protractor - npm Package Versions

0.16.1

Note: Major version 0 releases are for initial development, and backwards incompatible changes may be introduced at any time.

Note: 0.16.0 was released as a canary - no changelog for it.

Features

• (a75fa04) docs(readme): add the travis status widget

• (478c00a) feat(runner): add beta support for using mocha as your test framework

  This change adds limited support for using mocha as the test framework instead of jasmine. Make the switch by using --framework=mocha on the command line or adding framework: 'mocha' to the config. Tests will be run using the BDD interface. The interface is adapted so that tests run asynchronously without needing to call done().

  Note that there is currently no support for an assertion framework, so you will need to require whichever assertion framework you prefer. This means there is no adapter to make the assertions unwrap promises, so you will need to resolve promises yourself and run the assertions afterwards.

• (3731abf) feat(webdriver-manager): add seleniumPort command line option

  Added seleniumPort command line option so that the standalone selenium server can be started with the supplied port number as opposed to the default port 4444.

  $ webdriver-manager start --seleniumPort 4443
  

Bug Fixes

• (bc18c42) chore(config): saucelabs requires tunnel identifier to be a string

Breaking Changes

• (478c00a) feat(runner): add beta support for using mocha as your test framework

To allow the user to customize their framework, the protractor runner will now wait until just before onPrepare to load the framework. This means that jasmine will not be available in global until onPrepare. For example, this means that requiring the jasmine-reporters module must be done inside onPrepare, since that module expects jasmine to be available at the time it is loaded.

0.15.0

Note: Major version 0 releases are for initial development, and backwards incompatible changes may be introduced at any time.

Features

• (f8d0291) chore(version): update the version of dependency minijasminenode

  This is notable because in the newer 0.2.6 version of minijasminenode, ddescribe and iit are supported. These should be available after running an 'npm update'.

• (6165023) feat(runner): return a promise from runner.runOnce

  In some cases knowing when the runner has finished is a requirement (e.g. an async grunt task).

• (d44ef01) feat(debugging): remove webdriver lines from stacktraces by default to improve readability

• (33fa4a4) feat(locators): by model works for anything with a model, not just input

  Notably, by.model will now find selects and textareas.

  Closes #321.

• (238bb74) feat(ignoresync): ignoreSynchronization now affects the behavior of browser.get

  Now, when ignoring synchronization, calls to browser.get are equivalent to calling browser.driver.get.

  Closes #306

• (30c0ceb) feat(element) element.all exports an 'each' method

  Usage:

  element.all(by.model('foo')).each(function(webElement) {
    // Do stuff with webElement.
  });
  

  Closes #298

• (6a73a25) feat(by.repeat) by.repeat support for multi ng-repeat

  Make by.repeat (and its column and row friends) work with ng-repeat-start and ng-repeat-end elements.

  Closes #366. Closes #182.

Bug Fixes

• (50d6fde) fix(clientSideScripts): bind-template directive shouldn't break bind locators

  Fix "UnknownError: angular.element(...).data(...).$binding[0] is undefined" error raised when trying to use "by.binding" locator in any element of a page that contains at least one "bind-template" directive.

• (f8c606b) fix(webdriver-manager): make sure selenium standalone shuts down nicely

  This addresses selenium server shutdown in two ways

  • the node process will stay open until selenium has exited
  • if the user inputs to STDIN (e.g. press space) selenium will shut down gracefully

• (e98f71e) fix(webdriver-manager): fix IEDriver install and running via windows

  Changed the binaries.ie.url function to return the correct URL for the IEDriverServer. Created the zip object in the win32 section to be able to decompress IEDriverServer. Added a function to normalize a command across OS and spawn it. It allows start the webdriver in win32.

  Seen here: https://github.com/yeoman/generator/blob/master/lib/actions/spawn_command.js

0.14.0

Note: Major version 0 releases are for initial development, and backwards incompatible changes may be introduced at any time.

Features

• (c579a1a), (f54fd5d) feat(webdriver-manager): redo the script to run and install selenium/webdriver

  Breaking Change. As outlined in Issue #296, redoing the way the selenium/webdriver install and run helper scripts work. Now, the 'webdriver-manager' script will be available either locally or globally (depending on how protractor was installed). It replaced install_selenium_standalone and the 'start' script that was provided after install. Run webdriver-manager update to download new versions of selected webdriver binaries. Run webdriver-manager start to start the standalone server. In addition, this fixes issues with running the server starter in Windows, and allows automated downloading of the IEDriver.

  Thanks to kurthong and vipper for their PRs with windows fixes, which were very useful in preparing this.

