Protractor Example

Herein lies an example Protractor project, that includes tests (some quite silly) that aim to illustrate solutions for common issues when writing e2e tests.

Example Protractor project that:

Makes use of page objects
Runs tests on Sauce Labs
Runs multiple browsers at once
Runs tests sharded (parallel)
Includes examples tests for both Angular, and non-Angular applications
Uses protractor-flake to re-run failed tests
is written using es6

Setup:

Install Node (v8.x.x or later)
git clone [email protected]:qualityshepherd/protractor-example.git
npm i to install the project dependencies

Run tests:

run tests via plain Protractor node_modules/.bin/protractor conf.js
run tests npm test (runs via flake, which re-runs failed tests)
run with flake ./flake conf.js
run on saucelabs./flake sauceConf.js (add your username/key)

Or if you're a non-reader, watch the video...

Troubleshooting

run node -v and make sure your node version is 8.x.x or greater
webdriver-manager should have updated on install, but if not, run npm run update to be sure
