My protractor config file

plugins: [{
path: '../node_modules/protractor-e2e-coverage/index.js'
// outdir: 'reports/e2e/'
}],

I got same problem.
TypeError: Cannot read property 'outdir' of undefined.
TypeError: path must be a string.

And I changed my path:
{
path: 'node_modules/protractor-e2e-coverage',
outdir: 'test/coverage'
}
It was the only way to work.

[gtvforever]

Got the same issue, even i modified the configuration per ayashpatrov 's suggestion.

[filipedumont]

Have anyone figured out this issue so far?

[djom202]

The problem looks like be that the plugin never received the outdir param. If you use the path parameter works or if you use package with the plugin name too works, but never recieved the outdir parameter.

[djom202]

Maybe yo can fix with this code:

CoveragePlugin.prototype.setup` = function(config) {
    var self = this;
    self.outdir = (config.outdir) ? config.outdir : path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'reports/coverage');
    if (config.elements) {
        self.webelements.elements = config.elements;
    }
    browser.manage().logs().getAvailableLogTypes().then(function(res) {
        self.browserLogAvailable = res.indexOf('browser') > -1;
    });
};

Here is a good solution until Markus has time.

Specify in your protractor.conf.js a custom script.

plugins: [
  {
    path: 'scripts/protractor-e2e-coverage-custom.js'
  }
];

In the custom script, set the default value.

const coverage = require('protractor-e2e-coverage');
const path = require('path'); 

coverage.outdir = path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'test/e2e-stats/report');

var coveragePlugin = new coverage.CoveragePlugin();

[tkssharma]

is this working @ConnerAiken ??

[ConnerAiken]

@tkssharma It's been a while since I used this, give it a try!
