Running a selenese Selenium test on the command-line using Chrome

Question

I used the Selenium IDE in Firefox to record a test suite in selenese, and I'd like to run these tests on the command-line using Chrome. (I'm running Mac OS X). I'm clearly doing something wrong, because when I try to do so, it runs in Firefox instead. I downloaded the chromedriver for OS X, and the selenium-server-standalone jar file, and put them both in /usr/local/bin. I thought the following command would do want I want, but it runs the tests inside of Firefox instead of Chrome. (Note, I'm testing a local app running at `http://localhost:8001`). ``` $ java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=/usr/local/bin/chromedriver \ -jar /usr/local/bin/selenium-server-standalone-2.24.1.jar \ -htmlSuite "*chrome" http://localhost:8001 /Users/lorin/selenium/suite.html /Users/lorin//selenium/results.html ``` The output looks like this: ``` Jun 19, 2012 4:32:40 PM org.openqa.grid.selenium.GridLauncher main INFO: Launching a standalone server 16:32:45.880 INFO - Java: Apple Inc. 20.8-b03-424 16:32:45.881 IN…

Accepted Answer

Use `*googlechrome` instead for chrome. That should fix it. *chrome is used to run firefox in another mode.
