Not able to run Angular 2 E2E tests using protractor

Question

I am using Angular 2 and Angular 2 Seed package. I am trying to run my E2E tests. I have followed the steps which are listed on Seed page.

My protractor config looks like this:

const config = {
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:6563/',
  specs: [
    './dist/dev/**/*.e2e-spec.js'
  ],
  framework: 'jasmine',
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    showColors: true,
    isVerbose: false,
    includeStackTrace: false,
  },
  directConnect: true,
  capabilities: {
    browserName: 'chrome'
  },
  onPrepare: function() {
    const SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter');
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({ displayStacktrace: true }));

    browser.ignoreSynchronization = false;
  },
  useAllAngular2AppRoots: true
};

if (process.env.TRAVIS) {
  config.capabilities = {
    browserName: 'firefox'
  };
}

exports.config = config;

I start web driver using npm run webdriver-start on one terminal. I can see selenium server is up and running message:

I can reach http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub from chrome and create a session but when I run E2E test on another terminal, I get following error:

node_modules\selenium-webdriver\http\index.js:365
      onError(new Error(message));

Any pointers which can push me in right direction?

This error just started for me this morning. I suspected it was due to windows updates that were installed last night. After disabling the windows firewall i stopped getting ECONNREFUSED.

I then got another error and had to update chromedriver to 2.24 to get protractor to run.

After looking at your answer I looked at my versions of chromedriver, protractor. I updated their versions to latest and it started working. – Pradeep Oct 29 '16 at 09:34

I've also got the issue recently and fixed it by updating protractor and webdriver which version appeared to be very old.

Thank you. After updating my protractor, it worked for me too. It was sad that either windows update or chrome update broke things and I had to sweat for it. – Pradeep Oct 29 '16 at 09:36

This problem is due to angular 2 version (beta version or RC version). If you are doing code in beta and will try to run code in RC version, we need to change configuration and version accordingly. Please update your protrator and selenium-webdriver version. It will run properly.
