Protractor>Package.json configuration> Cannot find

Question

I'm creating a protractor project and I need to set up the dependencies in the npm package.json

On my course my trainer has a window machine, I have a mac book and I am having problems finding the .bin folder so I can find the correct node to start protractor

I did

cd/documents/ls/cd JSworkspace/ls/my_project/ls/node_modules/ls

I was expecting to find the .bin folder....but I can't find it anywhere.

I don't know where to find the .bin folder and I would really appreciate your help. As I am looking for the webdriver manager file in the .bin folder

thanks a million

This is currently in my node_modules folder

Answer 1

thanks. I found that if I do shift+cmd+. I can reveal the hidden files. I was able to get access to the .bin folder.

I also installed protractor at local level as well.

Answer 2

.bin folder is hidden (and every folder/file with dot at the beginning). You need to do that in the terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

And then restart the Terminal.

Answer 3

Please uninstall and reinstall protractor at local level.
