Protractor-selenium error message : “gl_surface_egl.cc eglInitialize D3D9 failed with error EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED”

Question

I am using protractor to test a web application.

I have encountered an error message from cmd saying:

ERROR : gl_surface_egl.cc(953) eglInitialize D3

Answer 1

This error message...

ERROR : gl_surface_egl.cc(953) eglInitialize D3D9 failed with error EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED

...implies that there was an error with GPU decoding.
