Nightwatch.js cannot start selenium server on Windows 8.1

Question

Nightwatch hangs when trying to start the selenium server.

Windows 8.1 / [email protected]

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

Answer 1

• 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
