• Operating System and Version mac OS Catalina 10.15.7

  Your protractor configuration file

• exports.config = { //directConnect: true, seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',

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

  // Framework to use. Jasmine is recommended. framework: 'jasmine',

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

  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 todoList.todos')); });

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

  it('should add a todo', function() { var addTodo = element(by.model('todoList.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'); }); }); });

Try running webdriver-manager update to update the version of your chromedriver.

Also, you can see my configuration: https://github.com/andredesousa/essential-angular-scaffold/blob/main/e2e/protractor.conf.js

I have the same issue and I think this might be related to the webdriver-manager version that protractor uses. https://github.com/angular/webdriver-manager/commit/9fd6294517cdcd7fcf87994b84792db994d19003

Is it possible to update protractor's dependency?

You can call the file directly like node node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update
