如何在 selenium 中不设置本地驱动程序的情况下启动浏览器？ （不访问本地chromeDriver.exe）

Question

public MainActionFlow() {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C://ChromeDriver_test//chromedriver.exe");
    driverForTesting = new ChromeDriver();
    this.driverForTesting.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

is there any way that we can launch browser without local drivers?

Answer 1

I think what you want is- downloading all the driver executables automatically? If so, yes its possible by using BoniGarcia's Webdrivermanager. WebDriverManager helps to download binanries/executables in an automated way. It supports browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera, PhantomJS, Microsoft Edge, or Internet Explorer.

We just need to add its dependency through Maven or Gradle to download all the necessary drivers. It will download ONLY if they are not present on the WebDriverManager cache (~/.m2/repository/webDriver by default).

Add following dependency in your POM

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
    <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
    <version>4.4.3</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Once this is done you can instantiate your driver session by just below line -

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
driver = new ChromeDriver();

You should have some webdriver running at remote computer. Then You do somehting like this:

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://www.example.com"), chromeOptions);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.quit();

Where http://www.example.com is the URL your remote web driver is accessible with.

Used below code, it downloads driver in runtime and accesses the drivers Pom.xml
