linux - how to run a selenium-server-standalone?

Question

I created a .sh file with the following content:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=./opt/webdrivers/geckodriver

I already made sure that the file /opt/webdrivers/geckodriver has permission to get executed by using chmod 770 and I even changed the user to root.

But this is the result if I execute my .sh file:

root@mycomputer:/opt/Selenium# ./selenium.sh
Exception in thread "main" com.beust.jcommander.ParameterException: Unknown option: -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=./opt/webdrivers/geckodriver

    at org.openqa.grid.selenium.GridLauncherV3.buildLauncher(GridLauncherV3.java:155)
    at org.openqa.grid.selenium.GridLauncherV3.main(GridLauncherV3.java:75)

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You have to specify the parameters right after -jar :

java -jar -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=./opt/webdrivers/geckodriver selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar
