Answer 1

Why is this happening? Version 10.2.9 requires node 6 and since it did not follow semantic versioning / caused a big problem, it was unpublished from npm and 10.2.10 has been published. To read more about 10.2.10, see the changelog.

If you have encountered this issue, please remove the node_module/webdriver-manager and do a fresh npm install.

Answer 2

You can downgrade webdriver version to 9.0 with this command:

npm install -g webdriver-manager@9.0
