Raw
selenium_chromedriver_nightwatch.md

https://npm.im/selenium-standalone doesn't work with recent versions of JDK and will cause Nightwatch to explode.

selenium-standalone

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8
  • Restart shell
  • cd ~/Your Project
  • yarn add -D selenium-standalone
  • selenium-standalone install
  • selenium-standalone start
  • Nightwatch tests should work.

OR

java Command

Download/install the following from their websites in whatever order:

Run this command:

java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=/absolute/path/to/chromedriver -jar /absolute/path/to/selenium-server-standalone-3.12.0.jar

Now your Nightwatch tests should work with Chrome.
