New to the platform & test automation & selenium. I got introduced to Gitpod while attempting https://www.lambdatest.com/certifications/.
for starters I'm stuck trying to run the below simple code snippet in side Gitpod
package project.maven.selenium;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
public class WebDriverManagerDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
WebDriver driver = WebDriverManager.chromedriver().create();
// Navigate to the demoqa website
driver.get("https://www.lambdatest.com/selenium-playground/checkbox-demo");
Thread.sleep(3000);
driver.quit();
}
}
Couldn't find a way pass the error below,
Exception in thread "main" io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.config.WebDriverManagerException: There was an error creating WebDriver object for Chrome at io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager.instantiateDriver(WebDriverManager.java:1775) at io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager.create(WebDriverManager.java:425) at project.maven.selenium.WebDriverManagerDemo.main(WebDriverManagerDemo.java:9) Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:77) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:45)
can someone point out what I'm doing wrong please?
Researched hours but Selenium on Gitpod is not much of a topic, read the getting started guide with Gitpod too, to find a resolution to my problem but no luck before posting here.
