Unable to run protractor tests using this container

I constantly get the following error :

unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally (Driver info: chromedriver=2.25.426924 (649f9b868f6783ec9de71c123212b908bf3b232e),platform=Linux 4.4.24-moby x86_64) [18:30:50] E/launcher - WebDriverError: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally (Driver info: chromedriver=2.25.426924 (649f9b868f6783ec9de71c123212b908bf3b232e),platform=Linux 4.4.24-moby x86_64) at WebDriverError (/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/error.js:27:10) at Object.checkLegacyResponse (/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/error.js:639:15) at parseHttpResponse (/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/http/index.js:538:13) at /usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/http/index.js:472:11 at ManagedPromise.invokeCallback_ (/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/promise.js:1379:14) at TaskQueue.execute_ (/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/promise.js:2913:14) at TaskQueue.executeNext_ (/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/promise.js:2896:21) at /usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/promise.js:2820:25 at /usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/promise.js:639:7 at process._tickCallback (node.js:369:9)

Following is my protractor.conf.js :

NOTE: (I have tried with and w/o directConnect and SeleniumServerJar)

exports.config = {
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  framework: "jasmine2",
  specs: ['../abc/*.js'],
  // Chrome is not allowed to create a SUID sandbox when running inside Docker
  directConnect: 1,
  seleniumServerJar: '/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar',

  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome',
    'chromeOptions': {
      'args': ['no-sandbox', '--test-type=browser']
    }
  }
};

[adokania]

Anything on this? anyone running into it?

[mrsheepuk]

It works for me at the moment, but I might not have pulled the latest version recently... I use the following protractor.conf.js:

exports.config = {
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  framework: "jasmine2",
  onPrepare: function () {
    var JUnitXmlReporter = require('jasmine-reporters').JUnitXmlReporter;
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new JUnitXmlReporter({
      savePath: 'target',
      consolidateAll: false
    }));
  },
  specs: ['*.spec.js'],
  // Chrome is not allowed to create a SUID sandbox when running inside Docker  
  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome',
    'chromeOptions': {
      'args': ['no-sandbox']
    }
  }
};

[adokania]

Do you have a *.spec.js file in you current dir and see that the test passed? I am having trouble with the chrome version. Will try the conf. file mentioned here.

[adokania]

When I run as is using the above conf. file with appropriate spec file, i see the following:

[mrsheepuk]

I'll update my build server to the latest version of the image and give it a go to see if I see the same.

[mrsheepuk]

OK I've pulled the latest version of this image (i.e. mrsheepuk/protractor from the docker hub) down into my environment and it's working perfectly. Here's a spec I'm using successfully:

describe('usermanagement', function () {

  describe('register', function () {

    beforeEach(function () {
      // Ensure we're logged out before each test.
      browser.get('/logout/');
    });

    it('should have a register link on the home page, which shows the registration page when clicked.', function () {
      browser.get('/');
      expect(element(by.linkText('Register')).isPresent()).toBeTruthy();

      element(by.linkText('Register')).click();

      expect(browser.getLocationAbsUrl()).toMatch('/register/');
      expect(element(by.id('email')).isPresent()).toBeTruthy();
      expect(element(by.id('sheepname')).isPresent()).toBeTruthy();
      expect(element(by.id('password')).isPresent()).toBeTruthy();
    });

    it('should register when details are valid', function () {
      browser.get('/');
      element(by.linkText('Register')).click();
      element(by.id('email')).sendKeys('[email protected]');
      element(by.id('sheepname')).sendKeys('testuser');
      element(by.id('password')).sendKeys('password');
      element(by.id('registerButton')).click();

      // Registered message should be displayed, and form should not be visible.
      expect(element(by.id('registeredMsg')).isDisplayed()).toBeTruthy();
      expect(element(by.id('email')).isDisplayed()).not.toBeTruthy();
      expect(element(by.id('sheepname')).isDisplayed()).not.toBeTruthy();
      expect(element(by.id('password')).isDisplayed()).not.toBeTruthy();
      expect(element(by.id('registerButton')).isDisplayed()).not.toBeTruthy();

      // We should now be logged in, so the log-out link should be visible and the
      // register link should be hidden.
      expect(element(by.linkText('Register')).isPresent()).toBe(false);
      expect(element(by.linkText('Log out')).isDisplayed()).toBeTruthy();
    });

    it('should not register if the email is already used', function () {
      browser.get('/');
      element(by.linkText('Register')).click();
      element(by.id('email')).sendKeys('[email protected]');
      element(by.id('sheepname')).sendKeys('testuser2');
      element(by.id('password')).sendKeys('password');
      element(by.id('registerButton')).click();

      // Not registered message should be displayed.
      expect(element(by.id('emailInUse')).isDisplayed()).toBeTruthy();
    });

    it('should not register if the sheepname is already used', function () {
      browser.get('/');
      element(by.linkText('Register')).click();
      element(by.id('email')).sendKeys('[email protected]');
      element(by.id('sheepname')).sendKeys('testuser');
      element(by.id('password')).sendKeys('password');
      element(by.id('registerButton')).click();

      // Not registered message should be displayed.
      expect(element(by.id('sheepnameInUse')).isDisplayed()).toBeTruthy();
    });

  });
});

@adokania Did you have any luck getting it to work?

[adokania]

No luck , I ran the following command with the above mentioned conf file and got the connection refused error -

docker run --rm -v /Users/Adity/Kensho/zentreefish/projects/zentreefish/app/tests:/project mrsheepuk/protractor protractor ./project/protractor_tests/utils/protractor.conf.js

I get the following error:

[adokania]

On removing the seleniumAddress param from the conf file I get past the connection refused error but I constantly see that the chrome browser exited abnormally. Same error when i originally created the issue.

[mrsheepuk]

What version of docker are you using? I'm wondering if it's something environmental...

[adokania]

Docker version 1.12.2, build bb80604,

[Pablodotnet]

I'm having the same issue :(

[michelle-chiang]

@mrsheepuk Could you update Protractor to the newest version, 5.1.2?

[gauravpm]

i am also facing same issue. I am using protractor 5.1.2. Can you please help me. Below is my config file exports.config = { seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub', specs: ['functional/home-functional-test.js', 'functional/portfolio-functional-test.js', 'functional/portfolio-functional-test.js','functional/volatility-trend-functional-test.js'], framework: 'jasmine2', onPrepare: function() { var jasmineReporters = require('jasmine-reporters'); jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new jasmineReporters.JUnitXmlReporter({ consolidateAll: true, savePath: '', filePrefix: 'sqdashboard-E2E' })); }, capabilities: { 'browserName': 'chrome', 'chromeOptions': { 'args': ['no-sandbox'] } } };

[y4nnick]

Any update on this? Otherwise this repo seems useless. :/
