Here is the code for my protractor.conf.js file. I made some changes in config after error, Like i added selenium address and removed acceptSslCerts=true, trustAllSSLCertificates=true but after that i am getting the same error.
/*global jasmine */
var SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter');
exports.config = {
allScriptsTimeout: 11000,
specs: [
'./e2e/**/*.e2e-spec.ts'
],
capabilities: {
browserName: 'safari',
name: 'safari-tests',
directConnect: false,
seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub'
},
maxInstances: 1,
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/',
framework: 'jasmine',
jasmineNodeOpts: {
showColors: true,
defaultTimeoutInterval: 300000,
isVerbose : true,
includeStackTrace : true,
print: function() {}
},
useAllAngular2AppRoots: true,
onPrepare: function() {
require('ts-node').register({
project: 'e2e'
});
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter());
browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;
}
};
Does it require some other configuration to run it on Safari.

Safari for Windows was discontinued years ago and installing the old Safari 5 exe that's still around won't help you achieve anything useful regarding test automation.
So never download Safari from other that the official site else chances are you are getting a Trojan in it.
You can only test Safari using a Mac OSX or you can try Sauce Labs / BrowserStack / Testing Bot / other cloud test providers to test in browsers you don't have installed locally.
