protractor: Running Protractor tests on Webdriver 2.47.1 gets - Error: Server terminated early with status 1

From https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/1191:

Steps:

  1. Install Protractor 2.5.1 via npm
  2. Update webdriver/chrome: webriver-manager update (installs WebdriverJS 2.47.1)
  3. Run any Protractor test

Results: Two of four people on my team get the error below, and cannot ever run the tests until they downgrade webdriver. It works fine for the other two machines.

Impact:

Downgrading Webdriver to 2.45.0 fixes the problem. This occurs for 1/2 my team, and I found the same issue on StackOverflow

Error:

This is affecting a coworker’s machine, but not my own 😕

Downgrading to webdriver v2.45.0 (i.e. protractor v2.2.0) is not an option for us since we have upgraded to Node.js v4.2.

@chriswong929 didn’t have webdriver-manager running, but installing java through brew cask seems to fix it!

brew update
brew cask install java

Then selenium starts successfully and webdriver opens Chrome as expected.

So, seems to be some incompatibility with the standard OS X Java installation…? Very strange 😕

Turns out not to be a protractor issue though

As suggested in previous post,

brew update
brew cask install java

solved for me.

EDIT: I believe that upgrading java through brew did solve my issue, but there was also an issue with my SOCKS proxy that was preventing a required connection which made it look like this wasn’t the case.

This hasn’t been an issue with the proxy in the past, so I think something has changed somewhere, but it seems pretty unlikely that it is a problem for the protractor team.

I am seeing this issue too, and installing Java via brew does not solve the issue for me.

Unfortunately, not even downgrading to protractor v2.2 appears to solve this for me.

Following steps have resolved issue “Error: Another Selenium process is already running” for me as well, wasted last 2 hours trying to sort this out.

  • First install brew by following command : /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  • then run following command ( as suggested by previously by @elliottsj 👍 ): brew cask install java
  • Just confirm java version by following (it should somewhat 1.8.___** ):
java -version

java version "1.8.0_102"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_102-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.102-b14, mixed mode)

Thanks a lot guys

@chovy Try brew uninstall --force brew-cask; brew update.
