Error: No selenium server jar found at "Location"

Question

I am facing following issue :

Error: No selenium server jar found at C:\ui-automation\serenity-1.0\node_modules\protractor\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium\selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar.

When I am trying to run my test using protractor using following command:

protractor .\protractor.conf.js

Answer 1

This error comes into picture in two scenario :

1. selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar does not exist :

In your project's "node_modules\protractor\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium" location.

To Resolve this you have to run following command :

webdriver-manager update

2. selenium-server-standalone exists with different version :

In this scenario you have to download the required selenium-server-standalone jar as follow :

webdriver-manager update --versions.standalone "specific_version"

Example :

webdriver-manager update --versions.standalone 3.0.1
 

OR

node ./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update --versions.standalone 3.0.1
