Nightwatch.json and terminal windows

Nightwatch hangs when trying to start the selenium server.

Windows 8.1 / nightwatch@0.6.13

Attached are the images (clockwise) of

  • Nightwatch.json file
  • Terminal window showing the folders and java paths
  • Starting the selenium server manually (no issues)
  • Nightwatch starting selenium server... (hangs)

Any ideas on how to make nightwatch start selenium server successfully?

Thanks.

Update: Upgraded nightwatch to 0.7.1 Updated nightwatch.json selenium/cli_args contains "-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver" : "C:/tools/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe" "-Dwebdriver.firefox.bin=" : "c:/code/nightwatch/Firefox/firefox.exe"

p.s. Copied Mozilla Firefox folder into nightwatch folder

Results: Nightwatch running chrome works Nightwatch running firefox throws

Can't find firefox.exe

  • @Alper - You'll probably have better luck with the NightwatchJS Google Group, which gets quick responses both from the library author, as well as many people in the community. Worth signing up here - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nightwatchjs Looks like your particular issue may be due to "Driver class not found...OperaDriver" - Never tried to use Selenium with Opera before! – Dave Cadwallader Jun 22 '15 at 22:23
  • @geek_dave I'm not using Selenium with Opera, I get the same message when I start Selenium server manually and everything seems to work. Thanks for google group tip, signing up. – Alper Jun 23 '15 at 10:57

  • Upgraded nightwatch to 0.7.1

  • Firefox is installed at C:\Users\{userName}\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox on my machine.

  • In nightwatch.json, added the following setting to selenium / cli_args

    "-Dwebdriver.firefox.bin" : "C:/Users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe"

    Nightwatch starts selenium server, firefox and runs tests successfully.

For reference: Cannot find firefox binary
