Protractor in STS IDE -> Could not find update-con

Currently I have Protractor v.5.1.1, Node.js v.6.10.0

All protractor tests work in window console but when I try to run them from STS IDE I get below error. Of course i did 'webdriver-manager update' but it doesn't help at all. Does anyone has an idea how to resolve this problem?

Below the error respectively when I use or do not 'directConnect'

My conf.js looks like:

var SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter').SpecReporter;

exports.config = {
  //    directConnect:true,
  specs: ['spec4.js'],
 framework: 'jasmine2' ,

 onPrepare: function () {
  jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({
  spec: {
    displayStacktrace: true,
    displaySuccessesSummary: true,
    displayFailuresSummary: true,  
    displayPendingSummary: true,
    displaySpecDuration: true,     
      },

    }));
  },

  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    defaultTimeoutInterval: 25000,
    print: function () {},
},

I don't have selenium folder in the path node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager but I have package.json where I added "webdriver-update": "webdriver-manager update". This is the output of npm run webdriver-update:

It looks like you are either using directConnect or launching with a local driver provider (not having seleniumAddress or directConnect) in your configuration file. You need to run webdriver-manager update.

Previously I had extra flags to not download standalone or gecko with webdriver-manager update --standalone false --gecko false. This is no longer the case if you are starting via a local driver provider. You will need the selenium standalone jar file.

You could run this with a script in package.json. Something like:

"scripts": {
  "webdriver-update": "webdriver-manager update"
}

Then execute this with: npm run webdriver-update. How do you check if the binaries are there? In your project, navigate to node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/. This is where the update-config.json and your downloaded binaries are located.

回答2:

You can try to update it like this, it will definitely update it in node_modules/protractor :

$ ./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update

回答3:

Just execute webdriver-manager with npx command in your project folder;

npx webdriver-manager update

回答4:

On MacOS, I resolved this error by adding the seleniumAddress to my Protractor config file (I was previously using directConnect, so commented that out):

// directConnect: true,
// baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4000/',
seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/',

I now start Protractor server by running: $ webdriver-manager start

And in a different terminal window, I start tests with: $ ng e2e

回答5:

You just need to run this command and it fixes it - npm run webdriver-update it updates you webdriver in node_modules section under node_modules/protractor.

These 2 lines are the main culprits. Just try running that command and it should fix your issue.

Hope that helps!
