I am getting issue while executing protractor script in eclipse

Question

I am getting issue while running protractor scripts in eclipse, my spec.js file includes:

describe('angularjs homepage todo list', function() {
  it('should add a todo', function() {

    browser.get('https://angularjs.org');

    element(by.model('todoList.todoText')).sendKeys('write first protractor test');
    element(by.css('[value="add"]')).click();

    var todoList = element.all(by.repeater('todo in todoList.todos'));
    expect(todoList.count()).toEqual(3);
    expect(todoList.get(2).getText()).toEqual('write first protractor test');

    // You wrote your first test, cross it off the list
    todoList.get(2).element(by.css('input')).click();
    var completedAmount = element.all(by.css('.done-true'));
    expect(completedAmount.count()).toEqual(2);
  });
});

and conf.js file includes:

// conf.js
exports.config = {
  framework: 'jasmine',
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  specs: ['spec.js']
}

when I run the conf.js file, chrome browser is opened successfully but after some wait, below error is displayed on console:

@DebanjanB, no issue is not the same as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50642308/org-openqa-selenium-webdriverexception-unknown-error-devtoolsactiveport-file-d, I am trying to execute protractor script in eclipse. for reference please see https://www.protractortest.org/#/tutorial — Harinder, Jun 18 '18 at 08:48
Now I am able to run the scripts on chrome as it was the version compatibility issues. i was running the script on latest chrome v.67, then i downgrade to v.66. — Harinder, Jun 19 '18 at 04:41

I got the same error message because I was using an outdated version of chrome with chromedriver-2.40. The release notes for chromedriver-2.40 say that it supports chrome versions 66-68. Upgrading from the older version to chrome 67 fixed the error for me.
