Unable to execute the exported jar file exported from eclipse for the selenium webdriver test

Question

package devops;

//import org.openqa.selenium.By;

//import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;

public class htmlunitdriver {

public static void main(String[] args) {

HtmlUnitDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(true);

driver.get("http://localhost/content/about-us.php");

//WebElement linkByText = driver.findElement(By.linkText("About Us"));

     

    // linkByText.click();

    if(driver.getPageSource().contains("ijaz"))

    

         System.out.println("Text is present in the page");

    

     else

     

         System.err.println("Text is not present in the page");

    driver.quit();

}

}

This code executes immaculately within eclipse. But when I tried to execute from the Linux terminal it throws errors. The error is as follows

Hi Ijaz

Looks like when you are executing on the local machine, you have included the chrome driver. While executing it on the Linux terminal which does not have a GUI, the driver fails.

In this case, you will have to include the HTML driver instead of the chrome driver and package it the right way. It will run for sure . i have tried it on my project and it has worked.

Follow the steps mentioned in the link and you should be able to achieve it very easily
