"Encountered an error message: Unable to retrieve property 'getCapabilities' due to a TypeError

Everything was going smoothly with my tests until I encountered an issue when the browser.getCapabilities(); method was called in the OnComplete function, resulting in an error.

    //The HTMLReport is triggered once all tests are completed
  onComplete: function () {
    var browserName, browserVersion;
    browser.getCapabilities();
    capsPromise.then(function (caps) {
      browserName = caps.get('browserName');
      browserVersion = caps.get('version');
      platform = caps.get('platform');
      var HTMLReport = require('protractor-html-reporter-2');
      testConfig = {
        reportTitle: 'Protractor Test Execution Report',
        outputPath: './reports',
        outputFilename: 'ProtractorTestReport',
        screenshotPath: '..//screenshots',
        testBrowser: browserName,
        browserVersion: browserVersion,
        modifiedSuiteName: false,
        screenshotsOnlyOnFailure: true,
        testPlatform: platform
      };
      new HTMLReport().from('xmlresults.xml', testConfig);
    });

Here is the error from the console:

Answer №1

The code snippet at the beginning of my conf.js file turned out to be the issue. I have no idea how it ended up there as I did not include it myself.

const { browser } = require('protractor');
