Tests on chrome doesn't work when an instance is already open

[ghost]

I'm testing protractor features and when I have an instance of chrome open, for example, I'm searching something on google and working with protractor tests and I wanna run the tests on chrome the google chrome opens a new tab with "data:," on address bar and the tests doesn't work. follow the log:

[chrome #2] PID: 6868
[chrome #2] Specs: C:...\default_spec.js
[chrome #2]
[chrome #2] Using the selenium server at http://localhost:4444/wd/hub

@kaahxd The error shouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you have another instance of chrome open already (try with chrome closed and see if it works). Anyway, make sure your selenium server is set up correctly (i.e. does http://localhost:4444/wd/hub resolve for you?).

Please refer to http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/tutorial for help.

Agreed, this looks like an issue with your selenium server. Also try running with the --troubleshoot flag to get more information.
