How to run my selenium runnable jar in a different machine without driver files

Question

I am trying to export my project as a runnable jar and run it without driver.exe files being present. I tried incorporating them with below code to make it independent but still unable to run the jar file without driver files being presenting in the same folder.

code:

String currentDir=System.getProperty("user.dir");

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", currentDir+File.separator+"chromedriver.exe");

Answer 1

You can use WebDriverManager for this purpose:

You can download the dependency by Gradle:

dependencies {
    testCompile("io.github.bonigarcia:webdrivermanager:3.6.1")
}

Then on the code, you just need to setup the driver and create the driver objects:

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

You can find details about driver version here.
