Mention any other details that might be useful

I have tried running ng e2e --webdriver-update=false but got the same error.

Thanks,

[itsUndefined]

Downgrading nodeJS version to LTS fixes the issue. You could try that for now.

[ismcagdas]

Thanks a lot @itsUndefined 😄 it worked for me.

[vitaly-t]

Downgrading from the latest Node.js v11.x to the latest v10.x worked for me.

[dmacfarlane]

I got the same error on Node.js 10.14.2, downgrading to 10.14.1 worked for me.

[HamedFathi]

I got the same error too. 👎

[Pluckerpluck]

Same issue. 11.x and 10.14.2 do not work for me. 10.14.1 works fine.

Not the best start to trying out Angular for the first time...

[Local9]

Same issue, took ages to find out what it was. Can confirm the issue showed with node 10.14.2.

[filipesilva]

Heya all, we have a fix incoming in https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/13272.

For Angular 6 users, upgrading Node to latest LTS (10.15.0) is working

[filipesilva]

The fix we merged should be in in the next patch release of the build system (@angular-devkit/[email protected]), which isn't out yet.

[gowthaman-murugan]

@filipesilva Thank you for the quick response, but when we expect this version, I get another audit issue in "@angular-devkit/[email protected]"

[prajaktashah]

working with node version 10.14.1, seems issue with chrome driver in 10.15.1 version.

[YuliyaY]

Node 10.15.1 and angular 7.2 -> had the same error
Downgraded node to 10.14.1 -> worked

[mugshepherd]

Node 10.15.1 and Angular 6.1.10. and had same error.
Downgrading to Node 10.14.1 worked for me.

[doggy8088]

@filipesilva I think this might have a regression issue.
I can confirm Node 10.15.1 and Angular CLI 7.3.3 had the same error. When downgraded to Node to 10.14.1 just works!

[doggy8088]

@Kiku-git Will you send a PR to angular-cli repo?

[kritikatyayan]

WORKED FOR WINDOWS 10

Install the current version using nvmw

nvmw install v10.14.2
nvmw install v8.4.2
nvmw ls
nvm use v8.9.4
node -v

You are good to go if it shows 8.9.4 !!!!

[doggy8088]

I just confirmed that Node 10.15.1 solved this issue.

[slavenl]

I confirming that this error still occur on Node 10.15.3 with Angular CLI 7.3.8

[jalchr]

If ng e2e has such dependency on specific versions of node, wouldn't there be a version check when running this command and inform the developer properly ?

ng e2e
You current version of node is xx.xxx.xx, you should use at most version yyy.yyyy.yyyyy 

[LiorSaadon]

Error still occur on windows10
Node 10.15.3 with Angular CLI 7.0.4

[MacGyver214-zz]

@LiorSaadon and anyone else still experiencing issues -- you need to run npm install @angular-devkit/build-angular@latest with the latest stable Angular CLI and Node versions. I can't confirm that it will work with Angular CLI v7.0.4 but I confirmed this morning that my tests pass with the following:
