IEDriver - Page reload detected during async script

[penfold]

The same config and scripts work okay with Chrome & Firefox but when using IE, I get the following failure...

Selenium output:

Do you have any suggestions where I can start looking for a solution?

I'm using Protractor 0.12.0. The latest Selenium and IEDriver.

Thanks,

A recent commit has various workarounds for this error but now I'm getting....

'Error: Error while running testForAngular: Unable to get browser'

[juliemr]

Should be fixed with 81501c5, which will be pushed out in 0.12.1 shortly.

@juliemr Please can you re-open this issue?

I had already tried your latest commits, which were giving the message...

'Error: Error while running testForAngular: Unable to get browser'

I did also try 0.12.1 (and the latest files from master) but I'm still getting the same issue.

Could it caused by routing? On navigation to the root url of my app, if the user is not logged in an authentication directive will redirect to the login url. Is protractor trying to run an async script that then gets interrupted by a route change?

Snippet of config...

baseUrl: 'http://csdev.cascaid.co.uk'

Example test:

describe('Simple tests', function () {
    it(' should navigate to home page', function () {
        browser.get('/');
    });
});

I run into this problem as well and wrote up issue #251 .

[juliemr]

Looks like this issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12694001/selenium-server-error-unable-to-get-browser

Can you try the solutions listed there?

[penfold]

You are spot on - our corporate GP was disabling Protected Mode on Intranet Zone.

The issue that I've now got is #132. So, I'll try the workaround and see how I get on.

Thanks.

You can also configure IEDriver to ignore protected mode settings:
Set "ignoreProtectedModeSettings" desired capabilities to "true"
