Run as java application brings up select java application screen, no further instruction

Asking because I'm following Guru99's time sensitive selenium course and the code that I have downloaded as part of my project will not run as a java application. It is supposed to be ran with only this code:

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;


public class TestScript01 {  

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {     


    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    String baseUrl = "http://www.demo.guru99.com/V4/";

    // launch Firefox and direct it to the Base URL
    driver.get(baseUrl);


    // Enter username
    driver.findElement(By.name("uid")).sendKeys("xxxx");

    // Enter Password
    driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("xx");

    // Click Login
    driver.findElement(By.name("btnLogin")).click();


    }


}

However, I have added: import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; and System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C://selenium/chromedriver.exe"); I've also not included my real username and password in code above I have downloaded Chrome driver to the selenium folder in my C drive

I was trying to run from firefox initially but was stuck on Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms errors, which I downgraded my firefox for as that worked for many on this site, but it was still giving me the same error so I switched to Chrome, which selenium seems to prefer. I'm using the latest version of Chrome and Firefox 47.0

I'm using selenium 3.6.0 and jdk 1.8.0_111

When trying to run as an application, according to the instructions, I seem to be in a loop where I keep getting this screen:

See the image below

I have never had to select an option in order to run a selenium script before, not sure why I'm getting it now or what I'm supposed to select if any.

I have googled but it seems that most instructions for running selenium tests do not include this pop-up. I thought that instantiating a new WebDriver object and selecting the right imports were enough, what am I missing?

You havn't mentioned the Selenium, ChromeDriver, Chrome Browser and JDK versions. Assuming you are using the latest version of Selenium, ChromeDriver, Chrome Browser and JDK, I would suggest a few steps as follows:

  1. Instead of import org.openqa.selenium.*; always use import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; and the required ones.

  2. While working with Selenium 3.x (Java) it is mandatory to mention the following line :

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\selenium\\chromedriver.exe");

    In this line you have to either use single front slashes / or you have to use escaped back slashes \\

  3. The screen with Select Java Application indicates there are multiple overlapping imports in your project or methods from overlapping jars. We need to keep only the used imports in your script & used jars in your project and remove the other imports/jars from your script/project to keep it simple.

  4. From your IDE take a Project -> Clean for all the projects and keep Build Automatically selected.

  5. Error Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms can arise for many reasons. The best remedy is to uninstall the Browser with Revo Uninstaller, Run CCleaner to wipe out all the rotten OS stuffs and take a system reboot and trigger your Test.
