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

I found the selected answer to be very misleading. It took me about an hour to release the mistake in it. The node is the one that should have the webdriver.chrome.driver property set, not the hub.

Therefore the selected answer's command should instead be:

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