Protractor test in IE
<p>I'm trying to just run the example test that is included in protractor on internet explorer and not getting very far :(</p>

<p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true">
<div class="snippet-code">
<pre class="snippet-code-js lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>// An example configuration file.
exports.config = {
  directConnect: true,

  // Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome'
  },

  // Framework to use. Jasmine is recommended.
  framework: 'jasmine',

  // Spec patterns are relative to the current working directory when
  // protractor is called.
  specs: ['example_spec.js'],

  // Options to be passed to Jasmine.
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
  }
};</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</p>

<p>I've tried the obvious changing browser name to 'internet explorer' and 'version': 11 and I have commented out directConnect (as it was complaining about this)</p>

<p>The error I get is...</p>

<p><em>WebDriverError: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.ie.driver system property; for more information, see <a href="https://github.com/SeleniumH" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/SeleniumH</a>

<p>I have downloaded the latest IE driver and put it here...</p>

<p>C:\Users\darrenp\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\selenium</p>

<p>and still no joy :(</p>

<p>can someone tell me if it is actually possible to run protractor tests in IE or am I just wasting my time?</p>

<p>I know you are going to ask why would I want to?? simple answer, I have to, my client uses IE and only IE and I need to be sure that my app is good in IE instead of chrome like what the rest of the world is using :)</p>
