Run Selenium Java Code on Jenkins master using shell

I'm trying to run a Java Selenium code on Jenkins using shell command. The Java file needs 3 .jar files in order to run. I tired, among other commands, Javac "*.jar" myfile.java which is not working.

I'm pulling the code form a repository and the master node is running RedHat 6. When I run javac myfile.java I get the follwoing error messgae:

Solution

  • To compile your myfile.java into myfile.class (so you can run it with java command) you need to add a -cp path/to/selenium.jar to javac command. Like this:

    javac -cp path/to/selenium.jar myfile.java
