nightwatchjs
Instructions in getting started don't seem to work with default geckodriver
On MacOS I followed the steps in the getting started quickstart
npm init -y
npm install nightwatch --save-dev
npm install geckodriver chromedriver --save-dev
To execute my first test I use the example on the page that doesn't specify an environment so it uses geckodriver
npx nightwatch node_modules/nightwatch/examples/tests/ecosia.js
When I run this I get the following error
[Ecosia.org Demo] Test Suite

I tried to recreate the issue and I couldn't.
Do you have Firefox installed?

Firefox was inadvertently wiped off my system from an IT policy so that was it. Thanks.
