I'm not sure why chromedriver is unable to install on Ubuntu. Looking at chromedriver issues, someone did mention that it didn't work on 32-bit systems https://github.com/giggio/node-chromedriver/issues/147.
Thanks. This is on a 64bit system. I have a previously installed version of chromedrive in /usr/local/bin that I was using with Selenium. Any chance there is a conflict of some kind?
Hard to say. Chromedriver is a fickle beast and has caused us tons of headaches. There's an option you can try to point it to the already installed version that might work https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-cli#chromedriver-path.
My immediate problem is when the install blows up, the filesystem is restored to the way it was, or maybe just nothing is ever created. The /usr/local/lib/node_modules/axe-cli/ directory does not exist. I've tried creating that manually, thinking maybe it will remain, but no, it's removed. Let me try manually installing and see where that gets me.
Installing manually and then running npm install, seems to work just fine on a quick test. Is there any downside to that? Thx.
This is working well enough, except when the npm global option is included. Not sure why, but otherwise we are good. Thx
Glad it's working out. Ok if we close?
Yes, please close!
On Ubuntu 16.04:
The logs do not have anything more informative. The permissions on /usr/local/lib/node_modules are fine, 755. None of the folder structure is created.
The only thing I can find is a broken symlink:
Thanks.
