I'm working to get Travis CI to run Protractor tests using Sauce Labs. The tunneling works fine, and my Express server clearly starts and stays up at http://localhost:9000, but my Protractor tests quickly fail with the error Error: Angular could not be found on the page http://localhost:9000/ : retries looking for angular exceeded. All the suggestions on the Internet usually involve not using Angular 1.0 (using 1.3), extending time outs (doing that), or forcing Protractor to look at <html> for the ng-app directive (doing that). I'm out of ideas.
Relevant config:
exports.config = {
sauceUser: process.env.SAUCE_USERNAME,
sauceKey: process.env.SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY,
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:9000',
specs: ['e2e/**/*.spec.js'],
framework: 'jasmine',
maxSessions: 1,
allScriptsTimeout: 30000,
rootElement: 'html',
multiCapabilities: [
{'browserName': 'chrome'},
{'browserName': 'firefox'},
{'name': 'diplomacy'},
{'tunnel-identifier': process.env.TRAVIS_JOB_NUMBER ? process.env.TRAVIS_JOB_NUMBER : null},
{'build': process.env.TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER ? process.env.TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER : null}
],
jasmineNodeOpts: {
showColors: true,
defaultTimeoutInterval: 360000,
includeStackTrace: true
}
}
'use strict';
describe('Home page', function() {
var page;
beforeEach(function() {
browser.get(browser.baseUrl);
});
it('should pass', function() {
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
});
Go here for the complete log. The highlights:

FWIW, I eventually got everything working correctly. There is no 'one fix' I made so I can't really clarify the solution easily. The following files are from my repository with which I set up continuous integration.
