This isnt reproducable by anyone else, but I have upgraded all packages and my chrome binary and its still happening

What is expected?

selenium launches chrome and runs e2e tests

What is actually happening?

selenium launches chrome and immediately exits

So I got this working by installing chromedriver 76 as a dev dependency and then specifying it in my nightwatch config:

const chromedriver = require('chromedriver')

module.exports = {
  selenium: {
    cli_args: {
      'webdriver.chrome.driver': chromedriver.path
    }
  }
}

So am I reading this correctly, if you have chrome 76 installed you need to upgrade vue cli to v4.0.0-beta.0… to run e2e tests? Can I upgrade chromedriver separately? It doesn’t seem to have an effect.
