Unable to launch HtmlUnitdriver through Selenium 3

Question

I am tried to run the HtmlUnitDriver with selenium 3.4 and chrome Version 64.0.3282.119 (Official Build) (32-bit). My code is:

package eclipse;

import java.io.File;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.UnexpectedAlertBehaviour;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;  
import org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.BrowserVersion;

public class Unit
{
    WebDriver driver;
    public static void main(String[] args){
        WebDriver driver;
        driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.CHROME);
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

    }
    }

Answer 1

To invoke HtmlUnitDriver with Selenium v3.4.0 you don't need ChromeDriver or Chrome Browser Client instead you can use the org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver module following the solution below :

• Code Block :

  package HtmlUnitDriver;
  
  import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
  
  public class htmlUnitDriver {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
  
  
          WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
          driver.manage().window().maximize();
          driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/");
          System.out.println("Invoking Facebook through HtmlUnitDriver");
          System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
      }
  }
  

• Console Output :

  Invoking Facebook through HtmlUnitDriver
  Facebook – log in or sign up
  

Note : Ensure that HtmlUnitDriver() is not resolved from :

com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.BrowserVersion;

Answer 2

Use this code to Initialize headless browser :

HtmlUnitDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.CHROME ,true);
driver.get("your web URL");
