Starting Background Processes¶

Sometimes, you might want to start a background process, like for example a Selenium server. For background processes, we provide a special syntax that works much like appending & on the command line, but we will automatically capture any stderr and stdout output for easy debugging:

build:
  nodes:
    some-node:
      project_setup:
        before:
          - command: java -jar selenium-server.jar
            background: true
