How to set drivers_home variable from command-line?

[fdcastel]

How can I set ${drivers_home} variable from dbeaver.ini?

I want to put drivers out of my workspace folder (e.g. in C:\drivers).

I'm already using -Ddbeaver.drivers.configuration-file=C:\drivers\drivers.xml. And this is working fine.

However... drivers.xml still uses a ${drivers_home} variable. And it still points to my user workspace.

From menu Help / Installation Information / Configuration I got this:

DRIVERS_LOCATION=C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Roaming\DBeaverData\drivers

But everything I tried until now to change this value was unsuccessful:

-Ddbeaver.drivers.location=C:\drivers
-Ddbeaver.drivers.home=C:\drivers
-DDRIVERS_LOCATION=C:\drivers

Using:
DBeaver version 24.0.3.202404211624
Windows Server 2022 Standard (version 10.0.20348.1850)

Alternatively, is there a way to avoid this dialog and just make DBeaver download the driver automatically?

Hello

Did you try to use this settings section?

Sorry @LonwoLonwo I don't understand what you are suggesting me to do.

I want to set ${drivers_home} value (a template value used inside drivers.xml) from the command-line.

Something like

dbeaver.exe -Ddrivers_home=C:\drivers
