the browser drivers in your source code repository and add the respective folder to the PATH during test execution.
My acceptance test folder 'atest' contains a 'bin' folder which contains the browser drivers:
atest bin chromedriver.exe geckodriver.exe ...
Now I can add it to the PATH variable during Suite Setup:
*** Settings ***Library OperatingSystemSuite Setup Include Browser Drivers*** Keywords ***Include Browser Drivers Append To Environment Variable PATH ${EXECDIR}/bin
