Specify that protractor should use my manually downloaded chromedriver

Question

For security reasons, selenium aren't allowed to download the chromedriver when running webdriver-manager update

I have manually downloaded the chromedriver (v. 2.27) for protractor and placed it in the node_modules\protractor\node_modules\webdriver-manager\selenium folder:

However when I try to run e2e, "webdriver-manager update" gets called to get the latest chromeDriver from chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com. This happens even though I'm running ng e2e --no-webdriver-update, which causes the run to fail.

How can I specify that I want to use the manually downloaded chromedriver?

Is something like: ng e2e --driver './chromedriver.exe' possible?

Answer 1

Try running the e2e tests without downloading the driver:

ng e2e -wu false

Answer 2

This worked for me:

ng e2e --webdriver-update=false
