I'm trying to run "ng e2e" command with octopus with following configuration but getting below error all the time:

An unexpected error occurred: undefined
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

npm ERR! rebar-spa-v2-template@0.0.3 e2e: `ng e2e`

Configuration is:

  • user-agent = "npm/6.12.1 node/v12.13.1 win32 x64"

Protractor.conf.js:

capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome',
    chromeOptions: {
      args: ['--headless', '--disable-gpu', '--window-size=800,600']
    }
  },

Package.json: tried with both of solution

postinstall: webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 79.0.3945.36

or

postinstall: cd ./node_modules/protractor && npm i webdriver-manager@latest

Any help will be appreciated.

This error message...

session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 79 (Driver info: chromedriver=79.0.3945.16 (93fcc21110c10dbbd49bbff8f472335360e31d05-refs/branch-heads/3945@{#262}),platform=Windows NT 10.0.14393 x86_64)

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:

Supports Chrome v79

  • Presumably you are using a Chrome with a version other then chrome= 79.0

  • Possibly the following command fails:

    webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 79.0.3945.36

So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver v79.0 and your current Chrome Browser

Solution

Ensure the following mentioned steps will solve the issue:

  • You may need to clean up once:

    webdriver-manager clean

  • You have the latest version of and you can install the same using the command:

    webdriver-manager@latest --save

  • Execute the following command will solve your issue:

    webdriver-manager update

  • Upgrade Chrome to the latest stable release:

    webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 79.0.3945.88

  • Above solution is working fine on localhost but with octopus is not working – Arun Singh Dec 27 '19 at 05:17
  • I have used above steps like below but still not working; It seems webdriver-manager not updating anyhow. "scripts": { "postinstall": "webdriver-manager clean && npm install webdriver-manager@latest && webdriver-manager update && webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 79.0.3945.88" }, – Arun Singh Dec 27 '19 at 11:04
  • Try using an older version of chrome `--chrome --versions.chrome=78.0.3904.97` – Sankalan Parajuli Dec 30 '19 at 06:05

I got this message when my system downloaded Chrome 90 in the background, even though my browser still said 89 (to be fair it was prompting me to update). I tried a few things but in the end I just ran npm uninstall chromedriver and then npm install chromedriver and everything started working again. Not ideal but I'm happy my tests are able to run.

EDIT:

I noticed that running the above commands updated my package.json file so it now said "chromedriver": "^90.0.0" in it. I'm guessing I could have made that version change myself and run npm install chromedriver to download the updated driver file. I'll try that next time.

The reason for me was that chromedriver was installed globally. Need just do npm i chromedriver -g
