ElementExplorer does not work after upgrading to 2.0.0

[igorshubovych]

After upgrading to protractor 2.0.0, elementExplorer stopped working

> browser.get('https://angularjs.org')
SyntaxError: evalmachine.<anonymous>:1
rowser.get('https://angularjs.org'

BTW,

elementExplorer in protractor 1.8.0 just hangs forever (ok, i cancelled it after waiting for 5 minutes).

duplicate of #1890. Can you try with node 0.10.30? Please post correspondence in the linked issue.

I'm not sure the first issue is a duple of #1890, but I can't reproduce it. It looks like a problem with how we're trimming the input strings.

@igorshubovych what OS are you running on?

[hankduan]

The first issue is related as well. The problem is fixed here: #1898. Node changed the input for the repl server.

@igorshubovych did you update node when you upgraded protractor?

[igorshubovych]

Yes, it is duplicate of #1890. I see it is working with 0.10.

I'm seeing the same behavior currently in 2.0. I'm running:

Win 8.1 x64
node 0.12.0
npm 2.7.1

I do recall it working normally when Node 0.10.33 was installed. I did upgrade my node version when I upgraded Protractor. Is the best approach at the moment to downgrade node to 10?

Thanks!

[hankduan]

Yes node 0.10.30 or lower

I tried to downgrade to 0.10.29 but still is not working. I get SyntaxError: evalmachine.:1 on my Win machine. I also tried to install an older version of Protractor but I don't know how, since I use npm. My current version is 2.1.0. Also I get this error not using elementExplorer but the debug mode triggered by a browser.pause() method in my code, then I used "repl" to switch to the interactive mode; from there I can do only a browser.get() but can't manage to interact with any element.

Win 8.1 64
node 0.12.4
npm 2.10.1
protractor 2.1.0
