opening chrome in selenium issue

Question

I'm currently taking my first automated test class and the instructor has us creating a program in Eclipse after loading Selenium and create a step in the program to look at an executable to bring up chrome then designate a website to check. It looks like i am stuck in a loop?

Here is the program: java program

Here is the result: program result

any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I think this is what you want

This code is to open the default browser and go to a specific link You can specify the path of any browser you want from the path in the code

import java.awt.Desktop;
import java.net.URI;

public class openBrowser {

    public openBrowser() {
        try {
            if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported() && Desktop.getDesktop().isSupported(Desktop.Action.BROWSE)) {
                Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI("https://www.google.com"));
            }
        }catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
        }
    }
        public static void main(String[]args) {
            new openBrowser();
        }
}

For your code you can follow the following steps

• Download ChromeDriver from here
• Extract the zip file and follow the path ( because it is easy ) C:\\chromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe
• include the ChromeDriver location in your PATH environment variable
• Download the required Libraries from the following junit openqa
• Add the Libraries to your project ( Build Path )

• then this is your code

  import java.util.logging.Level;
  import java.util.logging.Logger;
  import org.openqa.selenium.*;
  import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.*;
  import org.junit.Test;
  
  public class WebDriverDemo {
      @Test
      public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
      WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
      searchBox.sendKeys("ChromeDriver");
      searchBox.submit();
          try {
              Thread.sleep(10000);
  
          } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
              Logger.getLogger(WebDriverDemo.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
          }
          driver.quit();
      }
  }
  

During the implementation of the code in the eclipse, many problems occurred, so I advise you to implement the project on NetBeans I use Java 8 and Windows 8.1
