nightwatch VS geckodriver

6.NightwatchJS: NightwatchJS is a Node.js-based end-to-end testing framework. Key Features: Simplifies writing test scripts using a simple syntax. Supports parallel test execution. Integrates with Selenium WebDriver for cross-browser testing

NightWatchJS

The reason for this behavior is thoroughly explained in Understanding the Command Queue Nightwatch.js GitHub wiki (it is a long read but it’s worth it). In this section, we will not look in such detail, this is going to be a summary of sorts. By the way, this command queue example can be found in Loadero’s public GitHub examples repository here.

Nightwatch.js is a popular open-source, Selenium JavaScript-based test automation framework for automating browser-based web applications and websites. It is written in Node.js runtime and uses the W3C WebDriver API (formerly Selenium WebDriver) for interacting with various browsers to perform commands and assertions on DOM elements.

For Firefox-specific options (like command-line args and browser about:config prefs), the property to use is moz:firefoxOptions. That is shipping in the latest default nightwatch.conf.js file, as is the parallel goog:chromeOptions for chromedriver. But if you've got a legacy configuration file—like I did—you'll want to update the old chromeOptions property, too.

I’ll get right to it: both the stock Nightwatch configuration file (as of at least Nightwatch v. 2.0.9) and the Nightwatch docs are inaccurate for using the geckodriver web driver (specifically, v. 0.30.0) to run tests. Here is what you need to do, isolated to the firefox environment portion of the test_settings object in a nightwatch.conf.js file:

Make sure the current working directory is the project root and then simply run an example test which are bundled with Nightwatch. We’ll pick the duckDuckGo test because it’s the fastest:

I don’t think this is a docker issue. Appears to be related to this: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/1959
