Repro steps.

Start ng e2e behind a corporate proxy and it will fail due to a self-signed certificate in chain

The log given by the failure.

Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain
at TLSSocket. (_tls_wrap.js:1081:38)
at emitNone (events.js:86:13)
at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:186:7)
at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:599:8)
at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:429:38)

Desired functionality.

Webdriver Update without certificate check

Mention any other details that might be useful.

It works when I add ignore_ssl: true to the parameters of webdriverUpdate.program.run (e2e.js:55)

[cexbrayat]

You can add a script to manually download the webdrivers in your package.json,
that will ignore the SSL certificate:

"scripts": {
  "pree2e": "webdriver-manager update --ignore_ssl"
}

Then run the e2e tests without downloading the drivers:

ng e2e -wu false

See the docs

If I use this setup with yarn run e2e I get the following error (code. 135): Could not find update-config.json...

[filipesilva]

On Angular CLI's side the best we can do is not run webdriver update, like @cexbrayat showed.

Please open a new issues for the update-config.json problem you are experiencing.
