Cannot find selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar

[arnoldsandoval]

I was following along and was getting the following error with Protractor 4.0.9

[09:27:36] E/local - Error message: No selenium server jar found at the specified location (/Users/username/Desktop/project/node_modules/protractor/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar). Check that the version number is up to date.

The fix for me was to do the following:

1. run npm install -g protractor
2. run webdriver-manager update
3. run webdriver-manager start this will go ahead and start the selenium server
4. in e2e-tests/protractor.conf.js replace seleniumServerJar: '../node_modules/protractor/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar', with seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',

and you should be good to go. Not sure if youre planning on finishing this @rwillmer, but I sure hope you do. I like the format and writing!
