Warn user for conflicting selenium arguments in the config file

[skjoshi]

I am new to the protractor. I do not wan to launch webdriver-manager from the command line before running my tests. I want my script to launch the webdriver-manager. I tried setting the '.jar' path inside my config file. But it does not help.
Here is my config file-

exports.config = {
    seleniumServerJar: '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/protractor/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar',
    seleniumPort: '4445',
    seleniumArgs: '-help',
    seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4445/wd/hub',
    specs: ['spec.js'],
    capabilities: {
        'browserName': 'chrome'
    }
}

Here is the error I am getting when I am trying to run-

Using the selenium server at http://localhost:4445/wd/hub

How can I launch webdriver-manager from my script or config file.

You should not specify both seleniumServerJar and seleniumAddress. Remove the seleniumAddress specification. Please see https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/referenceConf.js for more details.

Closing as this is a question.

[skjoshi]

I appreciate your response. It worked fine after removing that line.

@juliemr I just ran into this as well. Would it be possible to log a warning to the console if you detect both properties are being used in the config?
