Are you behind a firewall? This looks like you are trying to do the https call to the selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com or chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com.

A good way to test this is browsing to:

https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/
https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/

If you are behind a proxy, then you should use the following flags:

  --ignore_ssl                Ignore SSL certificates
  --proxy                     Proxy to use for the install or update command

I am able to browse:
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/
https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/

I can see XMLs on hitting above links.

Can you please let me know the exact command to ignore ssl and other proxy option you mentioned above.

Any comments?

Hi, I am also facing the same issue. I tried to execute "webriver-manager update" with corporate proxy and without proxy too and I am seeing the same unhandled error event. I tried tracert to the googleapis and the trace was completed without any issues.

Node : v6.10.3
npm : 3.10.10

Troubleshoot method 1 : I tried to debug the issue by manually installing selenium server jar and chromedriver exe through npm install (npm install -g seleniumxxxxxx.jar and chromedriver). selenium server jar download was successful and to my surprise, chromedriver was throwing the following error.

Troubleshoot method 2 : I downloaded the jar and chromedriver exe (3.4.0 jar and 2.29) from cdn urls to selenium folder manually and exceuted "webdriver-manager status" command and got the below output.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> webdriver-manager status
webdriver-manager: using global installed version 12.0.5

[16:33:46] I/status - android-sdk is not present
[16:33:46] I/status - appium is not present

Now I executed "webdriver-manager start" command and getting the same unhandled event error.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> webdriver-manager start

events.js:160
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Could someone look into this issue.

[cnishina]

@AdityaDaksha This is a network environment issue. I cannot reproduce your error on my end just with the ignore_ssl flag.

@pyalam01 I would ask about your network setup. I have not tried the chromedriver node module. If both are having issues, I would see if you need to pass additional flags if you are behind a corporate proxy.

[pyalam01]

@cnishina : Yes, I am behind a corporate proxy, so I tried with and without proxy too but no luck. By passing --ignore_ssl flag, here is what I see.

[jnal]

I get the same problem as pyalam01. I am behind corporate proxy and I took the same route of downloading chromedriver_2.29.exe and selenium-server-standalone-3.4.0.jar manually and place them on the selenium folder of protractor\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium

when trying to update..

@pyalam01 I had the same issue, but then when I used the proxy switch too, eg
webdriver-manager update --ignore_ssl --proxy http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx
it got further

[stevegraygh]

@AdityaDaksha see my comment above, replace with your proxy ip and port number

[stevegraygh]

now I'm getting similar to @jnal node:14044) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: response status code is not 200. It was 503

[clarkj]

I am also experiencing what @jnal and @stevegraygh are experiencing. Did either of you find workarounds?

After running
webdriver-manager update --proxy http://my-proxy.com:8000 --ignore_ssl

It hangs for a few minutes after the final update before the rejected promise.

I believe this is related to an issue I'm working through on geckodriver. #257. I haven't had much time to debug this so for now:

webdriver-manager update --proxy http://my-proxy.com:8000 --ignore_ssl --gecko false

This is definitely something around GeckoDriver downloading from Github. I almost have a working test that can duplicate this set up.
