    As the exception clearly states, you have to provide the path to the chrome driver executable. This can be set in your java code System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver") or it cant be passed at the command line -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=/path/to/chromedriver

    • Where to put this code? System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver") in method or library?CommentedJul 2, 2016 at 8:30
    • At the line where you are referencing the chrome driver, you can paste the path of the chrome driver.
