Running AngularJS Protractor with proxy to https
I get the following error in the command line when trying to run Protractor:
> Fatal error: protractor exited with code: 1
I need to proxy to an https test server. How do I accomplish this? I followed the advice from this Github issue, but I am still getting the above error. Here is my config file:
// A reference configuration file.
exports.config = {
// ----- How to setup Selenium -----
//
// There are three ways to specify how to use Selenium. Specify one of the
// following:
//
// 1. seleniumServerJar - to start Selenium Standalone locally.
// 2. seleniumAddress - to connect to a Selenium server which is already
// running.
// 3. sauceUser/sauceKey - to use remote Selenium servers via SauceLabs.
// The location of the selenium standalone server .jar file.
seleniumServerJar: './selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.35.0.jar',
// The port to start the selenium server on, or null if the server should
// find its own unused port.
seleniumPort: null,
// Chromedriver location is used to help the selenium standalone server
// find chromedriver. This will be passed to the selenium jar as
// the system property webdriver.chrome.driver. If null, selenium will
// attempt to find chromedriver using PATH.
chromeDriver: './selenium/chromedriver',
// Additional command line options to pass to selenium. For example,
// if you need to change the browser timeout, use
// seleniumArgs: ['-browserTimeout=60'],
seleniumArgs: [],
// If sauceUser and sauceKey are specified, seleniumServerJar will be ignored.
// The tests will be run remotely using SauceLabs.
sauceUser: null,
sauceKey: null,

//
// Spec patterns are relative to the location of this config.

'./e2e/*-spec.js'
],

capabilities: {

'httpProxy': 'https://localhost.com:8443/'
}
},
// A base URL for your application under test. Calls to protractor.get()

Answer
According to the WebDriver capabilities documentation, you should use 'hostname:port' as the format for the httpProxy. E.g.:
capabilities: {
browserName: 'firefox',
proxy: {
proxyType: 'manual',
httpProxy: 'localhost:8443',
sslProxy: 'localhost:8888'
}
}
Check your proxy software for the correct port.
This works in Firefox and Chrome.
