Protractor: Chrome (v57) opens error alert for extensions loading error

[pedrotst]

I just updated my chrome from version 56 to version 57 and protractor stoped working, it opens the following error (similar with #1589):

Reproduced with https://github.com/angular/protractor/tree/master/example

In the example if I click OK everything runs fine, with an alert that extensions are disabled.

In my own project it won't run at all, but I can't reproduce the behavior at the example.

• Node Version: 6.2.0
• Protractor Version: 5.1.1
• Browser(s): Chrome 57.0.2987.110
• ChromeDriver: 2.28
• Operating System and Version Windows 7

Config file

desiredCapabilities: {
    browserName: 'chrome',

    chromeOptions: {
        args: [ 'disable-extensions', 'disable-plugins']
    }
},

I'm not super familiar with this error but it seems like it is typically due to setup on your machine. I'm not able to reproduce this with the example. Do you have a clean version of chrome installed?

I'm actually posting this because everyone at my work (4ppl so far) is having the same issue upon updating chrome.

One of us actually did a chrome clean install and nothing.

Are you on windows though?

capabilities: {
    browserName: 'chrome',
    chromeOptions: {
        args: ['disable-extensions', 'disable-plugins']
    }
},

I got same exact error. Here is my config.

Could we get an update to Protractor version 4 to use ChromeDriver 2.28?

@pedrotst

Are you still facing this issue? By the way, you are on NPM 6.2 but protractor 5.x will need 6.9.x, see the package.json

If there is no activity within the coming week I'll close the issue.
