There is an error if you add URL variable to the code. What is this process.env.URL and how does it work?
WebDriverError: unknown error: 'url' must be a string
const selenium = require("selenium-webdriver");
const By = selenium.By;
var URL = 'file:///C:SeleniumTeamTreeHouse/project/index.html';
const driver = new selenium.Builder()
.forBrowser("chrome")
.build();
driver.get(process.env.URL);
Side Note. Above code will run without an issue with following code:
driver.get(URL);

Treehouse Teacherprocess.env.URL is using an environment variable that is set using URL=... from the command line. Since you are doing it locally, you can just use that variable URL that you created.
Hope that helps!
