Error when using different node versions · Issue #10970 · SeleniumHQ/selenium · GitHub

What happened?

Issue 1 is based on nightwatchjs/nightwatch#3337

ISSUE 1:
On node v10 (10.24.1), when I run the selenium code, I get the error SyntaxError: Unexpected token = in file virtual_authenticator.js. The same script runs without any error in v12 (12.22.12).
I am not able to test it on v11.

ISSUE 2:
There is another issue which occurs in the same selenium code. On node v18 (18.7.0) the code is not able to start geckodriver and it gives the error Error: Timed out waiting for the WebDriver server at http://localhost:51846/. The same code works without any error (i.e. it starts the geckodriver) in v16 (16.16.0)

This looks like some version problem with nodejs. I'm troubleshooting it from my end. Any leads would be helpful.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Step 1: Set your nodejs version with your version manager. I use nvm.
Step 2: Run the following selenium code.

const {Builder} = require('selenium-webdriver');

(async function helloSelenium() {
    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('firefox').build();

    await driver.get('https://selenium.dev');

    await driver.quit();
})();