• (a69ebc3) feat(runner): use selenium and chromedriver from the default location if nothing else is specified

Bug Fixes

• (1fa090c) fix(runner): merge should override entire arrays, not just parts of them

  Closes #304

• (a2afb4d) fix(element): element.all.get and element.all.first/last should wrap web elements

  Closes #307

• (f3be172) fix(runner): running with chromeOnly should try to find chromedriver with .exe extension

  Closes #283

Breaking Changes

• (c579a1a) feat(webdriver-manager): redo the script to run and install selenium/webdriver

  Breaking Change. Your old selenium/start script will continue to work, but install_selenium_standalone no longer exists. To do a clean update, remove the selenium folder. Then run webdriver-manager update

• (a1c91a2) fix(config): Make all file paths in config files relative to the config file itself

  Breaking Change Previously, onPrepare and specs were relative to the location of the config, but seleniumServerJar and chromeDriver were relative to the cwd when the test was called. If you were calling the tests from somewhere other than the same directory as the config location, you will need to change the paths of seleniumServerJar and/or chromeDriver. Closes #222.

0.13.0

Note: Major version 0 releases are for initial development, and backwards incompatible changes may be introduced at any time.

Features

• (ce5f494) feat(element): element.all now has 'first' and 'last' methods

• (ef61662) feat(runner): allow bypassing the selenium standalone server if running only chrome

  Using the config option chromeOnly now enables running ChromeDriver directly, without going through the Selenium Standalone. The chromedriver binary should be available in your PATH, or should be specified with the config option chromeDriver.

• (76c094a) feat(getLocationAbsUrl) - allows current url to be obtained on IE (and Chrome/Firefox)

• (6a1c918) feat(runner): add error message for bad jar path

• (98bce7e) feat(locators): add the ability to add custom element locators with by.addLocator

  Custom locators can now be added using by.addLocator(name, script), where script is a self-contained snippet to be executed on the browser which returns an array of elements. Closes #236.

• (c7bcc20) chore(angular): update to angular 1.2

Bug Fixes

• (a24eeee) fix(runner): do not error out if only one spec pattern does not match any files

  Previously, the runner would throw an error if any one of the spec patterns did not match any files. Now it logs a warning in that case, and errors out only if there are no found files in any spec patterns. Closes #260

• (f3b3fdb) fix(element): fix an error where all.then() wasn't calling callbacks.

  Closes #267

• (137d804) fix(jasminewd): patched matcher should understand 'not'

  Closes #139.

0.12.1

Note: Major version 0 releases are for initial development, and backwards incompatible changes may be introduced at any time.

Minor features

• (201b59c) feat(jasminewd): better error messaging when expect is called with a WebElement

• (d383770) feat(clientsidescripts): better error reporting from testForAngular and waitForAngular

Bug fixes

• (8580c0c) fix(install-selenium): update to chromedriver 2.6

  Update to the latest version of Chromedriver. This fixes the issue with OS X 10.9. Closes #181.

• (ebc528f) fix(debugging): switch debugging tests to the new test app urls.

• (8ff4787) fix(runner): exit with proper code when tests fail

  When errors with messages matching /timeout/ were created, Protractor clears the control flow so that the remainder of the tasks scheduled for that spec don't bleed over into the next spec. This was messing up the promises used in the runner, since they are also webdriver promises. Long term, the runner should not use webdriver promises. For now, fix by having the runner resolve promises directly rather than through chaining, and add a TODO to use promises which aren't connected to WebDriver's control flow in the runner.

  Closes #214.

• (81501c5) fix(clientsidescripts): workaround for IE 8 "async page reload" init problem

• (21264fd) fix(find): fix error when exposed to ng-options element with a default option

  Protractor will now ignore elements with the ng-bind class that don't have a proper binding on their data, instead of blowing up when encoutering them.

  Closes #165, may fix #170

  • (f672648) fix(findelements): fix isPresent for repeaters by row for real

Breaking Changes

• (bf5b076) fix(cli): remove boolean verbose and stack trace options

  Also add better description for what the command line options are.

  Tiny breaking change: Rename the 'includeStackTrace' command line option to 'stackTrace' for brevity.

0.12.0

Note: Major version 0 releases are for initial development, and backwards incompatible changes may be introduced at any time.

This change introduces major syntax updates. Using the new syntax is recommended, but the old version is still supported for now. Note also that the test application, docs, and example tests have been updated.

Features

• (a2cd6c8) feat(syntax): big syntax reboot, expose global $, $$, element, and by

In an effort to make tests more readable and clear, a few more global variables will now be exported.

browser is an instance of protractor. This was previously accessed using protractor.getInstance.

by is a collection of element locators. Previously, this was protractor.By.

$ is a shortcut for getting elements by css. $('.foo') === element(by.css('.foo'))

All changes should be backwards incompatible, as tested with the new 'backwardscompat' tests.

Bug fixes

• (8c87ae6) fix(onPrepare): onPrepare with a string argument should resolve from the config directory

onPrepare can take a string, which is a filename containing a script to load adn execute before any tests run. This fixes the string to resolve the filename relative to the config file, instead of relative to the current working directory where protractor is called.

0.11.0

Note: Major version 0 releases are for initial development, and backwards incompatible changes may be introduced at any time.

