Protractor Error: Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: {}

[getafix]

Hi ,

We are using protractor to run coffee script tests at our workplace. I am getting this " Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: {} " error. At the end of every test there is a re-direction happening which is what is puzzling. Is there any configuration settings that I need to add Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: {} Any suggestions or pointers would help?

I am attaching part of the stack trace below

Is the page you testing in Angular ?. Use this if that's Non-angular page - browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;

[zhonghu]

This should be a known issue for protractor and the method @smahalingam mentioned works but it's definitely not the best solution. if we depress the synchronization for protractor, we also lose the benefit from protractor that it could wait $http services to finish and then run the test.

Hi Our's is Angular

I am running the coffee script (jasmine)tests in chrome driver Thanks

[mojjj]

does your site use continuos polling with $timeout (see http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/timeouts) ? this makes the call waitForAngular() to think you page is not finished loading, so it waits indefinately and the script times out.

this was my issue. solved at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26299173/protractors-waitforangular-fails-on-angular-webapp-appium-chrome-on-real-dev
