How to set Google Chrome in WebDriver

Question

I am trying to set Chrome as my browser for testing with Web-Driver and set the chromedriver.exe file properly but I am still getting the following error:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: 
The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; 
for more information, see http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver. 
The latest version can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list

I have already checked the path of the driver but still i am getting same error.
I don't know where i have made a mistake.

Here is my code:

File file = new File("C:\\chromedriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
Capability= DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
Capability.setBrowserName("chrome");
Capability.setPlatform(Platform.LINUX);

browser=new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(nodeURL),Capability);
browser.get(webUrl);

Please help me!!

Answer 1

Aditya,

As you said in your last comment that you are trying to access chrome of some other system so based on that you should keep your chrome driver in that system itself.

for example: if you are trying to access linux chrome from windows then you need to put your chrome driver in linux at some place and give permission as 777 and use below code at your windows system.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "\\var\\www\\Jar\\chromedriver");
Capability= DesiredCapabilities.chrome();   Capability.setPlatform(org.openqa.selenium.Platform.ANY);
browser=new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(nodeURL),Capability);

This is working code of my system.
