Platforms

There are some specific system properties that need to be set for each driver; specifically, the path to the local driver in the GIT repository of the project. By storing the driver in the project, users will not have to download or install the drivers for each browser when testing locally from their IDE. The path also depends on the OS of the development platform. The following examples are for Windows platforms:

• Firefox:
  System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","gecko_driver_windows_path/geckodriver.exe");
• Chrome:
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","chrome_driver_windows_path/chromedriver.exe");
• IE:
  System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","ie_driver_windows_path/IEDriverServer.exe");
• Edge:
  System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver","edge_driver_windows_path/MicrosoftWebDriver.exe");
• Safari: The Safari driver is now built into the browser by Apple
