Fails with Chrome 57 about gulp-angular-protractor

[jrichter1]

Would this help? #42

[morozserg]

+1.
Tried to set in protractor config
seleniumServerJar: '/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar',
Didn't work.
Could you please take a look. Some workaround needed.
The best solution is to move protractor version to the latest one

[guan01]

+1,
would like to test latest Chrome version.
Not urgent for me, please update dependency when you have a chance.
thanks

[fertavora]

I tried to create a branch and push an update but I got a 403 error.
Bascially, I updated package.json dependencies to "protractor": "5.1.1"
Not sure if that fully helps but we can give it a try.

[fertavora]

Go ahead and merge the PR. Thanks!

Hi

I prefer doing the following stuff: #40 (comment)

If I have some time in the next week, I will achieve it

Regards

[fertavora]

Makes sense, thanks!

[benburton-se]

Hi, is there a workaround for this? Rolling back Chrome is not supported

[davidsulc]

Hi @rochejul,

Yes, I think the proposed solution in #40 will be the best solution. But note that the version of webdriver-manager should also be possible to specify. In fact, (for this issue) it is more important to be able to specify the webdriver version than protractor: outdated webdriver versions seem to be the main issue with Chrome updates breaking testing setups. By making it possible to update the webdriver to follow Chrome updates, it should no longer be necessary to update gulp-angular-protractor for these cases.

[fertavora]

Why should webdriver-manager be handled as a different dependency?
It comes within protractor so I guess using the latest protractor version it indeed uses latest webdriver-manager version.

[davidsulc]

But then you're once again dependent on the update schedule of somebody's package for your tests to be working. If you can use the webdrirver-manager version that you want, you can update as soon as Chrome introduces breaking changes, regardless of when the protractor package updates its own dependencies. Or am I missing something?

[dannyskoog]

@rochejul What's the status of what you talked about doing in your previous comment?

[rochejul]

@dannyskoog I try to deliver a 1.0.0 as soon as possible
See https://github.com/rochejul/gulp-angular-protractor/tree/releases/1.0.0

Regards

[dannyskoog]

@rochejul Sounds great. Cheers!

[benburton-se]

Just upgraded to 1.0.0 and it's working for us. Thanks :)

[rochejul]

@benburton-capgemini you are welcome

[fertavora]

@benburton-capgemini How did you make it to work? I updated to 1.0.0 but it is still using Chrome Driver 2.26 🤔

[rochejul]

I think you should do first an npm uninstall of the plugin, install nexte the expected version of protractor and webdriver-manager, and then install the plugin

[benburton-se]

@fertavora killed running instances of Chrome/Chrome driver on build machine. Pushed the change to package.json for 1.0.0 and then npm install in the build did the rest. I've just tried the gulp task locally and it's working fine there also. If @rochejul's advice doesn't work, maybe try deleting your node_modules folder?

[guan01]

Hi guys, first want to thanks for the big update. I am new and sorry for some newbie questions.
I did the update and maybe I did the wrong step, please correct me. thanks in advance. Please help

1. good baseline Chrome v53 and v0.4.2
2. npm uninstall gulp-angular-protractor (and delete dir from node_modules)
3. npm install --save-dev protractor (version 5.1.1)
4. npm install --save-dev webdriver-manager (version 12.0.5)
   webdriver-manager start (no error)
5. npm install --save-dev gulp-angular-protractor (version 1.0.0)
6. run tests and compare with step 1.

@guan01 Hi
Maybe the downloaded version of protractor or webdriver need this file ?

In the readme, I show you a stable example:

{
  "name": "example-gulp-protractor",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "",
  "scripts": {
    "gulp": "node node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js",
    "test": "npm run gulp protractor"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp": "latest",
    "gulp-angular-protractor": "latest",
    "protractor": "4.0.11",
    "webdriver-manager": "10.2.8"
  }
}

And said this:

Be carefull: some protractor and webdriver dependencies version required:

Some specific node version
Some specific npm version
Some specific browser version
...

Regards

[guan01]

@rochejul, Many thanks, I was able to run your example. I am running into another issue which totally not related to the framework, but perhaps you can help point me in the right direction?

After changing the Gulpfile.js and protractor.conf.js I got an error that google show very few solutions.

Hi, is possible that you can help provide a working example with Cucumber instead of Jasmine?

[rochejul]

Hi @guan01

There is an old example with this project: https://github.com/plopcas/example-protractor

Maybe it works again ?

Regards

[guan01]

Thank you, I managed to find the error in my environment. 1.0.0 is fully working.

[rochejul]

@guan01 Good news !

[danyc]

@guan01 could you please explain the finding? I had similar issue and did not have enough time to investigate.
Thank you

[guan01]

@danyc the issue for me was Cucumber.js was calling the wrong path.
This is the original call from /node_modules/cucumber/lib/cli/profiles_loader.js line 8
var definitionFilePath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'cucumber.js');
if you print out the path, its going to /node_modules/.bin/cucumber.js, which is wrong

I hard coded the path to
var definitionFilePath = 'C:\htmlDev35\node_modules\cucumber\lib\cucumber\cli\cucumber.js';

now works in latest chrome/ff/ie/edge for me.

Hope this fix your issue as well.
