BUILD FAILED
C:\Jasper\clarity_jaspersoft_7.8.0_6.4.0.35\install.xml:520: The following error occurred while executing this line:

 Verify the path and the version, and try again.

When the Chrome.exe path is provided, you must include the exe file in the path. For example:

Instead of:

C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application

For Linux, example would be:
/opt/google/chrome/chrome
