- WebDriverManager is an open-source Java library
- It carries out the management (i.e., download, setup, and maintenance) of the drivers required by Selenium WebDriver(e.g., chromedriver, geckodriver, msedgedriver, etc.) in a fully automated manner.
- The primary use of WebDriverManager is the automation of driver.
- With this we can get rid of System property to fetch the driver placed in physical drive or from the project path.

Example:
This is how we set the path for chrome driver once the driver is downloaded and placed in system hard drive .
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D\chromedriver.exe");
Example:
This is how we set the path for chrome driver once the driver is downloaded and placed in system hard drive .
Now, using DriverMnager we can get rid of physical drive path, that is replace the above line of code with
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
This requires the following dependency to be added in pom.xml file.
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.bonigarcia/webdrivermanager --><dependency><groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId><artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId><version>4.3.0</version></dependency>
@Before(order = 0) // Cucumber Before Hook with order 0public void before(Scenario scenario) throws IOException { Log.info("Initiating the chrome driver from Cucumber Before hook with order=0"); WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup(); driver = new ChromeDriver(); driver.manage().window().maximize();}
