nodejs server error with selenium-webdriver

Question

Getting below error when starting nodejs server with selenium webdriver

ubuntu@ip-10-10-10-193:~/testenvoy$ node app.js
/home/ubuntu/testenvoy/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/index.js:115
  static createSession(...args) {}
                       ^^^

Check which version of Selenium you are using and which version of Node you have installed. — jmreicha

I had to roll back to 3.0.0-beta-4, maybe you can test it works with an older version? — jmreicha

npm i [email protected] did the trick for me.

P.S. also consider fixing that in your package.json if you have any.

After installing older version of webdriverjs I am getting below warning (node:22644) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: unexpected variable use

X. Wo Satuk Over a year ago

3.0.0-beta-4 is currently the latest version in which it works. Regardless whether using Node.js or not.

changing to [email protected] worked for me /app# node --version v4.4.2

Check your node version, you should be using version 6:

node --version

To install the latest node use:

nvm install v6.9.0
nvm use 6.9.0

I have just had the same problem which I solved by updating to node 6.x following the instructions on the node site.

Upgrading solved the first error but then I realised that I did not have any of the "additional components" mentioned in the selenium-webdriver installation instructions.

I opted to install the node chromedriver and was able to successfully run a selenium test.
