Just noticed that after a pause, Selenium.jar outputs:

18:37:59.513 ERROR - org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Execution failed (Exit value: -559038737. Caused by java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\nightwatch\lib\chromedriver" (in directory "."): CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application)

So, I I put a copy of a Chromedriver executable where nightwatch expects it (hope that can be customised?), and now a browser window opens, and I notice that the next error follows the same reporting pattern:

It would help if the docs could be a little more explicit.....

How does your config file look like? How does the test file look like? Have you tried to log what happens in webdriver.js:769:24? I was starting with NW for the first time today and was able to get up and running within 5 minutes by following the docs.

I can't really expect a test framework to handle Windows-specific WebDriver issues, so closing this. (It was a conflict between Selenium and Chromedriver versions, which I've seen a lot of with other WD projects, as well as in these GitHub issue archives -- if only there was a linked matrix of working versions. Ended up using webdriver-manager)
