Please update Selenium Web Driver to 3.x due to error in reading Mocha BDD tests

[jmcollin78]

Hi there,

Protractor last stable release embed Selenium 2.53.x release which got a serious bug preventing BDD tests to run (SeleniumHQ/selenium#2127). Please upgrade to selenium 3.x release.

Bug report

• Node Version: v7.4.0
• Protractor Version: 4.0.14
• Angular Version: not relevant
• Browser(s): not relevant
• Operating System and Version not relevant
• Your protractor configuration file:

exports.config = {
    framework: 'mocha',
    // directConnect : true,
    seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
    specs: ['../../../*/tests/protractor/**/*.js'],
    baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3001',
    getPageTimeout: 10000,
    allScriptsTimeout: 10000,
    mochaOpts: {
        timeout: 30000, // ms,
        reporter: 'spec',
        slow: '2000', // a test is slow if it takes over 1 sec to accomplish
        delay: true
    }
}

• A relevant example test:

describe('Show Selenium 2.53 BDD issue :', function () {
	it('should pass', function(){
		expect(true).to.be.true;
	});
        it.skip('not be run', function () {
            expect(true).to.be.false;
        });
   });

• Output from running the test
