I constantly get the following error :

Following is my protractor.conf.js :

NOTE: (I have tried with and w/o directConnect and SeleniumServerJar)

exports.config = {
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  framework: "jasmine2",
  specs: ['../abc/*.js'],
  // Chrome is not allowed to create a SUID sandbox when running inside Docker
  directConnect: 1,
  seleniumServerJar: '/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar',

  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome',
    'chromeOptions': {
      'args': ['no-sandbox', '--test-type=browser']
    }
  }
};

Below are the logs. how this can be solved?. For chrome browser config, seeing "E/launcher - unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed". See logs at the end.

The install script installs an old version of NPM due to the version being stored in the apt repo being old.

This can cause issues with trying to rely of newer features of NPM, such as @ scoping (Such as @angular or @types).

I think a solution could be using a a curl script to pull a newer version.

When I run docker run --rm -v web:/project mrsheepuk/protractor protractor protractor.conf.js in the terminal, the program can't find my protractor.conf.js file, even though it's in the web folder.

$ docker run --rm -v /Users/michelle/Workspace/web:/project mrsheepuk/protractor protractor protractor.conf.js

Hello what license does this project fall under?
It would be great if you could add a license file that clarifies this: https://choosealicense.com/

Thanks!

Split out from #3 - add Firefox browser to this dockerfile (or create a separate dockerfile for protractor-firefox usage).

When I'm trying to run it in a CI environment, I rely on the exit code.

@mrsheepuk Is there a way to make it return the exit code of protractor?

Thanks!
