Robot Framework can't find chromedriver in PATH variable

Question

I want to use Chrome for automation test with Robot Framework. Here are my settings:

*User variables:* name: webdriver.chrome.driver value: C:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe name: PATH values: ......;C:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe 

My code:

*** Settings *** Library BuiltIn Library Selenium2Library Library SikuliLibrary Library OperatingSystem *** Variables *** ${HOST} = VM ${URL} = http://VM.com ${BROWSER} = Chrome *** Test Cases *** Begin Web Test Open Browser ${URL} ${BROWSER} maximize browser window 

After execution of command: pybot test.robot:

============================================================================== [ WARN ] Keyword 'Capture Page Screenshot' could not be run on failure: No brows er is open Test Case FException AttributeError: "'Service' object has no attribute 'process'" in <bound method Service.__del__ of <selenium.webdriver.chrome.service.Service object at 0x000000 0003670278>> ignored Test Case | FAIL | Setup failed: WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH. Plea se see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

What is wrong here?

Thank you

Answer 1

"chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH" means that the location of chromedriver needs to be in the path. In your case, path needs to be "...;C:\chromedriver_win32". PATH contains folders, not executables.

Answer 2

Download Chromedriver.exe from its official website, extract the .exe file and copy this .exe file in scripts folder of Python installation, e.g. C:\Python36\Scripts

After this, add this scripts path in Environment variable, as below:

and now execute your test case.
