How to Add Iedriverserver to Path

How to add IEDriverServer to PATH

You need to unzip the IEdriver zip file first. Then provide C:\Users\megaxelize\Downloads in the path. Path to the IEDriver file is the path of the "folder" in which the IEDriver lies.

UPDATE

For a quick test, just drop the IEDriver (not the zip file) and drop it in `C:\Windows\System32. Then run your tests.

How to set a relative path in C# selenium for IE driver

If the path to the file is C:\Users\kamal\Documents\Sample\Sample\bin\Debug\IEDriverServer.exe

The relative path to that is:

driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(Path.GetFullPath(@"..\"), options); 

If its C:\Users\kamal\Documents\Sample\Sample\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\IEDriverServer.exe

you can use driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(".", options);

More detailed the paths are like this:

var projectRoot = Path.GetFullPath(@"..\..\..\"); //which in your case is C:\\Users\\kamal\\Documents\\Sample\\Sample\\
var projectRootBin = Path.GetFullPath(@"..\..\"); // C:\\Users\\kamal\\Documents\\Sample\\Sample\\bin
var projectRootBinDebug = Path.GetFullPath(@"..\"); // C:\\Users\\kamal\\Documents\\Sample\\Sample\\bin\Debug
var projectRootBinDebugNetCoreApp31 = Path.GetFullPath("."); // C:\\Users\\kamal\\Documents\\Sample\\Sample\\bin\Debug\\netcoreapp3.1

WebDriver: I can't set path to IEDriverServer.exe that is in a Runnable Jar

You can't run exe file directly from jar. You can only write a method that would be extract your exe to a temporary folder and then set your System.setProperty to that path value.

You can find some code example there

How do I setup the InternetExplorerDriver so it works

Unpack it and place somewhere you can find it. In my example, I will assume you will place it to C:\Selenium\iexploredriver.exe

Then you have to set it up in the system. Here is the Java code pasted from my Selenium project:

File file = new File("C:/Selenium/iexploredriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

Basically, you have to set this property before you initialize driver

Reference:

• Driver executable must be set by the webdriver.ie.driver system property

internet explorer driver without the need of PATH variable

Apparently, yes. If an executable named IEDriverServer.exe exists in the current working directory (which is explicitly checked), then that instance will be chosen and the PATH check bypassed (the error message is a little misleading).

You can follow the logic in the Selenium source here and here.

How to set path for executable IE drivers in Selenium WebDriver

Place the driver in some location like
C:\Selenium\iexploredriver.exe

Then

File file = new File("C:/Selenium/iexploredriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

Below line should be first line of setUp() function

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "IEDriverServer.exe");   

Setting IEDriverServer location with protractor

The path in question is the environment variable PATH. You can test this by placing the driver executable in somewhere like C:\Windows\System32\ that ought to be in the PATH already, and running the tests.

To add a directory to the PATH, navigate to Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables and locate Path in the bottom window. Select it and click Edit. Enter the directory here, separating it from the previous directory with a semi-colon. For example, you might add the following to the end of the existing path:

;C:\Drivers\

Driver executable must be set by the webdriver.ie.driver system property

1. You will need InternetExplorer driver executable on your system. So download it from the hinted source (http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/) unpack it and place somewhere you can find it. In my example, I will assume you will place it to C:\Selenium\iexploredriver.exe

2. Then you have to set it up in the system. Here is the Java code pasted from my Selenium project:

   File file = new File("C:/Selenium/iexploredriver.exe");
   System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
   WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
   

Basically, you have to set this property before you initialize driver
