internet explorer - Not able to launch IE browser using Selenium2 (Webdriver) with Java

Question

I'm not able to launch IE browser to run my selenium automated tests written in Java. I'm using Windows 7 and IE 9. Below is my code:

Please find the attachment.

public class GoogleNews {
    private WebDriver driver;
    private String baseUrl;
    private StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();
    ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        //driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver =new InternetExplorerDriver();
        baseUrl = "https://news.google.co.in/";

    }

    @Test
    public void testApple() throws Exception {
        driver.get(baseUrl);
    }
}

Answer 1

It needs to set same Security level in all zones. To do that follow the steps below:

1. Open IE
2. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security
3. Set all zones (Internet, Local intranet, Trusted sites, Restricted sites) to the same protected mode, enabled or disabled should not matter.

Finally, set Zoom level to 100% by right clicking on the gear located at the top right corner and enabling the status-bar. Default zoom level is now displayed at the lower right.
