Unable to run test on IE(9) browser , when latest protractor version and IE9 version is in place.

[malviya84]

Hi Team,

I downloaded the latest protractor version and trying to run test on IE9 version ,but getting following exception.

1. Conf.js // An example configuration file. exports.config = { directConnect: true,

   // Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance. capabilities: { 'browserName': 'internet explorer' },

   // Spec patterns are relative to the current working directly when // protractor is called. specs: ['example_spec.js'],

   // Options to be passed to Jasmine-node. jasmineNodeOpts: { showColors: true, defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000 } };

   2.example_spec.js describe('angularjs homepage', function() { it('should greet the named user', function() { browser.get('http://www.angularjs.org');

   element(by.model('yourName')).sendKeys('Julie');

   var greeting = element(by.binding('yourName'));

   expect(greeting.getText()).toEqual('Hello Julie!'); });

   describe('todo list', function() { var todoList;

   beforeEach(function() { browser.get('http://www.angularjs.org');

   todoList = element.all(by.repeater('todo in todos'));

   });

   it('should list todos', function() { expect(todoList.count()).toEqual(2); expect(todoList.get(1).getText()).toEqual('build an angular app'); });

   it('should add a todo', function() { var addTodo = element(by.model('todoText')); var addButton = element(by.css('[value="add"]'));

   addTodo.sendKeys('write a protractor test');
   addButton.click();
   
   expect(todoList.count()).toEqual(3);
   expect(todoList.get(2).getText()).toEqual('write a protractor test');

   }); }); });

can you please help me to understand this issue and resolve it.

Thanks Amit

The issue is precisely what it says in the first line of the error message.

browserName (internet explorer) is not supported with directConnect.

You'll need to use a different method for finding browsers to use IE. Please read http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/server-setup.

Also, please note that we support the latest two versions of IE (11 and 10) - we do not specifically support IE 9 and you may run in to some problems.

I'm closing as this is a question, not an issue.

Please make sure to install npm install protractor

Update web driver manager webdriver-manager update

Run this command from your root node node_modules\protractor\bin\webdriver-manager update

Now start up a server with: webdriver-manager start

Also make sure that your protractor.conf.js file has below line // baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4200/', seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/',

Now run your e2e tests on different browsers ng e2e
