Repro steps.

1. Must have an out of date web driver or delete it from node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/. For example, if using Chrome webdriver, delete all chrome* files in this selenium folder.
2. Must be behind a proxy, but without HTTPS_PROXY or https_proxy environment variables set.
3. Using the proxy guide described in the cli wiki, create a proxy.conf.js file to pass to ng e2e.
4. Run ng e2e --proxy-config proxy.conf.js.

If you are behind a proxy and https_proxy is not set, the command will fail after compiling the app. This is because by default, ng e2e will run webdriver-manager update to fetch the right browser drivers, but does not use the proxy config to do so.

The log given by the failure.

Desired functionality.

ng e2e should pass along proxy configuration to webdriver-manager when the --webdriver-update flag is set to true. For webdriver-manager, the flag to use is --proxy.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

The code that calls webdriver-manager is at Line 65 in e2e.ts.

We don't actually have the functionality you are requesting, so this isn't a bug request as much as a feature request.

--proxy-config is a flag inherited by ng e2e from ng serve and meant to be used by webpack-dev-server (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/stories-proxy).

Any updates ?

Hello, any updates with it?

[napstercake]

any update?

[filipesilva]

I have no update on this but would like to mention you can do the update manually with the flags you need to use and then run ng e2e --webdriver-update=false to prevent ng e2e from trying to update webdriver.

still the same :(
