Internet Explorer Protractor

I am trying to run Internet Explorer 11 under Protractor to complete the test suite that I have for a new AngularJS project.

I work under Windows 7 - 64 Bit and downloaded and installed Selenium IEDriverServer.exe for 64 bits.

When I go to start Protractor and run the scripts, Internet Explorer comes up and translates to the page just fine, but when the script sends the keys to the input field, it is very slow, about 15 seconds between keystrokes. And Selenium does not show any exception exceptions.

Has anyone seen this behavior before and found a solution?

thanks

This is a known bug or “problem” (but not a bug in the IEDriver):

http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=3072 (IE10 links, but the point and the solution are equally important)

This is explained in the Selenium tracker, but a workaround would be to use the 32-bit version of the driver. Actually, you do not get “a lot” from using the explicit 64-bit version.

I would also say that you may have additional problems with IE11. Selenium does not yet support IE11.

https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=6437#c7 (among other questions)

Probably, in the long run, you better lower the rating to IE10 and use a 32-bit driver.
