How can I completely avoid webdriver-manager?

Question

I\'m trying to use protractor for e2e tests in my Angular project. I previously installed selenium server and chromedriver in my path and it works fine for non-angular proje

Answer 1

you can use ng cli option: webdriver-update to make it not to execute webdriver update as following:

ng e2e --webdriver-update=false

But ng e2e uses the webdriver in local package not global package, I think you need a npm script to copy your pre-prepared webdriver to project local package before execute ng e2e --webdriver-update=false
