E2E testing with protractor on Windows 8.1 64-bit

Question

I have set up protractor on my machine by installing protractor globally via npm. Then I have updated my webdriver manager and started it.

Now running protractor protractor-e2e.conf.js works as it should when I have

capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'firefox'
},

but for

capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome'
},

I get just a popup telling me:

An administrator has installed Google Chrome on this system, and it is available for all users. The system-level Google Chrome will replace your user-level installation now.

How can I resolve this? Should I reinstall Google Chrome? I really would like to test Chrome rather then Firefox...

Answer 1

I have uninstalled chrome, deleted both directories in

c:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\
c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\

And it works nicely now.
