WebDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver();

// specify the browser - no javascript support
WebDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX);

// simple case - javascript support enabled
WebDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver(true);

Customization

HtmlUnit offers many customization options. Similar to the other WebDriver's the class HtmlUnitDriverOptions can be used to customize your HtmlUnit driver.

final HtmlUnitDriverOptions driverOptions = new HtmlUnitDriverOptions(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX);

// configure e.g.
driverOptions.setCapability(HtmlUnitOption.optThrowExceptionOnScriptError, false);

HtmlUnitDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver(driverOptions);
// use the driver
