describe('my homepage', function() {
var ptor = protractor.getInstance();
beforeEach(function(){
// ptor.ignoreSynchronization = true;
ptor.get('http://localhost/myApp/home.html');
// ptor.sleep(5000);
})
describe('login', function(){
var email = element.all(protractor.By.id('email'))
, pass = ptor.findElement(protractor.By.id('password'))
, loginBtn = ptor.findElement(protractor.By.css('#login button'))
;
it('should input and login', function(){

// console.log('email', obj)
// })
email.sendKeys('josephine#hotmail.com');
pass.sendKeys('shakalakabam');
loginBtn.click();
})
})
});
the above code returns
Error: Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: {}
and I have no idea why this is, ptor load the page correctly, it seem to be the selection of the elements that fails.
TO SSHMSH:
Thanks, your almost right, and gave me the right philosophy, so the key is to ptor.sleep(3000) to have each page wait til ptor is in sync with the project.
I got the same error message (Angular 1.2.13). My tests were kicked off too early and Protractor didn't seem to wait for Angular to load.
It appeared that I had misconfigured the protractor config file. When the ng-app directive is not defined on the BODY-element, but on a descendant, you have to adjust the rootElement property in your protractor config file to the selector that defines your angular root element, for example:
// protractor-conf.js
rootElement: '.my-app',
when your HTML is:
<div ng-app="myApp" class="my-app">
I'm using ChromeDriver and the above error usually occurs for the first test. I've managed to get around it like this:
ptor.ignoreSynchronization = true;
ptor.get(targetUrl);
ptor.wait(
function() {
return ptor.driver.getCurrentUrl().then(
function(url) {
return targetUrl == url;
});
}, 2000, 'It\'s taking too long to load ' + targetUrl + '!'
);
Essentially you are waiting for the current URL of the browser to become what you've asked for and allow 2s for this to happen.
You probably want to switch the ignoreSynchronization = false afterwards, possibly wrapping it in a ptor.wait(...). Just wondering, would uncommenting the ptor.sleep(5000); not help?
EDIT:
After some experience with Promise/Deferred I've realised the correct way of doing this would be:
loginBtn.click().then(function () {
ptor.getCurrentUrl(targetUrl).then(function (newURL){
expect(newURL).toBe(whatItShouldBe);
});
});
Please note that if you are changing the URL (that is, moving away from the current AngularJS activated page to another, implying the AngularJS library needs to reload and init) than, at least in my experience, there's no way of avoiding the ptor.sleep(...) call. The above will only work if you are staying on the same Angular page, but changing the part of URL after the hashtag.
In my case, I encountered the error with the following code:
describe("application", function() {
it("should set the title", function() {
browser.getTitle().then(function(title) {
expect(title).toEqual("Welcome");
});
});
});
Fixed it by doing this:
describe("application", function() {
it("should set the title", function() {
browser.get("#/home").then(function() {
return browser.getTitle();
}).then(function(title) {
expect(title).toEqual("Welcome");
});
});
});
In other words, I was forgetting to navigate to the page I wanted to test, so Protractor was having trouble finding Angular. D'oh!
The rootElement param of the exports.config object defined in your protractor configuration file must match the element containing your ng-app directive. This doesn't have to be uniquely identifying the element -- 'div' suffices if the directive is in a div, as in my case.
From referenceConf.js:
// Selector for the element housing the angular app - this defaults to
// body, but is necessary if ng-app is on a descendant of <body>
rootElement: 'div',
I got started with Protractor by watching the otherwise excellent egghead.io lecture, where he uses a condensed exports.config. Since rootElement defaults to body, there is no hint as to what is wrong with your configuration if you don't start with a copy of the provided reference configuration, and even then the
Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: {}
message doesn't give much of a clue.
I had to switch from doing this:
describe('navigation', function(){
browser.get('');
var navbar = element(by.css('#nav'));
it('should have a link to home in the navbar', function(){
//validate
});
it('should have a link to search in the navbar', function(){
//validate
});
});
to doing this:
describe('navigation', function(){
beforeEach(function(){
browser.get('');
});
var navbar = element(by.css('#nav'));
it('should have a link to home in the navbar', function(){
//validate
});
it('should have a link to search in the navbar', function(){
//validate
});
});
the key diff being:
beforeEach(function(){
browser.get('');
});
hope this may help someone.
I was getting this error:
Failed: Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: "window.angular is undefined. This could be either because this is a non-angular page or because your test involves client-side navigation, which can interfere with Protractor's bootstrapping. See http://git.io/v4gXM for details"
The solution was to call page.navigateTo() before page.getTitle().
