It is possible to set globals from the Protractor config file with the help of params property: exports.config = { // … params: { glob: ‘test’ } // … }; And you can access it in the specs using browser.params.glob. See the reference config file. The params object will be passed directly to the Protractor … Read more
This is something I’ve solved recently. Hope the solution would also apply for your use-case. Prerequisites: mail-listener2 package understanding of the concept of promises Step by step instructions: Install mail-listener2: npm install mail-listener2 –save-dev In your protractor config initialize Mail Listener and make it available globally: onPrepare: function () { var MailListener = require(“mail-listener2”); // … Read more
Once feat(expectedConditions) is in (probably protractor 1.7), you can do: var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions; var e = element(by.id(‘xyz’)); browser.wait(EC.presenceOf(e), 10000); expect(e.isPresent()).toBeTruthy(); Please note though, if you’re working with an Angular app and your test requires these conditional waits, it’s a big red flag for what you’re doing, as protractor should handle waits natively.
The simple answer is that it makes protractor not wait for Angular promises, such as those from $http or $timeout to resolve, which you might want to do if you’re testing behaviour during $http or $timeout (e.g., a “loading” message), or testing non-Angular sites or pages, such as a separate login page. For example, to … Read more
This is a rather common problem in test automation with selenium. Here are the common solutions: make sure the element you want to click is actually visible. Sometimes you need to make extra actions on a page to make the element visible. For example, open up a dropdown for an option to appear or open … Read more
No such thing in Protractor, but we can write our own: select-wrapper.js ‘use strict’; var SelectWrapper = function(selector) { this.webElement = element(selector); }; SelectWrapper.prototype.getOptions = function() { return this.webElement.all(by.tagName(‘option’)); }; SelectWrapper.prototype.getSelectedOptions = function() { return this.webElement.all(by.css(‘option[selected=”selected”]’)); }; SelectWrapper.prototype.selectByValue = function(value) { return this.webElement.all(by.css(‘option[value=”‘ + value + ‘”]’)).click(); }; SelectWrapper.prototype.selectByPartialText = function(text) { return this.webElement.all(by.cssContainingText(‘option’, text)).click(); … Read more
I can currently set download path location Chrome capabilities: { ‘browserName’: ‘chrome’, ‘platform’: ‘ANY’, ‘version’: ‘ANY’, ‘chromeOptions’: { // Get rid of –ignore-certificate yellow warning args: [‘–no-sandbox’, ‘–test-type=browser’], // Set download path and avoid prompting for download even though // this is already the default on Chrome but for completeness prefs: { ‘download’: { ‘prompt_for_download’: … Read more
Another approach is to set browser.ignoreSynchronization = true before browser.get(…). Protractor wouldn’t wait for Angular loaded and you could use usual element(…) syntax. browser.ignoreSynchronization = true; browser.get(‘http://localhost:8000/login.html’); element(by.id(‘username’)).sendKeys(‘Jane’); element(by.id(‘password’)).sendKeys(‘1234’); element(by.id(‘clickme’)).click();
You can check out the angular’s protractor configuration: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/protractor-shared-conf.js You should add it under onPrepare block: onPrepare: function() { /* global angular: false, browser: false, jasmine: false */ // Disable animations so e2e tests run more quickly var disableNgAnimate = function() { angular.module(‘disableNgAnimate’, []).run([‘$animate’, function($animate) { $animate.enabled(false); }]); }; browser.addMockModule(‘disableNgAnimate’, disableNgAnimate);
The reason this is happening is because protractor uses promises. Read https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/control-flow.md Promises (i.e. element(by…), element.all(by…)) execute their then functions when the underlying value becomes ready. What this means is that all the promises are first scheduled and then the then functions are run as the results become ready. When you run something like this: … Read more
