nightmare running never called

[joeypedicini92]

What are you trying to achieve?

Trying to run my scenario end to end without crashing

What do you get instead?

When it gets to the first line where I'm using yield it just stops, no error or anything.

[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | hook StepLogFilter._beforeStep()
[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | waitForElement: "#document-table"
[secondBranch]    Emitted | step.after (I wait for element "#document-table")
[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | hook Jsfailure._afterStep()
[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | return step result
[secondBranch]    Emitted | step.before (I execute script function(), {"path":"/fact/queue","factQueueTab":"a[href=\"/fact/queue\"]","docTypeFilterBox":"input[data-test=\"filter_by_document_type\"]","docTypeFilterInput":"input[placeholder=\"Add Document Type\"]","typeaheadSelections":"div[class=\"typeahead-suggestion\"]","applyFilterButton":"button[data-test=\"apply_filter\"]","documentTable":"#document-table","documentRow":"tbody > tr","startDateFilterInput":"input[data-test=\"start\"]"})

[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | hook Jsfailure._afterStep()
[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | return step result
[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | create new promises queue for generator

Provide test source code if related

//line that it fails at
    let numDocs = yield I.executeScript((factQueue) => {
      return $(factQueue.documentRow).length;
    }, factQueue);

An update to this:

So I added DEBUG=* and was able to determine that nightmare seems to never even start running. It seems like electron never opens.

After the log lines above, when run locally it will output:

[2] Queued | hook Jsfailure._afterStep()
   [2] Queued | return step result
   [2] Queued | create new promises queue for generator
  nightmare running +6ms
  nightmare:log adding action for upload +275ms
  nightmare:log adding action for pressKey +0ms

but on ubuntu, here is what we get:

[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | hook Jsfailure._afterStep()
[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | return step result
[secondBranch]    [2] Queued | create new promises queue for generator
[secondBranch] Mon, 22 May 2017 22:01:45 GMT nightmare running
[secondBranch] Mon, 22 May 2017 22:01:45 GMT nightmare electron child process exited with code 1: general error - you may need xvfb
[secondBranch] Mon, 22 May 2017 22:01:45 GMT nightmare electron child process not started yet, skipping kill.

I have electron installed, I have the latest chromium installed. Is there anything else I need to do?

Our issue ended up being fixed by this: segment-boneyard/nightmare#534

Closing this as it was an issue with electron on linux and nothing to do with codecept, but someone else might find this solution useful.
