Bitbucket Pipeline fails attempting to run Nightwatch E2E tests with Chromedriver Error

Question

I am trying to run my E2E tests using nightwatch while deploying in a bitbucket pipeline. I have nightwatch installed, chromedriver installed on my windows machine locally and everything works.

When I run npm nightwatch in the pipeline I receive this error

An error occurred while trying to start ChromeDriver: cannot resolve path: "/opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build/node_modules/chromedriver/lib/chromedriver/chromedriver". Please check that the "webdriver.server_path" config property is set correctly.

This is the file structure of the path it specifies

File structure

node_modules/
    chromedriver/
        lib/
            chromdriver/
                chromerdriver.exe
                chromedriver_win32.zip

So clearly node_modules/chromedriver/lib/chromedriver/chromedriver does not exist. The container is Linux so it does not know how to execute the chromedriver.exe file.

So how can I get bitbucket pipeline to run chromedriver.exe? Or how do I get chromedriver into the path it's looking for. I'm positive someone has had to run into this before. Been struggling on this for a while and am looking for some help. Thanks.

I was able to solve by removing rastasheep/alpine-node-chromium adding a node image and installing chrome myself in the step.

image: node:10.15.0
pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
    name: NewHomePageNav
    script:
      # First we are going to install dependencies that chrome and chromedriver will need
      - apt-get update && apt-get install -yq libnss3 unzip openjdk-8-jre-headless xvfb libxi6 libgconf-2-4
      # Install chrome browser as it does not exist with the node image
      - curl -sS -o - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add
      - echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
      - apt-get -y update
      - apt-get -y install google-chrome-stable
      - npm install
      # Start and run your server. Using the & will allow bitbucket to move onto testing
      - npm start &
      - npm test
