issue with the webdriver-manager start

when I run webdriver-manager start, after an update which processes successfully, I get this error:

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\webdriver-manager\lib\index.js:243
  console.log('seleniumProcess.pid: ' + seleniumProcess.pid);
                                        ^
ReferenceError: seleniumProcess is not defined

I’m trying to run this on a 64bit windows 7 machine, running node v0.10.29 and Java SE runtime environment build 1.8.0_05-513. Do I need to install some separate selenium dependency for windows? Seems obvious and common, but I tried to google this but I found no one with the same error.

This issue got resolved by setting the System Variables. SET PATH=C:\Windows\System32

Also set the environment variables Path to JDK

@mona9301’s issue also happens on Linux. (Kubuntu 14.04) I found I didn’t install Java. I installed it and the issue is fixed.

I think webdriver-manager should show error message that java is not installed or not under PATH. @juliemr Can you reopen this?
