How to run selenium tests on Chrome beta or Chrome Canary browsers.

Solution : You can ask ChromeDriver to use a Chrome executable in a non-standard location.

Syntax

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.setBinary(“/path/to/other/chrome.exe”);

Now for example you want to run test in chrome beta. you can download chrome beta and get binary location of your chrome beta. for example you got it like : C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome Beta\\Application\\chrome.exe

Syntax:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.setBinary(“C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome Beta\\Application\\chrome.exe”);

Same way for chrome canary

Syntax:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.setBinary(“C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome SxS\\Application\\chrome.exe”);
