Using Chrome Driver with Selenium 2

Question

I'm trying to use Chrome Drive to execute some of my tests, which are working perfectly with Firefox, but I'm not being able to execute them, I'm already verified the requirements, which are the location of Chrome, Version 12 or higher, and things like that, but anyway still not working correctly, the way to call the driver is:

WebDriver fd = new ChromeDriver();
fd.get("url");

and then searching some elements, but nothing is working, the error message is:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Couldn't locate Chrome. Set webdriver.chrome.bin System info: os.name: 'Windows XP', os.arch: 'x86', os.version: '5.1', java.version: '1.6.0_18' Driver info: driver.version: ChromeDriver at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeBinary.getChromeBinaryLocation(ChromeBinary.java:220) at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeBinary.getCommandline(ChromeBinary.java:121) at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeBinary.prepareProcess(ChromeBinary.java:67) at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeBinary.start(ChromeBinary.java:109) at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeCommandExecutor.start(ChromeCommandExecutor.java:373) at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver.startClient(ChromeDriver.java:65) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.(RemoteWebDriver.java:85) at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver.(ChromeDriver.java:25) at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver.(ChromeDriver.java:43) at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver.(ChromeDriver.java:53) at equifax.qa.test.NewTests.access.main(access.java:11)

Please if anyone can help me would be great.

Answer 1

I was able to get this to work by launching the selenium server like this:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0rc2.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=c:\path\to\chromedriver.exe

(Running Windows 7 64bit, Chrome 12, selenium server rc2)
