Jasmine/Protractor reporters work in Electron, but Jasmine2HtmlReporter reporter does not

[corvinrok]

Protractor's configuration allows you to set an executable as the binary, as in:

exports.config = {
    seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
    specs: ['./Test Cases/app/test_suite.js'],
    capabilities: {
        browserName: 'chrome',
        count: 1,
        chromeOptions: {
            binary: 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Software Company/AppDir/MyApp.exe'
        },
        useAllAngular2AppRoots: true,
        onPrepare: function () {
            browser.resetUrl = 'file://';
        }
    },

Since Electron is essentially a frame around a Chrome embedded browser, this means that you can run protractor tests against any properly built Electron app. In my case, I have utilized the JUnitXmlReporter and all works well, being configured as follows inside of the same exports.config definition shown above :

    framework: 'jasmine2',
    onPrepare: function() {
        var config = require('./gulp.config')();
        var jasmineReporters = require('jasmine-reporters');
        jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new jasmineReporters.JUnitXmlReporter({
            consolidateAll: true,
            savePath: config.ci,
            filePrefix: 'protractor-tests.xml'
        }));

This works fine, as do others such as the TerminalReporter included with the standard set, and individual reporters such as the jasmine2-reporter.

Seeing the Jasmine reporter extensibility seemed to be compatible, I implemented the Jasmine2HtmlReporter as follows:

        var Jasmine2HtmlReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter');
        jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(
            new Jasmine2HtmlReporter({
                savePath: config.ci,
                filePrefix: 'protractor-htmlReport',
                fileNameDateSuffix: true
            })
        );

However, it appears the screenshot method within the reporter is failing within that CEB. Here is the spewed error:
