node-chromedriver: Error when trying to download chromedriver binary

I’m not sure if this error is related to node-chromedriver or the binary itself but when downloading it manually the binary seems to work as expected:

ChromeDriver binary exists. Validating...
Current existing ChromeDriver binary is unavailable, proceding with download and extraction.
Downloading from file:  https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST/chromedriver_win32.zip

I had the same issue and tried the all the fixes but didn’t work. Then I updated the .npmrc with by adding this line, chromedriver_cdnurl=https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/chromedriver file which is located at “C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\npmrc”

and ran npm update
