While working in current project I encountered an issue, which was not allowing at all my IDE to run anything.
This issue has something to do with the chrome version where in I discovered some traits of protractor which ultimately helps me in understanding how is selenium and protractor are different in their implementation as well as execution.
Problem?

Solution!
Check the webdriver version
npm update -g protractor webdriver-manager update commands to follow
Take Away.
Though protractor supports multiple browsers in different variations like headless, maximize, etc.
But to support the browser with protractor version we need to manually update the version of it.
In-fact, the command npm update -g protractor updates all the coupled libraries of it like jasmine, etc Again, just in case if the dependencies are not compatible with the newly loaded version then they have to be explicitly updated by the npm update command mentioning the specific version of the dependency like jasmine, etc.
This is a drawback of using protractor in such cases when you are dealing with multiple browsers or different versions of same browser.