Features

• (02cb819) feat(cli): allow passing params directly to your test

Adds a config object 'params' which is passed directly to instances of protractor. 'params' may contain nested objects, and can be changed via the command line as:

--params.login.user 'Joe' --params.login.password 'abc'

This change also switches to using optimist to parse command line flags for more flexibility and better usage documentation. Closes #32.

• (c025ddb) feat(findElements): $ & $$ shortcuts.

Introducing the $ shortcut method for finding a single element by css without having to call protractor.By.css. Additionally $$ for finding all elements by css.

Examples:

• ptor.$('.some .selector')

• ptor.$$('.some .selector')

• (7d74184) feat(explorer): add an interactive element explorer

When debugging or first writing test suites, you may find it helpful to try out Protractor commands without starting up the entire test suite. You can do this with the element explorer. This change introduces a first version of the element explorer. Closes #107

Bug Fixes

• (e45ceaa) fix(repeaters): allow finding all rows of a repeater

Now, finding an element with the strategy 'protractor.By.repeater()' returns a promise which will resolve to an array of WebElements, where each WebElement is a row in the repeater. Closes #149.

• (b501ceb) fix(findElements): Consistently include evaluate.

When using findElements with a css locator, wrap the returned list of elements with protractor specific functionality.

• (c17ac12) fix(cli): allow running from command line without a config file

If all necessary fields are specified (e.g. seleniumAddress and at least one spec), a config file shouldn't be necessary.

Breaking Changes

• (421d623) fix(repeat): use 0-based indexing for repeater rows

BREAKING CHANGE: Finding rows with protractor.By.repeater now indexes from 0 instead of 1. This should be more familiar to most modern programmers. You will need to edit existing tests. Closes #90.

Before:

// The fourth foo
ptor.findElement(protractor.By.repeater('foo in foos').row(4));

After:

// The fourth foo
ptor.findElement(protractor.By.repeater('foo in foos').row(3));

0.10.0

Note: Major version 0 releases are for initial development, and backwards incompatible changes may be introduced at any time.

Features

• (881759e) feat(timeouts): add a unique error message when waitForAngular times out

To improve the readability of error messages, when waitForAngular times out it now produces a custom message. This should help clarify confusion for pages that continually poll using $interval. This change also adds more documentation on timeouts. See issue #109.

• (37e0f1a) feat(install selenium): better communication in the install script

Adds better messages in the selenium server install script, and also makes the script output a 'start' executable which can be used to quickly start up the selenium standalone. not yet windows friendly. Closes #108.

• (b32f5a5) feat(config): add examples for dealing with log-in

Adds examples for how to log in when the login page is not written in Angular. New examples are in spec/login.

• (1b7675a) feat(cli): add an onPrepare callback to the config

This onPrepare callback is useful when you want to do something with protractor before running the specs. For example, you might want to monkey-patch protractor with custom functions used by all the specs, or add the protractor instance to the globals. An example usage is shown in the spec/onPrepareConf.js file and its associated spec.

Bug fixes

• (256b21c) fix(cli): allow passing the config file before the options

The cli usage says:

USAGE: protractor configFile [options] However, the options passed as argument are merged into the default configuration as soon as the configFile is met in the args parsing loop. This fix merges the options in the default configuration only after the loop, allowing to pass the options to the cli before or after, or around the config file.

• (6223825) fix(jasminewd): allow use of custom matchers

Using jasmine.Matchers.prototype to generate the chained methods for expect() calls is flawed because it does not pick up custom matchers defined using addMatcher. Instead, use either the matchersClass for the current spec or from the environment.

• (c22fc38) fix(sync): getCurrentUrl and friends should sync with Angular first

getCurrentUrl, getPageSource, and getTitle should sync with Angular before executing. Closes #92.

• (dd06756) fix(clientsidescripts): findElements and isElementPresent for protractor.By.select

• (c607459) fix (navigation): The defer label should appear before other window names, not after.

• (806f381) Fix: findElements() and isElementPresent() now work for protractor.By.input. Closes #79.

Breaking changes

• (881759e) feat(timeouts): add a unique error message when waitForAngular times out

This changes the default script timeout from 100 seconds down to 11. Tests which relied on extremely long timeouts will need to change the default script timeout with driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(<bigNumber>).

0.9.0

Note: Major version 0 releases are for initial development, and backwards incompatible changes may be introduced at any time.

Features

• (0e8de99) Wrap WebElements with Protractor specific features. This change allows chained findElement calls to work with Protractor locators. It also adds a function, evaluate, to evaluate an angular expression in the context of a WebElement's scope.

• (9f53118) Improving the command line interface (adding more options). This allows the --spec option to be passed with test files that will be resolved relative to the current directory. Smarter merging of default config values. Closes #65.

• (73821fb) Adding an 'ignoreSynchronization' property to turn off Protractor's attempt to wait for Angular to be ready on a page. This can be used to test pages that poll with $timeout or $http.

Bug fixes

• (cfc6438) Adding support for isElementPresent with Protractor locators. Closes #11.

• (8329b01) Adding waitForAngular calls before WebElement functions. Closes #37.
