TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'parse'

Bumping to protractor 2.5.0 this afternoon has caused our Travis builds to fail.

$ ./node_modules/.bin/protractor

                    throw e;

These run locally though! Very strange. We have Jenkins tests that run for internal projects that are experiencing the same failure. It may be something to do with Linux? I'm not quite sure as this is a very recent development.

Are you sharding in Jenkins but not locally? That was our issue; still haven't figured out why.

[Droogans]

We run one instance of webdriver in the link to Travis above. This is also the case in our Jenkins tests.

[brandenbyers]

Are you using at least node 0.12? According to issue #2588, that is what is causing this error.

[Droogans]

Ah, thanks. I will close this issue then.
