I'm not a big expert with protractor. Have you the same problem when you run protractor without eclipse?

Answer 2 · 2016-05-29T15:35:07.000Z

@angelozerr No, it worked with the command prompt.

@hemantkrbajaj I have no time to study the problem today.

Hello there,

This would seem to be an issue for me too. I believe it to be eclipse related. I get the exact same error @hemantkrbajaj mentions above

path.js:8
throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' +
^

I cloned the exact same project to webstorm and I'm able to run the project every time. Let me know if you need any more help on reproducing this? I'm also able to run the project outside of eclipse too from the command line.
