Basic Test doesn't work

[cliff76]

Hi,

I am trying to get a basic test working as per the documentation. I've copied/pasted from the README and adjusted my path to point to the Electron executable but I get a test failure. Here's my test code:

/**
 * Created by Clifton Craig on 4/30/16.
 */
describe('Initial spec', function () {
    it('Should be easy to test.');
});

var Application = require('spectron').Application;
var assert = require('assert');

describe('application launch', function () {
    this.timeout(10000);

    beforeEach(function () {
        this.app = new Application({
            path: '/Applications/Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron'
        });
        return this.app.start()
    });

    afterEach(function () {
        if (this.app && this.app.isRunning()) {
            return this.app.stop()
        }
    });

    it('shows an initial window', function () {
        return this.app.client.getWindowCount().then(function (count) {
            assert.equal(count, 1)
        })
    })
});

And here's the output:

> nightmare@1.0.0 test /Users/212474815/dev/nightmare

npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details.

Is there something I've missed from the documentation? Do I need to start ChromeDriver separately? I've never used ChromeDrive or WebDriver before. This is my 1st take at automated Electron testing. Thanks for any/all clarification!

For some reason it started working when I opened a new terminal window. There must have been a foul env var at play. I'm closing this issue. My apologies!

Hello,I exactly have the similar issue.I have created a mocha.opts file in my test directory and set a default time out to 10000 ms also I have modified my package.json script section and have inserted these statements
"test": "mocha 'test/**/*.js' --timeout 10000", "test-debug": "mocha --debug 'test/**/*.js' --timeout 10000"
Also I have modified the mocha.js file and changed the default time out from 2000 to 20000 ms but still nothing happens and still get the same issue. Am I missing anything here.Please help.
My Code
`var assert = require('assert');
const mochaTimeOut = 30000;
describe('Test Suite 1', function () {
it('Test 1', function () {
this.timeout(100000);
var Application = require('spectron').Application
var assert = require('assert')
var app = new Application({
path: '/CorumDispense-win32-ia32/CorumDispense.exe'

    })
    app.start().then(function () {
        // Check if the window is visible
        return app.browserWindow.isVisible()
    }).then(function (isVisible) {
        // Verify the window is visible
        assert.equal(isVisible, true)
    }).then(function () {
        // Get the window's title
        return app.client.getTitle()
    }).then(function (title) {
        // Verify the window's title
        assert.equal(title, 'My App')
    }).then(function () {
        // Stop the application
        return app.stop()
    }).catch(function (error) {
        // Log any failures
        console.error('Test failed', error.message)
    })
})

})`
