I am a beginner to testing. I want to launch Firefox browser. Can anyone explain me the error of below code?

package Script;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class TestEbay_login {
    public static void main (String []arStrings) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\Senani\\Downloads\\Programs\\geckodriver-v0.23.0-win64.exe");  
        WebDriver driver = new  FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
    }
}

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: C:\Users\Senani\Downloads\Programs\geckodriver.exe

    Just a guess, but it seems to me that the property only stores the directory path to the geckodriver and then always looks for geckodriver.exe. Now you have geckodriver-v0.23.0-win64.exe, so as a quick idea you can rename it to geckodriver.exe and see what happens.

  • Please also make sure all the files are extracted from zip and the path you are storing the driver executable is accessible by a program.\

Based on the error message the test is looking for ..\Downloads\Programs\geckodriver.exe while you have ..\Downloads\Programs\geckodriver-v0.23.0-win64.exe.

Renaming geckodriver-v0.23.0-win64.exe to geckodriver.exe should solve the issue.
