As of 2015, the WebDriver specification became part of the W3C standard. The drivers are external, to make it more robust. We need to set the path to the driver executable in order to use the specific
driver. This section describes how to use Internet Explorer.

@Test public void useInternetExplorerDriver() { // Start browser System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", FileUtil.findFileOnPath("IEDriverServer.exe")); final InternetExplorerDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(); // Open website driver.get("http://www.selenium-in-action.io"); // Close browser driver.quit(); }
Find file on path
public class FileUtil { public static String findFileOnPath(final String fileName) { if (new File(FileUtil.class.getClassLoader().getResource(fileName).getPath()).canExecute()) { return FileUtil.class.getClassLoader().getResource(fileName).getPath(); } else { return new File("src/main/resources/" + fileName).getAbsolutePath(); } } }
