Unable to run WebDriverIo tutorial

Question

I'm trying to follow the WebDriverIo tutorial at http://webdriver.io/guide.html .

After setting up the Selenium server, when I try executing the test node script (step 7 in the tutorial), selenium warns me of some errors (see screenshot for full log), and I don't get any output returned.

Steps to reproduce:

I start the Selenium server

When I try running the node script, this happens (clock to zoom):

At this point a Firefox window opens automatically, and remains blank.

I'm running Firefox v52 and Selenium 3.0.1. I downloaded Geckodriver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

Any obvious thing that I'm missing? I'm very new to Selenium and browser automation, forgive the generic input :)

what do you want to achieve? what is a content of test-js file? — catch23
test.js initializes a new instance of Webriverio, sets up its options, requests a page and console.logs its title. At the current state, Selenium seems to fail when attemtping to request the page. Please have a look at the very short tutorial here — jj-lucas

If you have been here to get your Windows release of gecko driver : https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases, you may have miss this message :

"IMPORTANT: If you use geckodriver with Selenium, you must upgrade to Selenium 3.3 since this release aligns HTTP responses with the WebDriver standard."

(I can see you are in v3.0.1).
