webdriver-manager update failed to download chrome driver and update-config.json

When I clean webdriver-manager and update, it is unable to download chrome driver and update-config.json. Later on when I start protractor it is complaining couldn't find update-config.json.

package.json

"scripts": {
    "webdrivermanager:update": "node node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update --versions.standalone=3.4.0 --ignore_ssl",
    "webdrivermanager:clean": "node node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager clean",
    "install": "npm run webdrivermanager:clean && npm run webdrivermanager:update"
  }

protractor.conf.js

seleniumServerJar: '../../node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-3.4.0.jar',
    multiCapabilities: [
        {browserName: 'chrome'}
        //specify if any other browser
    ],
    directConnect: true,

Now when I do npm install, I can not see chrome driver and update-config.json at node_modules\protractor\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium location

In my log also chrome driver is not downloading anymore. For this reason I can not start my protractor as update-config.json is not available. Any idea would be great. Thanks

Solution

  • That was very weird. I did everything nothing helped. Actual reason was my organization blocked the chrome driver api site. chrome-response.xml is the main clue that is showing access denied message so, I came to know actual reason.

    I requested to @cnishina to thrown an actual error message if chrome driver website is not reached.
