Not able to run Angular 2 E2E tests using protractor

Question

I am using Angular 2 and Angular 2 Seed package. I am trying to run my E2E tests. I have followed the steps which are listed on Seed page.

My protractor config looks like this:

const config = {
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:6563/',
  specs: [
    './dist/dev/**/*.e2e-spec.js'
  ],
  framework: 'jasmine',
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    showColors: true,
    isVerbose: false,
    includeStackTrace: false,
  },
  directConnect: true,
  capabilities: {
    browserName: 'chrome'
  },
  onPrepare: function() {
    const SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter');
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({ displayStacktrace: true }));

    browser.ignoreSynchronization = false;
  },
  useAllAngular2AppRoots: true
};

if (process.env.TRAVIS) {
  config.capabilities = {
    browserName: 'firefox'
  };
}

exports.config = config;

I start web driver using npm run webdriver-start on one terminal. I can see selenium server is up and running message:

I can reach http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub from chrome and create a session but when I run E2E test on another terminal, I get following error:

node_modules\selenium-webdriver\http\index.js:365
      onError(new Error(message));

Any pointers which can push me in right direction?

I've also got the issue recently and fixed it by updating protractor and webdriver which version appeared to be very old.
