Unable to run nightwatch JSON - nightwatch.js

Question

I have been trying to run a simple test with Nightwatchjs and I keep running into issues.
I believe I have setup my JSON file correctly:
{
"src_folder" : ["./smoketests"],
"output_folder" : "./reports",
"selenium" : {
"start_process" : true,
"start_session" : true,
"server_path" : "M:/nightwatch/lib/selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar",
"log_path" : false,
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"port" : 4444,
"cli_args" : {
"webdriver.chrome.driver" : "./lib/chromedriver.exe"
}
},
"test_settings" : {
"default" : {
"launch_url" : "http://www.google.com/",
"selenium_port" : 4444,
"selenium_host" : "localhost",
"silent" : true,
"screenshots" : {
"enabled" : false,
"path" : "./screenshots/smoketests"
}
},
"desiredCapabilities" : {
"browserName" : "firefox",
"javascriptEnabled" : true,
"acceptSslCerts" : true
},
"chrome" : {
"desiredCapabilities" : {
"browserName" : "chrome",
"javascriptEnabled" : true,
"acceptSslCerts" : true
}
}
}
}
and my test is pretty simple:
module.exports = {
beforeEach : function(browser) {
browser.maximizeWindow();
},
'Test title' : function(browser) {
browser
.url('http://www.google.com/')
.waitForElementVisible('body', 1000)
.assert.title("Google")
browser.end();
}
};
Yet, when I run the test:
nightwatch -c smoketests/homepage.json
I receive the following error:
M:\nightwatch>nightwatch -c projects/smoketests/homepage.json

Has anybody else encounter this issue as well?

Answer 1

I think I figure out my initial issue. I had a syntax error in my "scr_folders" in my JSON file. After fixing it, my test seems to run fine.
