Error: Failed to make Github request, rate limit reached.

[christosptr]

I am running
webdriver-manager start
and I get the following error and webdriver fails to start

(node:58736) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: Failed to make Github request, rate limit reached.
(node:58736) DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js proces

Anyone else is seeing this issue?

The start command should not make a request to GitHub. This was fixed in a later release. Please uninstall the current version of webdriver-manager and reinstall it. Let me know if that works.

Hi @cnishina Thanks for your responses. I did not see this issue for few days now. Just so I can check and confirm in which release should this issue be fixed ?

My solution is #307 (comment)

[DenysVuika]

Solution suggested by @p3x-robot in the link helped me as well.

It will not help if you like to run the tests in firefox... 😒

[virgile-hogman]

Still having the issue with gecko driver for firefox. The problem is this file is downloaded from api.github.com so i if you make too many requests at a given moment it fails. It's not a reliable solution :(

This feature was resolved and released in the beta release of this and Protractor.
