test:e2e fails on mac

[JeremyMarshall]

test:e2e fails on mac as its looking for chromedriver.exe

Running "protractor:chrome" (protractor) task
Using ChromeDriver directly...
[launcher] Error: Could not find chromedriver at /Users/xxxxx/src/node/test/node_modules/grunt-protractor-runner/node_modules/protractor/selenium/chromedriver.exe

This is the same regardless of if I run

webdriver-manager start

I only have Chrome and Safari on my mac for the moment

[JeremyMarshall]

I fixed this by running

node node_modules/grunt-protractor-runner/node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update

which is an alias in the package.json

  "scripts": {
    "start": "node server/app.js",
    "test": "grunt test",
    "update-webdriver": "node node_modules/grunt-protractor-runner/node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update"
  }

but doing npm update-webdriver directly fails

Jeremys-MacBook-Pro:test jeremymarshall$ npm update-webdriver

You need to do npm run update-webdriver

[Kageetai]

I had to do the same on Windows. Is that ´update-webdriver´ not run when initial generating?

[riddla]

Had the same problem on OS X today. npm run update-webdriver should really be integrated in the setup process. Is this possible?

[noahbuscher]

+1 for integrating it into the setup process
