TypeError: Cannot call method 'get' of undefined

[sesteva]

Hi. I cloned the repo, followed all instructions but when I execute the example suite or the testapp suite, I always get the same error:

TypeError: Cannot call method 'get' of undefined

When I look at the code, it is always referring at ptor instance being undefined.

Context:
The test application is up and running on port 8000 and the angularjs site is accesible as well. Both suites should be able to fulfill its purpose.
Im running on osx, using chrome driver and the standalone selenium server.
I have not made any change on the code.
As an example of the error:

1) test application finding elements in forms should find an element by binding 
  Message:
 TypeError: Cannot call method 'get' of undefined

Are you running the test suite with jasmine-node? I recently switched it to use the protractor binary, so now the test suite should be run with

bin/protractor conf.js

When I use jasmine-node spec, you'll get the errors you see above.

I'll update the README to make this clear!

Actually. I'm using the same command. Bin/protractor. I even installed it
globally and that did not work.

Docs fixed with b15b7bd

[juliemr]

Just saw your update. Can you copy your entire command line?

EDIT (further questions): Can you run any of the example tests? e.g.

protractor/bin example/protractorConf.js
mocha example/onMocha.js
jasmine-node example/onJasmineNodeSpec.js

I've just tried cloning on a clean computer and everything works fine for me.

Julie. I started again and I had no problems whatsoever. These are the steps I followed.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/juliemr/protractor.git protractor
cd protractor
npm install

Execute Example Tests Suite against angular site

cd protractor
bin/protractor example/protractorConf.js

Output: all green...:)

Execute Tests Suite on the testApp

on terminal 1:

cd protractor/testapp
node scripts/web-server.js

The testApp is now accesible at http://localhost:8000/

on terminal 2:

cd protractor
bin/protractor conf.js

Output: all green...:)

Thank you for your help!
