    I followed the link you shared and after some googling and trouble shooting was able to launch the browser.

    Thanks for the response.

     

    Issue-

    Earlier had copied all my selenium jars to bin/ext folder.

    Now i have copied all the selenium jars to lib folder.

    you need to update jars with latest(delete the old jars in that folder) -

    httpcore-x.x.x

    httpclient-x.x.x

    gauva

    gson

     

    Restart ReadyAPI, run following code to open browser-

    *********************************************

    import org.openqa.selenium.*
    import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver
    import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit

    //Initiate WebDriver
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "filePath/chromedriver.exe");
    log.info(System.getProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver"));

    WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver()


    //Setup Environment
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    driver.get("http://www.apc.com");

    //Your Code
    Thread.sleep(10000)
    driver.quit()

      Yes sanj,it works.

      Able to run my selenese code in ReadyAPI itself.

       

      Follow the above mentioned steps of updating the jars, it should work.

        Thanks

        I forgot to delete the old jars in regards to gson, guava httpcore and httpclient and that gave me the odd exception

        I was able to fire up groovy script and open up chrome.

         

        Its interesting how we get odd exceptions and even googling yields no results!
