Question

I try to start tests by webdriver-manager and protractor.
Verify versions:
Google Chrome 73.0.3683.86
ChromeDriver 73.0.3683.68
start webdriver-manager webdriver-manager start
and start protractor
I got error by protractor

Answer 1

In your chromeOptions, can you try adding --no-sandbox and --disable-dev-shm-usage and then try running the tests . Also try downgrading the browser version to see if the code is working as expected.
"chromeOptions": {
"args": ['--no-sandbox','--disable-dev-shm-usage'],

Answer 2

Remove seleniumAddress: fomr your config and add the below one.
exports.config = {
directConnect: true,
}
When you add dirctConnect=true you don't need to start the webdriver separately.
Hope it help you

Answer 3

Please make sure you have
127.0.0.1 localhost
in your /etc/hosts file.
To check it, you should go to the terminal and run
sudo vi /etc/hosts
type your user password and paste
127.0.0.1 localhost
to an empty row.
Additionally, please make sure you have ChromeDriver -or the driver of the browser you intend to use- is installed and your program knows the path of ChromeDriver.
You can follow the steps explained here https://www.browserstack.com/guide/run-selenium-tests-using-selenium-chromedriver.
