I am trying to integrate with Sauce Labs to run my project’s Protractor tests, [using CircleCI’s guide as a basis](http://circleci.com/docs/1.0/browser-testing-with-sauce-labs/). This is my circle.yml file:

```
dependencies:
  pre:
    - sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ruby-sass
    - npm install -g bower
    - bower install
  post:
    - wget https://saucelabs.com/downloads/sc-latest-linux.tar.gz
    - tar -xzf sc-latest-linux.tar.gz

test:
  override:
    - cd sc-*-linux && ./bin/sc --user $SAUCE_USERNAME --api-key $SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY --readyfile ~/sauce_is_ready:
        background: true
    # Wait for tunnel to be ready
    - while [! -e ~/sauce_is_ready]; do sleep 1; done
    - grunt test:protractor
        background: true
  post:
    - killall --wait sc # wait for Sauce Connect to close the tunnel

```

[The Sauce Connect proxy clearly works according to build output.](https://circleci.com/gh/spamguy/dipl.io/131) But at that point, it totally stalls. No effort to call grunt test:protractor, no activity whatsoever. After 10 minutes I killed the build.

What am I missing from this configuration to run Protractor tests through the Sauce Labs proxy?
