Protractor 5.4.2 and Webdriver 12.1.6 along with the chromedrivers do not support chrome 76

Protractor 5.4.2 and latest Webdriver manager with Chromdriver versions donot work with new Chrome versions like 76.0.3809.100

I tried all of the suggestions Google and Protractor forums with no luck yet. I have tried the below -

1. directConnect: true

And then in my package.json added

"postinstall": "cd ./node_modules/gulp-protractor && npm i [email protected] && cd ../../ && ./node_modules/.bin/webdriver-manager update --gecko=false"

I have tried this with and without adding explicit dependency

"webdriver-manager": "12.1.6"

The below is the error message I see -

E/direct - Error code: 135
[12:06:06] E/direct - Error message: Could not find update-config.json. Run 'webdriver-manager update' to download binaries.
[12:06:06] E/direct - Error: Could not find update-config.json. Run 'webdriver-manager update' to download binaries.

  1. directConnect: false and same dependencies and postInstall script as above. I am able to see the browser launch. But it does not interact with the browser.

My Chrome is currently on version 76.0.3809.100 and the latest chromedriver downloaded seems to be chromedriver_76.0.3809.12 for [email protected]. I specifically tried mentioning a different higher version as well in webdriver update - 76.0.3809.68. The below was the error -

[12:24:58] E/launcher - Unable to create new service: ChromeDriverService
Build info: version: '3.141.59', revision: 'e82be7d358', time: '2018-11-14T08:25:53'

Driver info: driver.version: unknown

I am pretty much flabbergasted and out of options. Is there anything else we could try?

P.S : Protractor upgrade is not feasible since we can't upgrade our node version.

I ran into the same issue today and was able to resolve it with the following:

It seems you can force protractor to point to the updated version of chrome, and it works fine.

Figure out what version of chrome you are using (chrome://chrome in chrome address bar will work). Then download the chrome driver that correlates to your version and place it in and remove everything else from your selenium directory in your node_modules.

Then run the following

./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome {end}

where {end} is the text that comes after chromedriver_ in the name of the zip you downloaded (at the time of writing the file name is chromedriver_mac64.zip so {end} would be mac64.

After going through these steps I was able to run protractor with chrome again.
