The following are the supported browsers / drivers based on running the Protractor test suite. Since the test suite checks only firefox and chrome, these are the only browsers reported.
| selenium standalone | firefox | chromedriver | chrome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.53.1 | 47.0.1 | 2.26 | 54 |
| selenium standalone | firefox 47.0.1 | firefox 49.0.1 |
|---|---|---|
| 2.53.1 | pass | fail |
| 3.0.0 | fail | fail |
There are a couple cases where Protractor launches downloaded binaries (from webdriver-manager) without specifying which version to use:
- local driver providers - when no
seleniumAddress,directConnect, saucelabs or browser stack configuration is set - direct connect - when setting
directConnectto true
Protractor knows which downloaded binaries to use based on the
update-config.json. The update-config.json is written during the update
command and provides the path to the current downloaded version and a list of
all the binaries previously downloaded.
During the launch of either local driver provider or direct connect, Protractor will launch the last downloaded binary.
