Can I set a longer timeout for protractor to connect to selenium driver? - selenium

Running my protractor tests remotely (jenkins) leads to timeout error sometimes. That is not deterministic.

However when I run the tests locally in my mac there is no problem and the tests run perfectly.
I have tried to start the selenium servers manually in the remote machines and I have realised that sometimes it works immediately and sometimes I have to wait up to one minute.
My question is: Is there any way to tell protractor to wait longer for the webdriver to connect?
Environment details
Machine: Red Hat 4.4.7-11
Protractor version: 1.8.0
Selenium Server Standalone: 2.45.0

You can specify it by using driver.wait function.
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var protractor = require('protractor');
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().usingServer("seleniumAddress").build();
var browser = protractor.wrapDriver(driver);
browser.driver.wait(driver.getWindowHandle(), 5000, 'Server should start within 5 seconds');
References :
http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api?view=webdriver.WebDriver.prototype.wait
http://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api?view=webdriver.WebDriver.prototype.getWindowHandle

Yes, and it should solve your issue. Use the seleniumServerStartTimeout option in your protractor.conf.js file to bump up the timeout from the default 30 seconds to something longer like 90 seconds:
exports.config = {
seleniumServerStartTimeout: 90000
};
I experienced the same issue on a CentOS 7 VM. For whatever reason the selenium server seems to take wildly different amounts of time to start up each time, and can sometimes exceed the default timeout.

Unspecified Protractor error at the end of a test run

I have upgraded to Protractor 6.0.0 and Jasmine 3.3.1, and had to redo all my tests to run asynchronously.
When my Protractor test finishes running, I have an unexplained error at the end. No tests fail, but the process seems to abort irregularly. I am running against Chrome 73 in the latest webdriver, where I had to specifically downgrade to Chrome 73 webdriver because 74 is still in Beta.
Here is a snapshot of a test run:

√ should check second thing
√ should display another thing

There is no additional error message, the only other SO post I found that had the same error message also had an additional promise rejected error afterwards.
How can I debug / troubleshoot what is causing this error?
I figured it out - there were some calls to browser.wait that did not have an await before them.
One of these was causing a synchronization error which led to that unspecified state management error at the end of the test run.
For anyone else experiencing WebDriver state errors after you upgrade from the control flow to the async flow - be sure to put await calls in front of all Protractor browser interaction calls. The one I had missed was browser.wait but it could be any other call to Protractor that causes this issue

Microsoft Edge not visiting URL when being run by Protractor script

I am building a set of Protractor scripts to evaluate the performance of a web app.
A month ago, the tests were running in both Edge and Chrome. I stepped away from the project for two weeks, and performed a Windows OS update on my return. Since then, when running the test in Microsoft Edge, I get alternating results between 1) an unknown error where the browser never even launches (I will post the cmd output from this result below), and 2) having the Edge browser open but not visiting the base URL it is supposed to (where I am getting a timeout error after being on the Edge homescreen for 10 seconds). I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to run the script before the Windows update, so I am not certain if that is the cause, but I think it is likely. The tests continue to run correctly when operating in Chrome.
I have tried reinstalling Edge's webdriver several times and have chekced its path. I would like to roll back Windows but think this would be a hassle with our IT department, so I am wondering if anyone has found a different solution to this problem?
This is the error when the browser fails to open:

I wound up pushing Windows to version 1703 (Build 15063.540), which was easier to get approved than rolling back.
After reinstalling the appropriate WebDriver, everything is working properly with Edge. Still unclear what was causing the problem, but this seems to have worked around it.
I'm the PM for WebDriver at Microsoft. It sounds like you need to get the proper version for your build of Windows.
You can find all the releases of WebDriver here. To see what build of Windows you have just hit [Windows Key] + [R] and type "winver".

Webdriver gives Timeout Exception running Codeception acceptance test

I have a long pipeline of Codeception acceptance test set up in Jenkins. Safari regularly throws an \ScriptTimeoutException when starting a test (every 14 - 23 browser start throws this error). This does not happen on the same test each time the pipeline is started.
The exception prints as:
[Facebook\Webdriver\Exception\ScriptTimeoutException]
Timed out awaiting response to command "maximizeWindow" after 30002 ms
(WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 30.01 seconds
Currently, the safari environmental variable in acceptance.suite.yml looks like this:
safari:
modules:
config:
WebDriver:
browser: 'safari'
window_size: 'maximize'
clear_cookies: true
restart: true
options:
cleanSession: true
I've tried setting an exact window size and removing the window_size option entirely. There did not appear to be any difference in the occurrence rate of this error.
Using Selenium server 2.53.1. Safari version 9.1.2. Jenkins version 2.16
Any ideas on who to reduce the number of times this is happening?
I have also got this error:
1) ListingRaceTestCest: Test events
Test tests/acceptance/ListingRaceTestCest.php:Login
[Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\TimeOutException]
Scenario Steps:
$I->waitForElementVisible(".rule-row-date",15)
$I->click("button#add-rule-btn")
$I->see("Configure payment rules")
$I->waitForElementVisible("#side-menu",15)
$I->pauseExecution()
$I->click("table#races-table tbody tr:first-child td:last-child button")
I have found a solution now and its working for me, try this hope it works for you!
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); //300 seconds = 5 minutes
This is setting for dynamic time you can change it accordingly. Codeception provides the execution time facility approx 5 min then it will give timeout error.
This situation I got and now found the solution.

Selenium Exception with no stack trace (grunt / protractor / selenium)

I try to run grunt test, and Selenium exits without closing the browser. I am unable to see where the exception is coming from.

Jenkins return job status SUCCESS when the test failed

I am automating my protractor integration tests using Jenkins. When some of the tests fails Jenkins weeps saying that the result was successful. This is my output:
24 specs, 1 failure

Shutting down selenium standalone server.

I don't know if my problem is selenium or grunt related.
Does any one know what can be the problem? Thanks in advance!
Looks like this Jenkins job is not set up properly, I suggest you review your Job Configuration.
After some research I found out the problem.
I am using "grunt-protractor-runner" library. It has an option call "keepAlive" and it was set to true. This caused the process to continue even is something was wrong and not passing the error code to grunt.
After set it up to false everything behave as expected.
