Protractor: Can someone paste the conf.js file with internet explorer as browsername

[ghost]

Hi All,

About to run my protractor scripts on IE, downloaded the IE driver, but not able to set the required config in conf.js,

thanks in advance,
Mahesh

exports.config = {
    capabilities: {
        'browserName': 'internet explorer',
        'platform': 'ANY',
        'version': '11'
    },
};

Thanks @elgalu!

Thanks for response.
I have added this part in the conf.js file, but when running its complaining about the driver.
so i downloaded the driver from google website, what commands related the driver i need to add in conf.js file to make it work smoothly.

I use protractor from linux and connect to a remote selenium grid to test against IE.

But maybe you're looking for this (change the path to yours)

exports.config = {
    seleniumArgs: ['-Dwebdriver.ie.driver=node_modules/protractor/selenium/IEDriverServer.exe']
};

@mum6ue I just wrote a blog post about how to get setup with protractor and IE VMs:

http://elgalu.github.io/2014/run-protractor-against-internet-explorer-vm/

The article is a bit extensive because it targets my colleagues, so you should look into these sections first, maybe you'll find there what you're looking for:

Step 10 - Configure protractor to use IE11

Alternative 1 - Install nodejs on Windows

@elgalu - great post on configuring protractor against IE11. I do have a question on step 7. Where do you find the host file on your machine? Can I get a better path to /etc/hosts ?

[elgalu]

Linux or OSX: /etc/hosts
Windows: %SystemRoot%system32driversetchosts

Hi @elgalu I tried the technique you had provided for running a protractor test from a MAC to a Windows VM, specifically to run it on IE 11.

I ended up getting the following:

Jiangs-iMac:ui_automation_test Venkata$ protractor conf.js

It basically halts for about 10 seconds and then gives me the above error, message.
Any help would be awesome.
