Answer 1

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.

I updated to Chrome Driver 2.25 which fixed the problem for me. This is a simple update:

• Download the latest version from: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
• Unzip the contents (it's one file "chromedriver.exe").
• Copy that over your existing chromedriver.exe
• For me that was at: \node_modules\protractor\selenium

That's it. I reran the tests and the pesky error went away.
