I was seeing the same error with Angular 5 testing. Maybe this is stating the obvious but I didn’t know you needed to start “ng serve” separately before running your e2e tests if you want to debug. Here is the discussion where I found the answer: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/4183

Hope this helps someone!

I see above that you have return /thetestroom/.test(url); in the code above. That was an example I gave for someone else for their url in an older response. Please change ‘thetestroom’ here to whatever your url will look like. You should have gotten wait time out here instead of angular issue. Here is the code I have to solve this issue

 homepage.myButton.click().then(function() {
     browser.driver.wait(function() {
        return browser.driver.getCurrentUrl().then(function(url) {
          return url.includes('......'); // checks if the new url has what you are looking for in ...    
     }); // this waits until the url changes to whatever it should be in ....
    }, 25000, "URL hasn't changed").then(function() {
   // after url changed, in new page check these 
   // pec is protractor expected condition.
    // See http://www.protractortest.org/#/api?view=ProtractorExpectedConditions
     browser.wait(pec.visibilityOf(homepage.feedTitle), 20000); 
     expect(homepage.feedTitle.getText()).toContain('.....');
      expect(homepage.feedBody.getText()).toContain('.....');  
  });

instead of waiting for url to change, wait for the emailAddress element to be present as well. Also try browser.driver.wait and browser.driver.getCurrentUrl. Move all the other test code inside the get()…{} block as well.

@reddynr I do not see you wait for an element or anything after you .get() the page. You should. See examples above in this thread

In your case it should be browser.get(..).then(function() { browser.driver.wait(browser.driver.isElementPresent(by.model('ctrl.formData.emailAddress'))); // all remaining sendKeys, submit and assert code here. });

I do not see you waiting for Angular or wait for any specific url change in browser or an element before you get the title. See if this helps.

browser.get(testUrl).then(function() { browser.wait(function() { return browser.getCurrentUrl().then(function(url) { return /thetestroom/.test(url); }); }, 10000); });
