Angularjs trying to run protractor

I am completing this angularjs tutorial

on step 3 they tell you to run the protractor by npm run protractor

when i do this inside the angular-phonecat folder nothing happens:

Nothing happens I have run the npm install and npm run update-webdriver command as directed beforehand.

Whats more i downloaded the android seed project and copied the code from step 3 in the tutorial to the controlers.js index.html and scenerios.js

When i run the protractor I get the following error (after my browser opens):

> [email protected] protractor C:\wamp\www\angularSite
> protractor test/protractor-conf.js

I run windows vista x64 on my machine if that helps at all.

This is what solved the issue for me:
1. Delete node_modules folder
2. Run npm install

In my case there was a problem with versions in package.json. I've tried the examples from Jonh Papa and, with my code, extracted from the AngularJS tutorial, it didn't work. I've taken the package.json from the AngularJS tutorial, removed that of Papa, moved node_modules to node_modules__ and run npm install and now everything works as expected.

Error: Angular could not be found on the page

means protractor could probably not find ng-app on the page.

<html ng-app="yourAppName">

check your html page. some people had problems with this when the ng-app tag was not inside the outest of html elements. at level might be sufficient. (or protractor could not access your page at all).

I had the same problem and installing a Java Runtime fixed it for me.

The Selenium driver requires java.

Be sure to open a new console after installing so java is added to the path.

I managed to get to a different error by updating the karma and karma-jasmine version in package.json

  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "~0.12",
    "karma-jasmine": "~0.2.0",

I then fixed something else:

Had the same issue. For me, the problem was that I had not ran "bower install". Try running "bower install" and then "npm run protractor".

I have encountered this when I forgot to run my webserver. You can solve it by simply running npm start in a separate shell. Protractor does not do this for you.
