I am behind a firewall if that matters, running on localhost.

Which version of Chrome are you using? If you are using the latest version (59) then you should chromedriver 2.30. You are using 2.24 and this could cause a problem

[chriseugenerodriguez]

okay now scripts is this:

    "pree2e": "webdriver-manager",
    "e2e": "protractor ./protractor.conf.js"

error is still the same.

Ok, one last check. As far as I know Protractor hasn't officially supported NodeJS 8. What happens if you downgrade to 6.9 and use a clean install of the project?

[wswebcreation]

Just dit the following on my local machine. I cloned the example-project.

Added a this to the package.json

    "pretest.example":"webdriver-manager update",
    "test.example":"node ./bin/protractor example/conf.js"

And started running with npm run test.example. The test started a browser and this is my loggin

I would say this is a local problem and would suggest you to ask this question StackOverflow or Gitter because it has a bigger public. 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.)

I'm gonna close it for now.

Thanks!

@wswebcreation any advise on how my IT can troubleshoot this?

[wswebcreation]

First check it with the example project in a non work environment, like home, or a different computer. It should work there. Then check what the difference is between the networks (firewalls / proxies and so on) or install / folder rights on you computer and fix them.

[rakeshnambiar]

@wswebcreation can you give a try with directConnect: true in the protractor.conf.js

[wendellpereira]

@rakeshnambiar , it worked for me. Thanks!
