Please let me know how to resolve it.

Your JSON file isn't valid. I'd recommend pasting it into http://jsonlint.com/ and make sure it validates there.

Hey, Update "start_process" : false, in nightwatch.json file to "start_process" : true, and see if you are resolved the issue.

If you examine the output of the error the root cause is a missing driver executable:

message: 'The driver executable does not exist: C:\\dev\\nightwatch\\node_modules\\nightwatch\\bin\\chromedriver',

You need to download the drivers separately and let nightwatch know where the driver is located through the configuration.

More details can be found in the cli_args section at: http://nightwatchjs.org/guide#selenium-settings
