For me this turned out to be an issue w/ the latest version of Chrome (v54) and how it interacts w/ Chromedriver.

So when you install the latest Chromedriver via webdriver-manager update, right now it's installing the default Chromedriver version which is 2.22. In Chrome 54 they changed something w/ the Devtools API which breaks that version. I got around this issue by forcing webdriver-manager to download Chromedriver v.2.2.4 doing this:

webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome=2.24

That will download version v.2.24. However, if you are connecting to Protractor using directConnect: true in the config (which you probably are), protractor will still attempt to use the default (v.2.22) driver when running tests. To fix that, you need to specify a chromeDriver setting in protractor.conf.js as well. To get it to work on Windows and Unix platforms you can do something like this:

chromeDriver: `./node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/chromedriver_2.24${process.platform.indexOf('win') === 0 ? '.exe' : ''}`

Kind of annoying but at least it's working.

Are you behind a proxy by any chance?

amellnik on 20 Sep 2016

You seem to have some hosts/ports blocked.

[12:50:04] E/launcher - Error: ECONNREFUSED connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:53256

There might be a way around it, but I'd advice to check https://github.com/angular/protractor on how to do it. The CLI just uses protractor for e2e tests.

filipesilva on 3 Oct 2016

No, no proxy. And you do realize that 127.0.0.1 is the localhost, right? So no, there aren't any ports blocked.

I'm also getting this issue on my home PC (work computer works fine).

For me this turned out to be an issue w/ the latest version of Chrome (v54) and how it interacts w/ Chromedriver.

webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome=2.24

chromeDriver: `./node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/chromedriver_2.24${process.platform.indexOf('win') === 0 ? '.exe' : ''}`

Kind of annoying but at least it's working.

Thanks @ecozoic your solution has helped running protractor tests again for Chrome 54.

Just tried this on Mac OS Sierra and got a bunch of errors, on a pretty much stock Angular-CLI app:

Yeah you might have to adjust the path of chromeDriver based on where it's actually installed. I have a Macbook at home but I haven't tested it on that one yet, still running on Windows 10 at the moment.

ecozoic on 13 Oct 2016

Hm. Seems there isn't a "chromedriver" anywhere. I did a find . -name "*chromedriver*" in my node_modules folder and nothing came up.

jtsom on 13 Oct 2016

Thanks ecozoic for the workaround. Just sharing that in my case all I had to do was the below in order to solve our issue with protractor:

cd protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/bin
./webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 2.24

In my project (again, a simple Angular-cli app), there isn't anything under the node_modules/protractor/node_modules folder - it's empty.

I did find node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager, and when trying the command given, I get:

➜  bin git:(master) ✗ ./webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 2.24

It looks like it's trying and failing to download chromedriver_2.24mac32.zip, which doesn't exist.

Exactly same error than jtsom.

galicians on 21 Oct 2016

I am having this exact same problem since Chrome updated to v54 and getting the same errors when trying to download chromedriver version 2.24. Has anyone found a solution?

mantisbayne on 25 Oct 2016

If that helps anyone I manualy downloaded the chrome-driver version 2.24. from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
then dropped it in
C:\Users\%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp\chromedriver

and that did the job for me as when I run the commands now it finds it from the temp directory

IcodeNet on 26 Oct 2016

@mantisbayne if you are still having problems you might try:

Make sure you are on protractor version 4.0.9 or higher in your project.
webdriver-manager is a dependency of protractor and has a config file specifying the driver version. You should be on 10.2.5 or above. Provided you are above that version it should automatically get the 2.24 driver. I was running into this problem on my CI and had to reset my dependency cache.

Providing you are on an updated version of protractor this problem should resolve itself automatically without manually downloading the chromedriver. I would nuke your node_modules directory and do a fresh npm install.

kevin-ashton on 26 Oct 2016

I forgot I had posted on this thread too. I got a response from protractor that webdriver-manager was updated two days ago, so everything started working again once I updated to 4.0.9. & did npm install. Issue fixed

mantisbayne on 26 Oct 2016

I'm still encountering this issue with the following (up to date) dependencies:

protractor version 4.0.9
webdriver-manager version 10.2.7
chromedriver version 2.25.426935
chrome version 54.0.2840.87

For the time being I switched to using Canary with the following settings within protractor.conf.js:

capabilities: {
  "browserName": "chrome",
"chromeOptions": {
    "binary": "/Users/XXX/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary"
  }
},
