Running a selenium-server-standalone

Question

I was trying to run selenium server but was showing an error:

rond-macpro:selenium eladb$  java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=./chromedriver -r selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar

Unrecognized option: -r

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

and without -r

rond-macpro:selenium eladb$  java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=./chromedriver  selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar

Error: Could not find or load main class selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar

how can I start the server and set a non-default port to listen

Answer 1

Below codes will help you:

java -jar seleniumjar.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=./chromedriver 

for specifying the port

java -jar seleniumjar.version.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=./chromedriver -port 4545

for 3.8.1, specifying the driver is no longer necessary:

java -jar seleniumjar.jar
