Protractor version: 5.4.2
Angular: 1.x

Present working directory: /protractor

CLI to run the test: sudo -u protractor xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0 1280x1024x24" -a protractor $@

File is present in the directory: -rw-rw-rw-. 1 jenkins jenkins 5528 Nov 23 07:14 protractor.conf_sanity.js

I have been scratching my head for a few days for this. What am I missing?

Hi, @faisalchishtii ! You should specify protractor config file when running tests.
