Running selenium testng executable jar is failing

I have written a simple Selenium + TestNG maven project (say, in directory I:\Projects\) using Java in Eclipse IDE, when I right click the project and run testng.xml file able to launch the Chrome browser I have now exported this project as 'Runnable JAR file' and saved the jar on Desktop (C:\Users\Programmer\Desktop).

Now,

  1. If I run the saved executable jar from my project directory and double click the jar, able to launch the Chrome browser, that is, I:\Projects>java -jar "C:\Users\Programmer\Desktop\runnable.jar", but
  2. If I save the executable jar from desktop unable to launch the browser, that is C:\Users\Programmer\Desktop>java -jar runnable.jar

My simple selenium code,

public class GoogleSearch {

WebDriver driver;

@Test
public void launchBrowser() {
    String PWD = System.getProperty("user.dir");
    System.out.println(">>>>>>" + PWD);
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", PWD + "\\lib\\chromedriver");
    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("https://www.google.com");
    WebElement search = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
    search.sendKeys("Selenium monk");
}

@Test
public void tearDown() {
    if (driver != null) {
        driver.close();
        driver.quit();
    }
}
}

Project directory structure..

enter image description here

I understood like, when I am running from Desktop, jar is unable to find the chromedriver in lib folder.? If yes, how to make it work.?

What else is I am missing here?

I resolved on my own, since the problem was, "when I am running from Desktop, jar is unable to find the chromedriver in lib folder."

I need to set the chrome driver as part of environment variables, and I have updated the chrome driver property by reading the env var, System.getenv("chrome_driver_path");

After which my problem resolved.

Thank you all for those who took your time to answer the question.

When your jar is on the desktop, try to run this (assuming your are running under C:\Users\you\Desktop),

java -cp runnable.jar;path-to-your-proj\lib\* org.testng.TestNG path-to-your-proj/testng.xml -Duser.dir=path-to-your-proj
