Johans-MacBook-Pro:selenium-basics johanlindstrom$ http://port-80-l1qbbi2ceo.treehouse-app.com/ node index.js

Treehouse TeacherOn the terminal one you forgot to prefix it with URL=
Johan Lindstrom
971 PointsI changed this line.
//driver.get(process.env.url);
To driver.navigate().to("http://port-80-l1qbbi2ceo.treehouse-app.com/");
Opened up the page now :)
Craig Dennis
Treehouse TeacherAhh I see the other error Johan!
driver.get(process.env.url);
That URL is all uppercased when you set the environment variable, so you need to
driver.get(process.env.URL);

971 PointsOh.. ? I'll try and keep u posted. Thx Craig

I am also facing the same issue. I am using windows system.
When I set the environment variable before running index.js, I get --> WebDriverError: unknown error: 'url' must be a string error when using VS code. But if i embed the URL in code just like Jonathan did above, it works.
Can you tell me how I can solve this problem.
