I have simple Protractor test that runs fine on my local system, but crashes with the error config not defined when I run it as a part of the deploy pipeline in CodeShip. Since the error is happening as a part of the browser, I haven't got any useful stack trace either. Will be helpful if someone has seen this error before.

The entire error stack says:

Message:

That might be issue with wrong format of protractor.conf.js export.

In this file your configuration should be exported outside with

module.exports.config = ... Your config here.

Check that file that you referencing as config file, has exported config object with proper protractor configuration.

Here is example of file export : https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/example/conf.js
