not able to set firefox profile with directConnect enabled

[geedubey]

I am using example available at below URL Demo-samples to set Firefox profile (for few security and Proxy)
https://github.com/juliemr/protractor-demo/tree/master/howtos/setFirefoxProfile

it is working fine when I am invoking firefox through selenium server, but i am getting below error when i am trying to use Firefox directly using directConnect.

Error: browserName (undefined) is not supported with directConnect.

further directConnect is working fine without firefox profile setting.

please suggest any solution to me.

Are you using protractor 1.6 or above? If so, you need to change your conf.js and helper like what I did here: juliemr/protractor-demo#15

@hankduan , i am using protractor 1.7 , I did changes as per repository , i am not getting any error now but instead of FIREFOX , CHROME is getting invoked , any Suggestion.

[hankduan]

Can you do --version on protractor? And are you running the demo as is (with the PR patch)?

[geedubey]

Protractor version --
D:\Xperiments\Protractor>protractor --version
Version 1.7.0

here is Conf.js used , Remeber " I am trying directConnect feature and firefox profile ".

var helper = require('./helper.js');
exports.config = {
directConnect: true,
firefoxPath : 'D:\Xperiments\Protractor\Firefox34\firefox.exe',
specs: [
'spec.js'
],
getMultiCapabilities: helper.getFirefoxProfile()
};

here is helper.js used

var q = require('q');
var FirefoxProfile = require('firefox-profile');

exports.getFirefoxProfile = function() {
var deferred = q.defer();

var firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.setPreference('browser.newtab.url', 'https://www.angularjs.org');
firefoxProfile.setPreference('security.warn_entering_secure', true);
firefoxProfile.encoded(function(encodedProfile) {
var multiCapabilities = [{
browserName: 'firefox',
firefox_profile : encodedProfile
}];
deferred.resolve(multiCapabilities);
});

return deferred.promise;
};

waiting for suggestion.........

[hankduan]

You didn't copy the demo conf properly. Should be

getMultiCapabilities: helper.getFirefoxProfile

i.e. getMultiCapabilities takes a function that returns a promise, not a promise

Sorry my mistake , now firfox is getting launched but facing new issue . now firefox profile is not effective ie. opening new tab is not opening https://www.angularjs.org as it should after setting profile with firefoxProfile.setPreference('browser.newtab.url', 'https://www.angularjs.org');
I am on win 7 , Firefox 34.
any help??

Please make sure to install
npm install protractor

Update web driver manager
webdriver-manager update

Run this command from your root
node node_modules\protractor\bin\webdriver-manager update

Now start up a server with:
webdriver-manager start

Also make sure that your protractor.conf.js file has below line
// baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4200/',
seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/',

Now run your e2e tests on different browsers
ng e2e
