webdriver manager update throws unhandled error

Question

I am using protractor and webdriver, when trying to do an update on webdriver manager I get the error below.

>       throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
>       ^

when I check the list of current available drivers using webdriver-manager status, i get the below.

    $ webdriver-manager status
    I/status - selenium standalone is not present
    I/status - chromedriver is not present
    I/status - geckodriver is not present
    I/status - IEDriverServer is not present
    I/status - android-sdk is not present
    I/status - appium is not present

But see the following when finding webdriver-manager version:

webdriver-manager version
I/version - webdriver-manager 12.0.6

Node Version: 7.2.1 Protractor version: 5.1.2 Webdriver version: 12.0.6

Answer 1

webdriver-manager update --proxy=http://proxy:88

This solved my issue.

managed to solve this by running the command

webdriver-manager update --proxy="proxy address":8080/

Answer 3

Try this,

webdriver-manager update --proxy="http://username:pass@yourproxyserver:port/" --ignore_ssl

worked for me with this command.

Update

With Chrome version

webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 77.0.3865.90 --proxy="http://username:pass@yourproxyserver:port/" --ignore_ssl
