Against IE10 browser, base url is not getting set

[pareshmahajan]

Here is the snippet of my protractor.conf.js

seleniumArgs: ['-Dwebdriver.ie.driver=node_modules/protractor/selenium/IEDriverServer.exe'],

 capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'internet explorer',
    'version':'10',
  },

  baseUrl: 'http://10.37.1.97:60',

 // ----- Options to be passed to minijasminenode -----
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    // onComplete will be called just before the driver quits.
    onComplete: null,
    // If true, display spec names.
    isVerbose: false,
    // If true, print colors to the terminal.
    showColors: true,
    // If true, include stack traces in failures.
    includeStackTrace: true,
    // Default time to wait in ms before a test fails.
    defaultTimeoutInterval: 10000
  }

My script works well for chrome browser. I mean, it opens the browser, sets the base url correctly and do as expected.

However, when I execute the same script against IE10 browser, it opens the IE10(maximized zoom level 100%),
it launches the browser, webdriver sets the url like http://localhost:41276/

and then sets the url to 'about:blank' like:

I expect my baseURL should be set instead.

Any further pointers here will be appreciated.

Here is the stracktrace that I am getting on the cmd:

Which version of Protractor are you using? From your stack trace, I don't think it's a newer one.

[pareshmahajan]

Hi Julie,
Thanks for your reply.

Yes, my protractor version was old, I updated to latest (0.20.1), still getting the same error.

To add it to my above query, I will give you more information:
I am using 'astrolabe' along with protractor.

Here is one of the page definition:

---

var Page = require('astrolabe').Page;

module.exports = Page.create({

url: { value: '/#/servicePlans' }

});

---

Issue 1) If I run script against chrome, it works correctly by picking up baseUrl from protractor.conf.js and append the '/#/servicePlans' to it and everything is fine then.

When I switch to IE, I am experiencing above issue.
Does astrolabe' intervening with IE URL set?

Issue 2)
I added following parameters in protractor.conf.js
chromeOnly: false,
seleniumServerJar: '../node_modules/protractor/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar',

When used selenium standalone 2.40.0 jar, it was giving me following error even for chrome:

---

D:\AmFamLCT\LctWebApp>grunt test:e2e
Running "connect:testserver" (connect) task
Started connect web server on 127.0.0.1:9999.

Running "protractor:singlerun" (protractor) task

---

PID: 6924 (capability: chrome #1)

Starting selenium standalone server...

So I went back to selenium 2.39.0 to get out of this issue.

Do you have any link/document that compromise of detailed steps about 'running protractor against IE10?

[pareshmahajan]

Finally, got the solution...
set the ignoreProtectedModeSettings :true in protractor.conf.js

Also on browser side, set all zone's security to default level first and then select Custom level >Scripting>Active scripting:Select 'Enable'.. repeat this for all 4 zones of IE

Hi Paresh,

i started to use astrolabe, and trying to run scripts on IE, facing similiar issues.
If possible can you paste your working conf.js file?

Appreciate your help.
Mahesh

[pareshmahajan]

Hi Mahesh,
Solution is already given in my last reply. Please follow the same.
Pasting capabilities section from 'protractor.conf.js' again for your reference:
capabilities: {
browserName: 'internetexplorer',
ignoreProtectedModeSettings: true
},

Hi Paresh,

Thanks for the response.
But how did you mention the IEdriver details in conf.js file.

Thanks,
Mahesh

[pareshmahajan]

in 'protractor.conf.js
add this:
seleniumArgs: ['-Dwebdriver.ie.driver=node_modules/protractor/selenium/IEDriverServer.exe']

Hope this answers your question

I have the same issue but I can't get to work.

[aieng09]

I get the following error message: I can't get it to work. I get the following error message

[pmahajan-ee]

Hi,
I can see ignoreProtectedModeSetting = false
set it to true instead.
