load chromedriver in spring boot - spring

Question

I'm running a spring boot application and I'm trying to get the chromedriver not load from my local directory but rather from the project resources folder. I have my chromdriver.exe in resources/chromedriver.exe but I'm not sure how can I load it.
I tried this didn't work. Tried filepath to be "resources/chromedriver.exe" didn't work as well
String filePath = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("resources/chromedriver.exe").getFile();
System.out.println(filePath);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", filePath)

Answer 1

If you are using Spring, you could try this:
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
import org.springframework.core.io.Resource;
Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("chromedriver.exe");
String filePath = resource.getFile().getPath();
System.out.println(filePath);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", filePath);

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.*;
import org.junit.Test;
public class GettingStarted {
#Test
public void testGoogleSearch() throws InterruptedException {
// Optional. If not specified, WebDriver searches the PATH for chromedriver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
Thread.sleep(5000); // Let the user actually see something!
WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
searchBox.sendKeys("ChromeDriver");
searchBox.submit();
Thread.sleep(5000); // Let the user actually see something!
driver.quit();
}

For example in Windows if chromedriver.exe is in C:/chromium use:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromium\\chromedriver.exe");
