Selenium Chrome Driver can't be found - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am trying to use Selenium web driver. I am using asp.net mvc. I have set up a very basic test. I'm basically just trying to open the browser.
Imports NUnit.Framework
Imports OpenQA.Selenium
Imports OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome
Imports OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox
<TestFixture()>
Public Class SeleniumEg
Dim driverFF As IWebDriver
Dim driverGC As IWebDriver
Dim driverPath As String = "c:\chromedriver.exe"
<Test()>
Public Sub OpenBrowser()
driverGC = New ChromeDriver(driverPath)
driverGC.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.ie/")
End Sub
End Class
But when I run test i am getting this Error Message
Result Message:
OpenQA.Selenium.DriverServiceNotFoundException : The file c:\chromedriver.exe\chromedriver.exe does not exist. The driver can be downloaded at http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
I have also tried putting the driver in the soloution, but I am still getting driver does not exist. The error message seems to repeat the file name when saying its location:
c:\chromedriver.exe\chromedriver.exe when it should be c:\chromedriver.exe

Answer 1

From the error message, I think the problem should be evident
Result Message: OpenQA.Selenium.DriverServiceNotFoundException : The file c:\chromedriver.exe\chromedriver.exe does not exist. The driver can be downloaded at http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
The ChromeDriver constructor (pardon me if I am not using the proper .NET terminologies, I am a Java guy) expects the directory in which the chromedriver.exe binary exists and not the actual location of the binary itself. See here
So please change
Dim driverPath As String = "c:\chromedriver.exe"
to
Dim driverPath As String = "c:\"
and see if that helps fix your issue.
