webdriver error: TypeError options must be an object

[letsmakesense]

Thanks for your tool, first of all. It might be very helpful.

But when I tried to reproduce your example in the video on Ubuntu 14.04, I got the error: "There was a webdriver error: TypeError options must be an object".

Output of 'webdriver-manager' on startup:

After opening the Protractor API page with elementor, duplicating the tab and activation 'Protractor' as a event listener, elementor produces the following output when selecting elements:
"> Testing locators { byCss:
{ nodeName: 'div',
class: 'container protractor-container ng-scope',
'ng-view': '',
autoscroll: 'true' } }
Testing locator list [ { name: 'byCss',
locator: 'by.css('div.container.protractor-container')',
countExpression: 'element.all(by.css('div.container.protractor-container')).count()' },
{ name: 'byCss',
locator: 'by.css('.container.protractor-container')',
countExpression: 'element.all(by.css('.container.protractor-container')).count()' },
{ name: 'byCss',
locator: 'by.css('div[ng-view=""]')',
countExpression: 'element.all(by.css('div[ng-view=""]')).count()' },
{ name: 'byCss',
locator: 'by.css('div[autoscroll="true"]')',
countExpression: 'element.all(by.css('div[autoscroll="true"]')).count()' } ]
Sending locator results { 'by.css('div.container.protractor-container')': 'There was a webdriver error: TypeError options must be an object',
'by.css('.container.protractor-container')': 'There was a webdriver error: TypeError options must be an object',
'by.css('div[ng-view=""]')': 'There was a webdriver error: TypeError options must be an object',
'by.css('div[autoscroll="true"]')': 'There was a webdriver error: TypeError options must be an object' }
"

What went wrong?

Let me take a look. Which element did you click on? Did you go to http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api?

Are both tabs pointing to the same url and are you using the second tab to open the developer tools?

Let me take a look. Which element did you click on? Did you go to
http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api?

This is my output after starting elementor:

pedro@lms-dev:~$ elementor http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api
util.puts: Use console.log instead
Type to see a list of locator strategies.
util.puts: Use console.log instead
Use the list helper function to find elements by strategy:
util.puts: Use console.log instead
e.g., list(by.binding('')) gets all bindings.
util.puts: Use console.log instead

util.puts: Use console.log instead
IMPORTANT:
util.puts: Use console.log instead
The element explorer will not work when the dev tools window is open on
the first tab of the launched chrome browser. To use the dev tools
duplicate the first tab and inspect on the second tab.
util.puts: Use console.log instead

util.puts: Use console.log instead
Getting page at: http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api
Listening on port 13000

The API page opens, I duplicate the tab, open the developer tools on the
second tab, select Protractor under 'Event Listeners', click an element in
the source tree and get the following result:

Are both tabs pointing to the same url and are you using the second tab
to open the developer tools?

Yes

I tried to reproduce the issue using my Linux box. This is my setup:

• protractor 1.5.0 (for the webdriver manager)
• elementor@0.0.10 (npm list -g | grep elementor)
• node v0.10.33
• Ubuntu 14.04

Can you check your node / protractor version? I will try to reproduce it with other versions.

My node version is 0.11.14. All other software is identical.

I was able to reproduce it with 0.11.14. I will try to fix it tonight.

@letsmakesense Thank you for reporting the issue. Please update to 0.1.0.

[letsmakesense]

Works with 0.1.0. Thanks a lot. The tool is a HUGE progress in writing e2e
tests with Protractor
