Protractor tests on Firefox fail for Angular apps using Zone.JS > 0.7.2

[AlexandrosD]

All protractor tests are failing on Firefox 50+, using Angular v2.4.4, zone.js v0.7.6, Geckodriver 0.13.0, protractor 4.0.13.

The error is the following:
Permission denied to access property "invoke"

This seems similar to angular/protractor#2784 and can be solved only by downgrading Zone.js to v0.7.2.

Could you provide a sample repo?

I have the same issues. Check angular-lab repo.

I have the same issue running Selenium tests on zone.js 0.7.7, FF 51.0.1 and Selenium WebDriver 3.0.1. Same error as reported above

@rolandjitsu @johnstaveley , can you tell me how to reproduce the issue? I use the angular-lab repo, but I don't know how to configure the protractor to run with Firefox 51.

[rolandjitsu]

@JiaLiPassion just use capabilities: {browserName: 'firefox'} I guess. It should work if you have firefox installed. You can also set the binary path to Firefox.

@rolandjitsu , I have tried to add a capabilities {browserName: 'firefox'}, it is not working, the protractor complains can't download firefoxdriver, it seems that webdriver doesnot support firefox 50

[rolandjitsu]

As far as I know, Firefox is supported, it just seems to be an issue with selenium, see angular/protractor#886 (comment)

I'm not using protractor, I'm just running web tests using C# on zone.js 0.7.7, FF 51.0.1 and Selenium WebDriver 3.0.1 but it is the same issue. There is a dynamic component built using Angular 2 it fails to find (the first it tries to find). It fails with the error message above on:

_wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(by));

where by is find the element by id
