mocha not able to locate any WebDriver executable for testing

I get the following message when i run mocha.

[INFO] Searching for WebDriver executables installed on the current system... [WARNING] Unable to locate any WebDriver executables for testing [INFO] Running tests against []

0 passing (0ms)

It seems as if mocha isn't picking up the drivers but they are installed.

Hiya there! It seems like mocha can't find Selenium web driver. You might have to install either Selenium Webdriver or you could just go for headless PhantomJS which doesn't require any kinda drivers.

do this:

npm install chromedriver --save;

npm install geckodriver --save;

then add in invitee.js file:

require('geckodriver');

require('chromedriver');

Your code will look something like this:

const {Browser, By, Key, until} = require("selenium-webdriver");
const {suite} = require("selenium-webdriver/testing");
const assert = require('assert');
require('geckodriver');
require('chromedriver');

const url = "https://treehouse-projects.github.io/selenium-webdriver-intermediate/waits/app/index.html";

suite(function(env) {
    describe('RSVP site', function() {
        this.timeout(6000);

        it('has invitee list', async function() {
            let driver = await env.builder().build();
            await driver.get(url);
            let elements = await driver.findElements(By.id('invitedList'));
            assert(elements.length > 0);
            driver.quit();
        });
    });
});
