Is there any good documentation on installing nightwatch with selenium webdrivers in linux machine RHEL 7

[ravikumar2000]

Describe the bug

Sample test

sampleTest.js

// Please add the sample test here

module.exports = {
    {
        "src_folders" : ["tests"],
      
        "webdriver" : {
          "start_process": true,
          "server_path": "node_modules/.bin/chromedriver",
          "port": 9515
        },
      
        "test_settings" : {
          "default" : {
            "desiredCapabilities": {
              "browserName": "chrome"
            }
          }
        }
      }
};

Run with command

$ nightwatch test/sampleTest.js --your-other-arguments-here

hey @ravikumar2000 , whats the use case if i may ask? do you want to run your sessions on your local browser? if so just install chrome/firefox browser and drivers
npm install chromedriver --save-dev
npm install geckodriver --save-dev
Should warn you, chrome support on RHEL is not that great.

And if you are using some remote selenium server or using cloud for testing (browserstack or sauce labs)

Hi We are planning to use it for synthetic monitoring to capture web transactions using gecko or other chrome drivers with Linux servers using nightwatcher to push the logs to Prometheus. Regards, Ravi

I recommend using Selenium Grid for running e2e tests in CI
