I have written the following code to invoke the Google browser using selenium driver:
package automation_se;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class InvokeChrome {
public WebDriver driver;
public InvokeChrome() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\downloads\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
@Test
public void chromeProgram() {
}
}
On running the program as as TestNG test, it throws the following exception:
org.testng.TestNGException:

Can anyone please help me with this exception? Will be grateful.
I have read similar questions but they all seem to have program specific solutions.
Answer
The exception cause IllegalStateException clearly states
The driver executable does not exist: D:downloadschromedriver_win32chromedriver
You should probably verify that the path is correct and add the extension, modify like this:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"D:\downloads\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe");
