Protractor: Unable to start a webdriver session for chrome
I am a new comer to protractor and I got problem trying to using protractor with webdriver.
I installed protractor and did "webdriver-manager update" to get selenium server and chromedriver and iedriver downloaded.
Then I start the selenium standalone server at local (127.0.0.1:4444)
then try to perform testing with "protractor conf.js", then I got following error message.
$ protractor conf.js
Using the selenium server at http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub

I assume you start WebDriver with webdriver-manager start?
If so, I cannot reproduce this with your config. Maybe adding spec.js (partially) would help.

I just use this tutorial to pratice
http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/tutorial
and the content of spec.js
// spec.js
describe('angularjs homepage', function() {
it('should have a title', function() {
browser.get('http://juliemr.github.io/protractor-demo/');
expect(browser.getTitle()).toEqual('Super Calculator');
});
});

I guess the problem lies in chromedriver or chrome.exe.
But it should be no wrong in chromedriver as it is downloaded by webdriver-manager.

Hmmm, works for me :cry:
jabbink

where is the chrome.exe in your machine? and what OS do you have?
iamblackheat
on 6 Mar 2015
In my own Protractor tests I do not even specify the location of the Chrome-executable, but I did try to specify it as you did.
I use Windows 7 (x64) with Chrome 40.0.2214.115 m (located on exactly the same path as your copy) in combination with node v0.12.0 and webdriver-manager gives me 21:35:11.109 INFO - v2.44.0, with Core v2.44.0. Built from revision 76d78cf.
I tried both http://localhost:4444/wd/hub as I did your option with 127.0.0.1: both work.

Please run your test with the --troubleshoot and post the output.

I try to use --troubleshoot but it is not accepted.

I'm guessing this is an issue with where your Chrome binary is. Can you check and make sure it's at C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe? Can you run other browsers?
juliemr

The path is correct.
I can run firefox and IE successfully.

Not sure what to say - we can't reproduce the problem. It's an issue with chromedriver, chrome, or the selenium standalone server. Can you try reinstalling them?
I'm going to close this issue sine it's not a general problem, but we can keep discussing here.

I'm having the same problem, but with a different configuration and OS (Linux), see relevant parts here: https://gist.github.com/orbitbot/b544d61fa4f51ed5170e. Confusingly my setup is working fine on my linux development machine, but is failing on a CI machine, while still using the same commands and same npm package versions...
On my development machine I can successfully run tests manually (with browsersync running) with ./node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor --troubleshoot true config/protractor.conf --baseUrl 'http://localhost:3000/#/' --specs test/integration/app.spec.js, but the development machine fails with
$ ./node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor --troubleshoot true config/protractor.conf --baseUrl 'http://localhost:3000/#/' --specs test/integration/app.spec.js

Have you tried run webdriver-manager update?
Installing chromedriver manually might help as well:
- download chromedriver (https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver)
- extract
- put the chromedriver file into your windows/system32 folder

Also experiencing the same issue as @orbitbot, @iamblackheat, and @cboden. Windows, with webdriver-manager up to date.
Edit: I finally resolved it by downgrading protractor to v1.8.0

You probably have java 8 installed, remove it and install java 7.

Just to add a helpful note: Instead of passing --troubleshoot true to the command line, which does not work for me, this can also be specified in the configuration file: troubleshoot: true,

That's it. Works like a charm.
PS: I did install protractor globally but that should not matter.

For me it works for chrome and firefox but not safari.
@tomaszrybakiewicz did you test this with safari. I have checked my JDK and it is:
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_76.jdk/Contents/Home
$ ll /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 9 Oct 2014 jdk1.7.0_67.jdk
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 10 Apr 09:21 jdk1.7.0_76.jdk
Thanks

@robwatkin Unfortunately no. I did not have a need to test it in Safari. Running E2E tests against 2 different web browsers was enough for me.

@orbitbot Your failures on the CI machine are due to not having a display available, try with XVFB

@martin770 Thanks for the catch! We have XVFB installed but it wasn't configured properly, for posterity, fixed with xvfb-run gulp integration in the CI config.

thanks @gilamran and @tomaszrybakiewicz .,
I had the same problem using OSX 10.11
pointing $JAVA_HOME to JDK1.7 did the trick for me

I had a similar problem and tried the various suggestions here, including the Java 7 solution, but I was still getting this error:

Turns out I had too many terminals open and was running webdriver-manager start as root.
Don't do this.

@GeraldScott Don't do what? Run webdriver-manager start multiple times or run it as root?

Don't run as root.

Adding Chromedriver to the /usr/local/bin folder solved the issue for me.

I faced the same issue. Just install or update the protractor. If you still installed the protractor also Do the following steps, run the following in cmd prompt or PowerShell
npm install protractor -g
npm install webdriver-manager -g
If you got the error as running in the background, check the running processor and close all the running processor and try.
After the above steps run the following
webdriver-manager update
webdriver-manager start
