Protractor: chromedriver_2.33.exe hangs around after test finishes.

[delfu]

Bug report

when running webdriver-manager update and protractor config.js the test processes properly, but upon finishing, leaves behind a chrome_2.33.exe and never cleans it up.

• Node Version: 8.7.0
• Protractor Version: 5.2.0
• Angular Version: 1.5.8
• Browser(s): chrome 62
• Operating System and Version Windows 10

• protractor configuration file: very simple, no other settings other than listed

  ```
  framework: "jasmine",
  plugins: [],
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
  defaultTimeoutInterval: 120000
  },
  capabilities: {
  "browserName": "chrome",
  "chromeOptions": {
  "args": ["--window-size=1200,1000"]
  }
  },

  suites: {
  example: "spec.js"
  }

this causes a new chromedriver.exe to pile up after each time we test. and makes it impossible for us to do a clean build without having to kill all the processes beforehand

I had the same issue, downgrade of server helped:
webdriver-manager update --versions.standalone 3.4.0

yep that seems to have fixed it. @cnishina you mentioned a fix in a stackoverflow answer This seems to have been broken from 3.4.0 to latest (3.7.0)

This issue can be reporoduced with the config file and spec files here on Windows 10
it uses both
directConnect
and
restartBrowserBetweenTests
spec and config on pastebin

Is this issue still valid with the latest version of chromedriver?

[vsravuri]

I see this issue with Chromedriver 2.34

[ezekeal]

Our issue was resolved by removing the flag --no-sandbox from our test config.

I still see the issue with Chromedriver 2.35
