v3.0.0-alpha.3 -- uknown error: cannot find Chrome binary

reallymello commented 1 year ago

Description of the bug/issue

When I run npx nightwatch in a default nightwatch init@latest installed project after running npm install nightwatch@v3.0.0-alpha.3 I expect the included tests to run in chrome, but instead I receive error unknown error: Cannot find Chrome binary

Steps to reproduce

npx install nightwatch@latest
Select typescript with default assertion style and chrome, firefox, and edge as preconfigured browser
Verify everything works with npx nightwatch
Run npm install nightwatch@v3.0.0-alpha.3
Rerun npx nightwatch

Response 500 POST /session

@garg3133 - I tried the steps on mac and it worked. However, when I tried on Windows 11, it failed with the same error as reported by @reallymello

Just to give you a head-start, it seems to be an issue related to Windows in general or Windows 11 specifically.

reallymello commented 1 year ago

@vishalshah133 like you, my Windows 10 PC is working with the alpha, but I have two colleagues reporting this error under Windows 10. Nobody around me using Windows 11 can get past this error in the alpha though.

vaibhavsingh97 commented 1 year ago

~~@reallymello @garg3133 this issue is appearing on v2.x as well in windows 11.~~

I couldn't reproduce the issue, in mine case the chrome wasn't installed

reallymello commented 1 year ago

https://github.com/nightwatchjs/nightwatch/pull/3691 fixed it for me
