Answer 1

This is common issue, I faced it many times.

I use chromedriver in my selenium framework once in month and I usually get this type of error.

Follow below steps:

1. Unistall/Remove all existing chromedriver.
2. Install latest chromedriver from official google site.
3. Set system path to chromedriver.exe folder (So you don't need to bother about setting the system path from code)

4. Restart the IDE (If already running)

5. ENJOY !

Answer 2

I have the same problem with 2.24 version. In order to fix this bug download chromedriver.exe with version 2.25, it's available now by link https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

Answer 3

If the latest protractor is not having the latest chromedriver then to update it using webdriver-manager follow these below steps

enter latest chromedriver version in file config.json this file is present under path /node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/built

optional (and change 'mac32' to 'mac64' in file 'chrome_driver.js' which is present under path /webdriver-manager/built/lib/binaries)

run webdriver-manager update in the console.

hint: To get the path of 'webdriver-manager' folder observe the console after command webdriver-manager update

After big battle with above issue i have found the solution for it. So please don`t do anything.

First of all uninstall your chrome browser and reinstall it. That`s it protractor will not throw any such errors.

I even don`t know why this happened and for what reasons looks bit strange but yes the only solution is uninstall the chrome browser and reinstall it.

npm uninstall webdriver-manager -g npm install webdriver-manager -g

Answer 6

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!
