Angular2 - npm install didn't find namespace webdriver
Update 21-12-2016: This is fixed as of protractor 4.0.14.
protractor has a dependency on selenium-webdriver:
'@types/selenium-webdriver': '~2.53.31',
unfortunately, https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/13382 was merged yesterday and released as 2.53.37.
Temporary fix : manually installing version 2.53.36 fixes the problem until protractor releases a new version incorporating the changes from the selenium-webdriver package.
npm install @types/selenium-webdriver@2.53.36 --save-devand remove the dev dependency as soon as protractor is fixed.
There is a PR pending in : https://github.com/angular/protractor/pull/3848
For those still experiencing issues after upgrading to Protractor 4.0.14, I found that my classes that referenced webdriver now required an import statement:
import webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');Hope that helps anyone with the same issue.
