Issue with --chdir daemon parameter

[lastmikoi]

Hi,

I'm currently deploying this module to a customer who is using Behat with PhantomJS to test his application, and we're been running into the following issue, under Puppet 3.4, Ubuntu 14.04 and selenium-server-standalone 2.45.0:

Whenever the test suite is started, an obscure and unhelpful error arises and it is unable to continue.
After some digging around using strace, I managed to pin down the issue to the selenium-standalone daemon trying to create /phantomjsdriver.log and failing to do so because of permission issues.

We managed to workaround the issue by editing the /etc/init.d/seleniumserver initscript's DAEMON_ARGS variable: adding --chdir=/var/lib/selenium ensures that the daemon is creating all its files in a directory its has write access to.

Are you able to reproduce this issue?
