Hi, @ravi005e ! Please provide more details about your issue (executed commands, etc.).

[wswebcreation]

@ravi005e
This is an error in your own script. Please check for syntax errors. I'm going to close this for now because we only use this issue list for issues with Protractor itself.

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!

[IgorSasovets]

@wswebcreation , thanks that payed attention to this issue!

You have a syntax error, see the stacktrace. These questions are also better suited for Stackoverflow in stead of here.

[ravi005e]

node .\node_modules\protractor\bin\protractor config.js
