I install without errors and run a simple test, I get this error:

I am on latest stable macOS and Chrome 57 (also did not work with 56 though).

Any idea where to look at to fix this?

Hi @badabam, please can you install the latest version from NPM and try again?

[badabam]

Hi John, I'll do that tomorrow at work. Stay tuned!

[john-doherty]

Any luck @badabam?

[badabam]

Sorry, I cant' test this anymore. I got pulled from the project. 😞

[john-doherty]

No problem. I believe this issue is fixed so I will close this. Thanks

Hi @john-doherty! I have the same problem and don't know what I have to do! Bu the way, it worked yesterday, and I didn't make some new

Hi @dimonk87, what version of node are you using node -v?

I just tried a fresh install on node v9.1.0 and it worked fine.

[dimonk87]

Hello @john-doherty, I'm using v8.9.1

[john-doherty]

Thanks. That's very odd, I just tried a fresh install using 8.9.1 and it worked :-/

[john-doherty]

@dimonk87 I've updated the chromedriver version, please can you reinstall and try again?

[dimonk87]

@john-doherty, ok, I'll do it a little bit later

[dimonk87]

@john-doherty, Hello! It works! Thanks!
