Selenium: Selenium Remote Webdriver ignoring timeout and browserTimeout arguments

[MetaMemoryT]

After 30mins browser is closed no matter what command line parameters are used: I have tried various combinations of:

java -jar "selenium\build\java\server\src\org\openqa\grid\selenium\selenium-standalone.jar" -timeout=999999 -browserTimeout=999999 -Dwebdriver.server.s ession.timeout=999999 -Dwebdriver.server.browser.timeout=999999

java -jar "selenium\build\java\server\src\org\openqa\grid\selenium\selenium-standalone.jar" -timeout=-1 -browserTimeout=-1 -Dwebdriver.server.session.timeout=-1 -Dwebdriver.server.browser.timeout=-1

java -jar "selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar" -timeout=999999999 -browserTimeout=999999 -Dwebdriver.server.session.timeout=0

java -jar "C:\nodejs\node_modules\selenium-server-standalone-jar\jar\selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar" -timeout=999999999 -browserTimeout=9999999 -Dwebdriver.server.session.timeout=9999999

It logs a message like:

09:41:01.915 INFO - Session 3c366b28-a7a4-4f97-805f-2e5fe7b97b21 deleted due to client timeout

java property flags must be specified BEFORE the "-jar" command line option...

java -DpropertyName=value -jar selenium-server....

[emiglobetrotting]

seems problem has been solved, specifying the java property flags as provided by lukels solved the problem

[rameshnss]

@lukeis @emiglobetrotting Please let me know the complete command to start the hub with DpropertyName syntax and also with timeout examples

[emiglobetrotting]

@rameshnss this is how you can start the hub with timeout option, for example setting timeout to 86400 seconds

 java -Dwebdriver.server.session.timeout=86400 -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar

[rameshnss]

@emiglobetrotting 86400 is in milli seconds right?

[emiglobetrotting]

no, time is in seconds ( 3600s * 24 hours in a day = 86400 seconds )
