I am trying to run Protractor tests on centOS with headless chrome. When I run the tests with "protractor conf.js" the system throws strange error:

[root@stage conf]# protractor conf.js

I believe that this might be CentosOS issue with chrome. If i would be you - i would check if chrome is actually installed normally: https://www.tecmint.com/install-google-chrome-on-redhat-centos-fedora-linux/

And also you might consider using Chromium instead Chrome, since i heard that Chrome might not work well on CentosOS: https://www.hiroom2.com/2017/08/11/centos-7-chromium-en/ Chromedriver would be same for Chrome and Chromium

Another option might be to run Chrome in Docker Container
