if webdriver-manger update is not working , then download the driver manually from : https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

Now goto :

 C:\Users\somepath\node_modules\protractor\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium
 and below property to update-config.json





   "gecko": {
        "last": "C:\\pathtogeko\\geckodriver.exe"
    }

create a new file with that content if it doesn't exists:

{
       "gecko": {
            "last": "C:\\pathtogeko\\geckodriver.exe"
        }
}

Its very simple. Just do following:

  1. Check whether Gecko driver driver is already installed or not in your machine using command - "webdriver-manager status". This will show what has already installed like Selenium Server, IE, Chrome and Gecko drivers and version details on command prompt

  2. If you do not find the Gecko in the above list. Run below command to install the Gecko driver - webdriver-manager update

  3. Once Gecko driver installed, change the browserName:"firefox" in conf.js file and run your test scripts.
