How to build remote Webdriver for Chrome

Question

I am trying to run my Selenium tests against Chrome. When I initialize driver locally:

@driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for( :chrome )

Everything

Answer 1

Actually the error message is slightly wrong. You don't have to set the system property, but the chromedriver executable needs to be available in the PATH on the remote machine (where the server is running).

If you want to specify the path as a property, you can do that when you launch the server, e.g.:

java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=/path/to/driver -jar selenium-server-standalone.jar
