}

When i run 'webdriver-manager start',the problem still continue.

Protractor 5 requires Node 6.9.4 or higher, I believe that's the cause of the error you're seeing.

[yy7054wyq5]

Yes, i hava update node.js to 6.9.4, but the tutorial did't say it.

[irtiza]

Same error with node 7.2.1
@yy7054wyq5 do you know how you were able to resolve it?

[yy7054wyq5]

I think u should install v6.9.5 LTS. @irtiza
I use nvm to manager node.js version.
If your pc is windows system, u must use nvm-windows

[GordonMohrin]

I had the same Problem with node 6.4, but upgrading node to version 6.9.5 did not resolve it.

[yy7054wyq5]

Sorry,i use node 6.9.4 @GordonMohrin
This is my mistake.

Hi there!

Your question is better suited for StackOverflow or Gitter. Please ask a question there with the 'protractor' tag or post in the Gitter Channel to get help.

From the the getting help section of the README:

Please ask usage and debugging questions on StackOverflow (use the "protractor" tag) or in the Angular discussion group. (Please do not ask support questions here on Github.)

Thanks!

[Lakshmikandan]

Thank you!! I will check with other group!!!

You can also install an older version of protractor that doesn't rely on node 6.9.4 or higher (i.e. npm install -g [email protected]) and that should resolve the issue.

@kylekrzeski

You are right, but keep in mind that protractor 4.x is relying on Selenium 2.53 in stead of 3.x. That could cause troubles supporting the latest webdrivers (like for example Firefox)

Selenium server is up and running.

Config Code :-

var todoList = element.all(by.repeater('todo in todoList.todos'));
expect(todoList.count()).toEqual(3);

Please check this issue https://github.com/angular/webdriver-manager/issues/192. It's related to the version of node Eclipse is running. They can differ from your local one
