Hi sir, so once u had created a runnable jar, then it will create a jar on the present version of code right and then when you run the jar from the cmd, the getProperty() and setProperty() method get the value from the config, properties file of the jar right, here comes the question u had changed browser to firefox and ran the jar, why did the firefox browser open normally it should open the chrome browser right the method reads the value from jar's config, properties file right

Thank you Raghav for all the useful videos. It is a real help for beginners like me.

I created the executable jar file and getting error when running through command prompt.

In the config file when I put Firefox, the test is running successfully
when I put Chrome, it is giving driver executable doesnt exist error.

Note: Both the browsers opening perfectly when I run from eclipse.

How can I run the jar file without placing the jar file inside project location as I can see it wraps the entire project into jar file. Path location of properties file, data file uses relative path using so when i place the jar file in desktop and run via command prompt it takes the desktop path followed by the relative path of the file. How can I access the file path which is inside jar file.
