Unable to use Protractor webdriver-manager

Question

I am trying to start protractor on my local Windows development machine. In an attempt to do so, I am trying to start it from the command-line using the following command:

Answer 1

use grunt-protractor-webdriver, you also need protractor in your package.json if you don`t installed it as global (-g)

add this to your package.json under "devDependencies":

    "protractor": "^2.1.0",
    "grunt-protractor-webdriver": "^0.2.0",

also look at grunt-protractor-runner it can start protractor from a grunt process without starting the selenium server ( webdriver-manager start )

to start the selenium server with grunt-protractor-webdriver add this to your Gruntfile

    protractor_webdriver: {
        options: {
          keepAlive: true
        }
    }

and add it to a grunt-task

    grunt.registerTask('start-selenium-server', ['protractor_webdriver']);
