I have newly installed protractor and webdriver-manager.
My protractor version: [email protected]
npm version - 5.10.0

This is the capability that I have provided in conf.js
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'Chrome',
},

Hi, @Siva123Prasad ! Please provide your configuration file and test example.

[Siva123Prasad]

Hi @IgorSasovets , Please find below the required documents.

Configuration file:
'use strict';

var SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter').SpecReporter;

// An example configuration file.
exports.config = {
// The address of a running selenium server.
//seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4422/wd/hub',
//seleniumServerJar: deprecated, this should be set on node_modules/protractor/config.json

// Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'Chrome',
},

baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/#/dashboard',

// Spec patterns are relative to the current working directly when
// protractor is called.
specs: ['test/protractor/*/.js'],

jasmineNodeOpts: {
showColors: true,
silent: true,
print: function () {}
},

onPrepare: function () {
/globals jasmine/
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({
spec: {
displayStacktrace: true
}
}));
}
};

Test File:
describe('Enter My-safety app', function() {
it('check if navigation test is clickable', function() {
element(by.class('ng-binding')).click();
});
});

[IgorSasovets]

There were some problems with you config file and tests as well. Here is modified version which works as expected without errors. Pleasr try and provide feedback about the results. If it needed, I can share simple project example.

conf.js

'use strict';

var SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter').SpecReporter;

// An example configuration file.
exports.config = {
// The address of a running selenium server.
//seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4422/wd/hub',
//seleniumServerJar: deprecated, this should be set on node_modules/protractor/config.json

// Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
    capabilities: {
        browserName: 'chrome'
    },

    directConnect: true,

    baseUrl: 'https://angularjs.org',

    // Spec patterns are relative to the current working directly when
    // protractor is called.
    specs: ['spec.js'],

    jasmineNodeOpts: {
        showColors: true,
        silent: true,
        print: function () {}
    },

    allScriptsTimeout: 11000,

    onPrepare: function () {
        /globals jasmine/
        jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({
            spec: {
                displayStacktrace: true
            }
        }));
    }
};

spec.js

describe('Enter My-safety app', function() {
    beforeAll(async() => {
        await browser.get('https://angularjs.org');
        await browser.wait(protractor.ExpectedConditions
            .elementToBeClickable($('a[href=\'https://angular.io\']')));
    });
    it('check if navigation test is clickable', () => {
        $('a[href=\'https://angular.io\']').click();
    });
});

Hi @IgorSasovets Thanks for the solution. Could you please let me know what exactly went wrong in my files?
I would like to know the exact reason for the failure, so that I can take the appropriate measure from this happening again.

[IgorSasovets]

Yes, sure. As you can see I made next changes:

• explicitly defined directConnect option;
• changed browser name(all letters should be written in lowercase);
• increased script timeout (optional, depends on app | browser | local machine performance);
• added navigating to the page in beforeAll hook with wait conditions;

[IgorSasovets]

@Siva123Prasad, did my solution help you? If yes, please close this issue.

[Siva123Prasad]

Hi @IgorSasovets. Thanks for the solution. This helped me. Closing this.
