By default NickJS tries to launch the google-chrome-unstable binary which is not in your PATH.
You can specify where it is with the CHROME_PATH environment variable, for example: export CHROME_PATH="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"
Does that work?

Hi @laamb, there is. You have to make sure the CHROME_PATH environment variable contains the path to your Google Chrome executable.

I know that from the error message, but on Windows, you don't have google-chrome-unstable
And I don't see option to change the binary execution path for NickJS.
from nickjs.
On Windows you can set environment variables too, as explained here: https://superuser.com/questions/79612/setting-and-getting-windows-environment-variables-from-the-command-prompt
You have to set CHROME_PATH to the exact path of you Google Chrome executable (chrome.exe)
from nickjs.
OK, so NickJS read from CHROME_PATH by default.
On Windows, that variable is not set when installing Chrome.
You should take the executionpath as param for instantiate NickJS, or spawn the Chrome process in the same way as Chromeless/Puppeteer does.
from nickjs.
CHROME_PATH is not set by default, on any OS. You have to set it yourself.
It's true that NickJS' launch could be improved in many ways. We'll continue improving it. In the meatime, PRs welcome :)

I seem to not be able to get it to open Chrome either.
Error could not start chrome: Error: spawn C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application Chrome.exe ENOENT
I just have this line at the top of my app.js
process.env['CHROME_PATH'] =
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application Chrome.exe``
from nickjs.
Can you try by declaring your environment variable in your shell or in the windows env?
from nickjs.
@Ampix0 @paps I think the following should work.
process.env.CHROME_PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe"
Setting an environment variable on a remote machine may be difficult in some cases.
from nickjs.
Is there an actual fix for this that works ?
