Recently my chrome browser updated to Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit). Therefore, my existing protractor test is not working with the current version of chrome. The error message is

Failed: unknown error: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'String' in false (Session info: chrome=58.0.3029.96) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.29.461591 (62ebf098771772160f391d75e589dc567915b233),platform=Windows NT 6.3.9600 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 18 milliseconds Build info: version: '3.4.0', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown' System info: host: 'WIN-DA72NJNI5DP', ip: '172.16.230.61', os.name: 'Windows Server 2012 R2', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '6.3', java.version: '1.8.0_131' Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver Capabilities [{applicationCacheEnabled=false, rotatable=false, mobileEmulationEnabled=false, networkConnectionEnabled=false, chrome={chromedriverVersion=2.29.461591 (62ebf098771772160f391d75e589dc567915b233), userDataDir=C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\scoped_dir7512_11086}, takesHeapSnapshot=true, pageLoadStrategy=normal, databaseEnabled=false, handlesAlerts=true, hasTouchScreen=false, version=58.0.3029.96, platform=WIN8_1, browserConnectionEnabled=false, nativeEvents=true, acceptSslCerts=true, locationContextEnabled=true, webStorageEnabled=true, browserName=chrome, takesScreenshot=true, javascriptEnabled=true, cssSelectorsEnabled=true, unexpectedAlertBehaviour=}]

Even i have updated my chrome driver version to 2.28 and then 2.29. but it didn't work. Here is the more information about my current testing environment :

  • chrome: 58.0.3029.81
  • protractor: 5.1.1
  • webdriver-manager: 12.0.4
  • chrome driver: 2.29
  • nodejs: 6.9.4

What OS are you on? I have this same problem (though different errors) on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine, but not on my Mac. The only thing that worked for me is to revert to chrome v55, and chromedriver 2.25 (2.26 & 2.27 kinda work but have a bunch of issues). - Brine
Oh, after scrolling, I see you're on Windows NT. I've seen others report similar issues on Windows and Linux... seems to work fine on Mac. I've been struggling with this all week... seems like a chromedriver issue. - Brine

Your chromedriver is outdated. You need chromedriver 2.29 for Chrome versions 56-58.

Make sure you have the latest webdriver-manager:

npm install webdriver-manager

Ad then execute the update:

webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 2.29

Worked for me.

Try to update chrome driver by using below commands ,

webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome=2.28

webdriver-manager start --versions.chrome=2.28

as you are using incompatible version of browser and driver
