Answer 1

Since I got the same issue and found this question, I'd like to add a bit more context: it is indeed a version problem between an 'old' chrome driver (2.22 in my case) and a 'newer' chrome release (54 in my case) like Sean answered.

However there is no need to fiddle manually with config files or downloads.

Instead just run

npm update protractor -g

To update protractor globally then

webdriver-manager update

To update the chrome driver. The newer chrome driver v2.25 is not yet included in the protractor package at the time of writing (you will get v2.24 instead) but it works fine with Chrome 54. Protractor is v4.09 at the time of writing. The same trick should work for future versions too!
