Running a selenese Selenium test on the command-line using Chrome

Question

I used the Selenium IDE in Firefox to record a test suite in selenese, and I'd like to run these tests on the command-line using Chrome. (I'm running Mac OS X).

I'm clearly doing something wrong, because when I try to do so, it runs in Firefox instead.

I downloaded the chromedriver for OS X, and the selenium-server-standalone jar file, and put them both in /usr/local/bin. I thought the following command would do want I want, but it runs the tests inside of Firefox instead of Chrome. (Note, I'm testing a local app running at http://localhost:8001).

$ java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=/usr/local/bin/chromedriver \
 -jar /usr/local/bin/selenium-server-standalone-2.24.1.jar \
 -htmlSuite "*chrome" http://localhost:8001 /Users/lorin/selenium/suite.html /Users/lorin//selenium/results.html

The output looks like this:

Use *googlechrome instead for chrome. That should fix it. *chrome is used to run firefox in another mode.
