I'm having trouble running a selenium test on ubuntu, but everything works fine on my windows system. I'm using a mocha test suite, and am using selenium-webdriver to run the selenium test written in javascript. The error I get is:

    1) Register a new account [1]
       "before all" hook: ret:

I'm not really sure whats going on. I believe its got something to do with chrome/the chrome driver but I dont know where to go from here. The chrome driver I am using is also being installed from a node package.

  • I vaguely remember on Ubuntu, you need a different version of Chrome.

  • @YuZhang Thanks turns out the version of chrome I had on ubuntu wasn't compatible with the chromedriver version I'm using

As mentioned by Yu Zhang I was having compatibility issues with the chrome version I was running and the chrome driver.

I ended up just updating both my driver and the version of chrome I was using. The specific compatibilities can be seen on the official chrome driver download page
