It seems that my config parameter may not be passed down although i pass in seleniumServerJar:

exports.config = {
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:9000/',
  framework: 'jasmine',

  seleniumServerJar: findSeleniumJar(),

  useAllAngular2AppRoots: true
}

The difference is that with current version gulp-protractor’s protractor version and my installed one from package.json is the same. If i upgrade protractor it will complain about the version missmatch and the error comes it cant find chromedriver

Currently gulp-protractor installs Protractor as a dependency instead of a peerDependency (see https://github.com/mllrsohn/gulp-protractor/issues/101). Until that change is made, adding a different version of Protractor as an explicit dependency may have unexpected side effects when gulp-protractor searches for binaries.

I’ll update the version tonight to v3.2.2, but this problem is caused by installing multiple mismatched versions and is not supported. Let me know if you have any additional information and I’ll reopen the issue.
