Issues with chrome driver

[Pedro Vieira]

Hi Guys,

I'm getting this when trying to run my protractor tests using grunt:

Using ChromeDriver directly...

Using Chromedriver v. 2.21.371461

I'm puzzled, as this was working fine when I ran it (using docker from node:latest) on my machine yesterday. Now I've deployed the container to the server and got this error :/

Node version is 5.10.1, by the way.

Can you guys assist please?

Thank you!

Its common problem with chrome browser.

Uninstall the Chrome driver from Ubuntu machine, then delete the below folder.

/home/<user>/.config/google-chrome

Now, install google chrome. It should work now.

Thanks.