Before:
import { AppPage } from './app.po';
describe('App', () => {
let page: AppPage;
beforeEach(() => {
page = new AppPage();
});
it('should have the correct title', () => {
expect(page.getTitle()).toEqual('...');
})
});
After:
import { AppPage } from './app.po';
describe('App', () => {
let page: AppPage;
beforeEach(() => {
page = new AppPage();
page.navigateTo();
});
it('should have the correct title', () => {
expect(page.getTitle()).toEqual('...');
})
});
If you are using
browser.restart()
in your spec some times, it throws the same error.
Try to use
await browser.restart()

I have written a protractor test code that will pull the url of a blog. Each time a new blog post, the last url will be updated and will be shown on the website. I want to check whether the url is returning 404 or 200. if 404 comes, the test will be failed. Below is my code
describe('Writing to wiki how', function() {
browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
browser.sleep(1000);
it('test commmunity', function () {
browser.get('https://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/');
browser.sleep(5000);
var knowhowimg = element(by.id('knowhowimg')).getAttribute("src").then(function (value) {
console.log(value); //want to test if this returns 200
browser.sleep(5000);
});
var knowhowimghref = element(by.id('knowhowimghref')).getAttribute("href").then(function (value) {
console.log(value); //want to test if this returns 200
browser.sleep(5000);
});
var knowhowheadhref = element(by.id('knowhowheadhref')).getAttribute("href").then(function (value) {
console.log(value); //want to test if this returns 200
browser.sleep(5000);
Those 3 console.log returns proper URL. I want to test those 3 urls that comes in console.log
The Request package is what you are looking for.
Example Usage:
var request = require('request');
describe('Writing to wiki how', function() {
browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
browser.sleep(1000);
it('Tests Community', function() {
element(by.id('knowhowimg')).getAttribute("src").then(function (value) {
request(value,function(error, response, body){
console.log('error:', error); // Print the error if one occurred
console.log('statusCode:', response && response.statusCode); // Print the response status code if a response was received
expect(response.statusCode).toBe(200);
});
});
});
Without using the Request package (will likely take longer due to having to fully load the page)
describe('Writing to wiki how', function() {
browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
browser.sleep(1000);
it('Tests Community', function() {
element(by.id('knowhowimg')).getAttribute("src").then(function (value) {
browser.get(value);
expect(element(by.css('div.ElementOnNewPage')).isPresent()).toBeTruthy(); //define an element that exists ONLY on the new page here
});
});
The main difference is that you are checking for an element that is on the next page to appear, thus proving that the page loaded.
I have a button on my page, I want to write an e2e test using Protractor. What I want to implement is that when clicking the button, page change to http://localhost:8100/#/booking. How can I implement that?
describe('booking function', function() {
it('should go to booking page', function() {
broswer.get(localHostCruises);
element(by.css('.button.button-stable.button-block')).click();
//sudo code
expect(page change to "http://localhost:8100/#/book" );
})
})
you need to use the browser.getCurrentUrl() method, so something like this:
element(by.css('.button.button-stable.button-block')).click().then(function () {
expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toEqual("http://localhost:8100/#/book");
})
You can achieve this with below code.
let targetLocation = 'your/target/location';
browser.get('localHostCruises'); // Login page.
element(by.css('.button.button-stable.button-block')).click(); // click on button.
browser.setLocation(targetLocation);
// If Login takes some time, so wait until it's done.
browser.wait(() => {
return browser.getCurrentUrl().then((url) => {
let isMatch = url.match(targetLocation);
if (isMatch) {
page = new Page; // I assume you writing test cases in page object.
} else {
browser.setLocation(targetLocation);
}
return isMatch;
});
}, 2000, 'Should throw an error message.');
The following is the html I wanna tackle with.
I wanna post a query and see the weather reports for that city. I tried my codes:
var casper = require('casper').create();
var utils = require('utils');
casper.start('http://www.weather.com.cn/weather1d/101210101.shtml');
casper.waitForSelector('input', function()
{
this.fillXPath('div.search clearfix',{'//input[#id="txtZip"]':'shijiazhuang'},true);
});
casper.then(function()
{
utils.dump(this.getTitle());
});
casper.run();
It did not print the web paeg title on the console. I also tried this:
casper.waitForSelector('input', function()
{
this.fillSelectors('div.search clearfix',{'input[id="txtZip"]':'shijiazhuang'},true);
});
}
);
I did not get any web page title also. I got quite confused and did not what I had done wrong. Besides, it seems that this.fill method only tackles with name attributes to post information on CasperJS's official website. I need your help.
