Unable to start e2e tesing in angular project

Question

Running e2e testing on my angular project throws.

My chrome version : Version 87.0.4280.141 (Official Build) (x86_64)

I have enabled auto-update in my chrome browser. Seems like the issue occurs after the browser update.

ng e2e

      project: 'e2e/tsconfig.e2e.json'
    });
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({ spec: { displayStacktrace: true } }));
  }
};

Please help.

Finally, I fixed the issue by editing node_modules/webdriver-manager/built/lib/files/file_manager.js

Update file_manager.js #line-no-166 fileUrl.url = fileUrl.url.replace(/_m1/, '');
