I am unable to run e2e test using protractor

When I am trying to run the angular phonecat app code from https://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial

It is showing this error

You have chrome and chrome driver installed?

Try this:

In 'protractor-conf.js' remove 'chromeOnly: true,' and put 'directConnect: true,'.

you can find it in angular_phonecat\test

    This fixed the problem for me too. Here is an explanation of what directConnect does if anyone else is curious: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30600738/difference-running-protractor-with-without-selenium – Erikk Ross Oct 17 '15 at 00:01

plus, run node cmd in administrator mode. That was the missing link for me!

  • WOW. I've been ripping my hair out on this one, and so I ran a cmd prompt in admin mode. I also installed Java 8, so I'm not sure exactly what the solution was of the two steps I just took. – bob.mazzo Sep 09 '16 at 19:04
