title: Protractor test in IE
body: <p>I'm trying to just run the example test that is included in protractor on internet explorer and not getting very far :(</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-js lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>// An example configuration file.
  exports.config = {
    directConnect: true,
  
    // Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
    capabilities: {
      'browserName': 'chrome'
    },
  
    // Framework to use. Jasmine is recommended.
    framework: 'jasmine',
  
    // Spec patterns are relative to the current working directory when
    // protractor is called.
    specs: ['example_spec.js'],

      defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
    }
  };</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>I've tried the obvious changing browser name to 'internet explorer' and 'version': 11 and I have commented out directConnect (as it was complaining about this)</p>
  
  <p>The error I get is...</p>

  <p>I have downloaded the latest IE driver and put it here...</p>

  <p>and still no joy :(</p>
  
  <p>can someone tell me if it is actually possible to run protractor tests in IE or am I just wasting my time?</p>
  
  <p>I know you are going to ask why would I want to?? simple answer, I have to, my client uses IE and only IE and I need to be sure that my app is good in IE instead of chrome like what the rest of the world is using :)</p>
