Running serenity-cucumber on chrome

[bhargav julaganti]

I am new to serenity and uploaded the basic project from maven and trying to run on chrome . when I am trying to run on chrom it is throwing error " web driver could not be instanitated"

I have changed the basic POM as below

<properties>

<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>

<serenity.version>1.1.26-rc.3</serenity.version>

<serenity.cucumber.version>1.1.1</serenity.cucumber.version>

<webdriver.driver>firefox</webdriver.driver>

<webdriver.chrome>D:\selenium\chromedriver.exe</webdriver.chrome>

</properties>

<plugin>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

<version>2.18.1</version>

<configuration>

<skip>true</skip>

<systemPropertyVariables>

<webdriver.chrome.driver>${webdriver.chrome}</webdriver.chrome.driver>

</systemPropertyVariables>

</configuration>

</plugin>

Any help would be appreciated

If you are running from CMD console try - 

mvn clean verify -Dwebdriver.driver=chrome

If you are using any IDE set the system property for chrome.