CasperJS script:
var casper = require('casper').create(), utils = require('utils');
casper
.start('http://www.weather.com.cn/weather1d/101210101.shtml',function(){
this
.wait(3000,function(){
this.capture('search.png');
utils.dump(this.getTitle());
})
.evaluate(function(){
document.getElementById('txtZip').value='shijiazhuang';
document.querySelector('input[type="button"]').click();
})
})
.run();
Result:
"【石家庄天气】石家庄今天天气预报,今天,今天天气,7天,15天天气预报,天气预报一周,天气预报15天查询"
search.png
You are doing it correct, you only have to modify your script a little bit.
Just modify the selector of the input field the actual don't seems to work, then you should get the correct result.
"this.fillXPath" only fills up the form and don't post it.
...
// fill the form
casper.waitForSelector('input', function() {
this.fillXPath('#txtZip', {
'//input[#id="txtZip"]': 'shijiazhuang'
}, true);
});
// trigger - post the form
casper.then(function() {
this.click('#btnZip');
});
// i can't speak chinese - wait for some specific change on this page
casper.wait(5000);
// take a screenshot of it
casper.then(function() {
this.capture("shijiazhuang_weather.png");
});
...
Following is a minimal casper script that does a Google query. I've added casper.on('click' ...) prior to running the script, but it doesn't appear to get triggered.
What am I missing?
// File: google_click_test.js
"use strict";
var casper = require('casper').create();
casper.on('click', function(css) {
casper.echo('casper.on received click event ' + css);
});
// ================================================================
// agenda starts here
casper.start('https://google.com', function g01() {
casper.echo('seeking main page');
});
casper.then(function a02() {
casper.waitForSelector(
'form[action="/search"]',
function() {
casper.echo("found search form");
},
function() {
casper.echo("failed to find search form");
casper.exit();
});
});
casper.then(function a03() {
casper.fillSelectors('form[action="/search"]', {
'input[title="Google Search"]' : 'casperjs'
}, false);
});
casper.then(function a04() {
casper.click('form[action="/search"] input[name="btnG"]')
casper.echo('clicked search button');
});
casper.run();
Output:
Here's the output. I would expect to see casper.on received click event somewhere, but it seems that it didn't get triggered:
$ casperjs --ignore-ssl-errors=true --web-security=no google_click_test.js
seeking main page
found search form
clicked search button
$
Although your example runs fine for me using casperjs 1.1.0-beta3 and phantomjs 1.9.8, I've been having similar issues in the last few months with casperjs. Sadly it seems that the author has stopped maintaining the project. More information here:

I would suggest moving to a different testing framework. In my case I chose a combination of mocha + chai + nightmarejs. This gist is a good starting point:

I was wondering, is it possible to get the full nested describe path for the tests?
Given:
describe('Smoke Testing - Ensuring all pages are rendering correctly and free of JS errors', function () {
describe('app', function () {
describe('app.home', function () {
it('should render this page correctly', function (done) {
//name here should be: Smoke Testing - Ensuring all pages are rendering correctly and free of JS errors app app.home should render this page correctly
done()
})
})
describe('app.dashboard', function () {
describe('app.dashboard.foobar', function () {
it('should render this page correctly', function (done) {
//name here should be: Smoke Testing - Ensuring all pages are rendering correctly and free of JS errors app app.dashboard app.dashboard.foobar should render this page correctly
done()
})
})
})
})
})
Both jasmine.Suite and jasmine.Spec have method getFullName(). Works as you'd expect:
describe("A spec within suite", function() {
it("has a full name", function() {
expect(this.getFullName()).toBe('A spec within suite has a full name.');
});
it("also knows parent suite name", function() {
expect(this.suite.getFullName()).toBe('A spec within suite');
});
});
<script src="http://searls.github.io/jasmine-all/jasmine-all-min.js"></script>
Notice: this answer is now bit dated and uses Jasmine 1.3.1 in the example.
When you are inside the describe callback function this is set to a "suite" object which has the description of the suite (the text you pass to describe) and a property for the parent suite.
The example below gets the concatenation of the description nested describe calls, I'm not sure about how to access the description of the "it". But this will get you part way there.
var getFullDesc = function(suite){
var desc = "";
while(suite.parentSuite){
desc = suite.description + " " + desc;
suite = suite.parentSuite;
}
return desc;
}
describe('Outer describe', function(){
describe('Inner describe', function(){
console.log(getFullDesc(this));
it('some test', function(){
});
});
});
