NoSuchWindowError: Browsing context has been discarded with GeckoDriver Firefox and Protractor(Selenium)

Question

I\'m trying to run a simple test script using protractor.

Environment:

Node Version: v9.8.0
Protractor Version: 5.4.1
Angular Version: 1.x
Browser(s)         


        

Answer 1

Was able to fix this issue with below configuration.

- Protractor: v5.4.1 
- Selenium JAR driver: selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar 
- geckodriver:geckodriver-v0.20.0-linux64

Also we need to give path of geckodrvier in protractor conf file.

geckoDriver: 'node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/geckodriver-v0.20.0'

By default webdriver-manager will download latest version of geckodriver which is 0.24.0. But the needed geckdriver is v0.20.0, so I downloaded this manually and placed it inside node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/ directory.

Hope this helps to people facing similar issue.
