So I have been trying to make a program that can interact with a webpage to input data. I ideally wanted to use Chrome so I tried to set up Selenium WebDriver and ChromeDriver.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
public class Chrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Set chromedriver path
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:/Users/Username/Desktop/Comp Sci work/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Open Google
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
// Maximize browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}
I seem to have set up the external JARs correctly as I can import them with no problem. The problem is for some reason the Chrome process cannot be created. I thought this might've been because there was already a Chrome process open but no. I still got the same error when I killed the process.
I then tried to set reset the path to Chrome, as the default one might've been different to mine, but still no luck.
public class Chrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Set chromedriver path
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:/Users/Username/Desktop/Comp Sci work/chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Open Google
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
// Maximize browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}
The error message is:
Starting ChromeDriver 2.41.578737 (49da6702b16031c40d63e5618de03a32ff6c197e)
on port 43997
Only local connections are allowed.
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown

As the chromedriver seems to start fine the problem is simply in creating the chrome process but I can't seem to find out why. Any help would be appreciated(Also tips about my post formatting, as this is my first post). Thanks
