An example VSTS Build Definition with Protractor and Grunt

Let protractor conf call selenium server directly:

'use strict';

exports.config = {
    framework: 'jasmine',
    // seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
    seleniumServerJar: '../node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-3.12.0.jar',
    specs: ['spec.js']
}

Gruntfile:

module.exports = function(grunt) {

    grunt.initConfig({
        protractor: {
            options: {
                configFile: 'tests/conf.js',
                noColor: false,
                args: {

                }
            },
            e2e: {
                options: {
                    keepAlive: false
                }
            },
            continuous: {
                options: {
                    keepAlive: true
                }
            }
        },

        watch: {
            options: {
                livereload: true
            },
            protractor: {
                files: ['tests/*.js'],
                tasks: ['protractor:continuous']
            }
        },

        run: {
            mock_server: {
                options: {
                    wait: false
                },
                args: []
                // args: ['app/mockApi/apiserver.js']
            }
        },

        connect: {
            options: {
                port: 9000,
                hostname: 'localhost'
            },
            livereload: {
                options: {
                    livereload: 35729,
                    open: true,
                    base: ['']

                }
            },
            test: {
                options: {
                    base: ['./']
                }
            }
        }
    });

    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-protractor-runner');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-run');
