public class ChromeDriver
extends RemoteWebDriver
implements TakesScreenshot

A WebDriver implementation that controls a Chrome browser running on the local machine. This class is provided as a convenience for easily testing the Chrome browser. The control server which each instance communicates with will live and die with the instance.

To avoid unnecessarily restarting the ChromeDriver server with each instance, use a RemoteWebDriver coupled with the desired ChromeDriverService, which is managed separately. For example:

 import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

 import org.junit.After;
 import org.junit.AfterClass;
 import org.junit.Before;
 import org.junit.BeforeClass;
 import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
 import org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner
 import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriverService;
 import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
 import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

 @RunWith(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
 public class ChromeTest extends TestCase {

   private static ChromeDriverService service;
   private WebDriver driver;

   @BeforeClass
   public static void createAndStartService() {
     service = new ChromeDriverService.Builder()
         .usingChromeDriverExecutable(new File("path/to/my/chromedriver.exe"))
         .usingAnyFreePort()
         .build();
     service.start();
   }

   @AfterClass
   public static void createAndStopService() {
     service.stop();
   }

   @Before
   public void createDriver() {
     driver = new RemoteWebDriver(service.getUrl(),
         DesiredCapabilities.chrome());
   }

   @After
   public void quitDriver() {
     driver.quit();
   }

   @Test
   public void testGoogleSearch() {
     driver.get("http://www.google.com");
     WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
     searchBox.sendKeys("webdriver");
     searchBox.quit();
     assertEquals("webdriver - Google Search", driver.getTitle());
   }
 }
