Getting error: Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: {}

Question

My e2e.conf.coffee file is:

exports.config =
  baseUrl: \'http://localhost:9001\'
  specs: [
    \'e2e/**/*.coffee\'
  ]

  framework: \'jasmine

If you need to be using browser.get and are getting this error, the issue is most likely to be the rootElement property in protractor config file.

By default Protractor assumes that the ng-app declaration sits on the BODY-element. However, in our case, it could be declared somewhere else in the DOM. So we have to assign the selector of that element to the rootElement property:

// rootElement: 'body', // default, but does not work in my case
rootElement: '.my-app', // or whatever selector the ng-app element has
