Trouble running Protractor tests using Selenium Server - node.js

Question

Trying to run Protractor/Jasmine/Selenium e2e tests
Trying to run e2e tests using Protractor using the stand alone Selenium server and the chrome driver.
I get the following Selenium server error when I try to run my test using Protractor:
14:08:24.188 WARN - Exception: C:\Users\ARM678\AppData\Local\Temp\jna--1409357381\jna1939368593138214681.dll: %1 is not a valid Win32 application
Here are some details...
I start Selenium stand alone server by executing at the command line as follows (passing in the chrome web driver location):
Command
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.52.0.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="C:\TDAWare\servers\selenium\drivers\chromedriver.exe"
Output (Looks Good So Far):

}
}

it('should bring up a web page', function() {
browser.get('https://internal.tdameritradeu.com/dist');

});
});
Run Test (Everything breaks):
protractor conf.js
I get the following 2 stack traces. The first is from the Selenium Server. The second is from protractor.

My Thoughts...
I believe the root cause of the issue can be found in the Selenium stack trace when it says that
14:08:24.188 WARN - Exception: C:\Users\ARM678\AppData\Local\Temp\jna--1409357381\jna1939368593138214681.dll: %1 is not a valid Win32 application
I think that when it tries to utilize the chromedriver.exe, the chrome driver creates a dll file called jna1939368593138214681.dll and for some reason Windows doesn't like that file [a brilliant piece of deduction seeing that's exactly what the error says]
What I've tried:
I have tried re-downloading the driver to make sure the download
didn't corrupt the zip file
I have tried different versions of the driver.
I have tried unzipping the driver zip file with 2 different
zip utilities (winzip and winrar) to make sure the unzipping process
didn't corrupt anything
Environment
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise
Type: 64 bit
chromedriver version: 2.21 (also tried v.2.16)
node version: 4.2.4
npm version: 3.7.5
Note - Google explicitly states that chrome only has a 32-bit version of the driver and states that 64-bit systems will work with the 32-bit driver and that there is no 64-bit driver available.

Answer 1

Your configuration file is missing capabilities. You will need to tell protractor which driver to use: browserName: 'chrome'.
exports.config = {
framework: 'jasmine',
seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
capabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome'
},
specs: ['tdau-homepage-spec.js'],
allScriptsTimeout: 200000,
jasmineNodeOpts: {
defaultTimeoutInterval: 200000,
showColors: true,
print: function() {}
},
onPrepare: function() {
var SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter');
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({displayStacktrace: 'all'}));
}
}
