"Protractor ":
- Awesome end to end automation testing framework for AngularJS applications and combining powerful tools and technologies such as NodeJS, Selenium, web Driver, Jasmine, Cucumber and Mocha.
- It is very simple to learn and develop and also there are lots of debugging option to debug the code easily(like jasmine-reporter, Snapshot when requied like test passed or failed, HTML Reporter with Screen shots).
- Protractor allows tests to be organized based on Jasmine, thus allowing you to write both unit and functional tests on Jasmine.
- It can runs on real browsers and headless browsers(using saucelabs).
- We can use CI tool like Jenkins for doing continues integration nightly build from remote.
- Config file has lots of customizations on angular app testing.
- Protractor meet the needs of the community that is using AngularJS.
- It runs on top of the Selenium, and thus provides all the benefits and advantages from Selenium.
- Grunt is used to automation javascript tasks when performing repetitive tasks.
grunt-Protractor-runner:
A Grunt plugin for running Protractor runner.
It requires Grunt ~0.4.1 , Protractor >=0.14.0-0 <1.0.0 Node.js and versions >= 0.8.0
Configuring Grunt inside the protractor :
Step : 1
you want to install Grunt's command line interface (CLI) globally. CLI loads the local installation of the Grunt library, applies the configuration from your Gruntfile
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
Step: 2
Installing grunt on local system
sudo npm install grunt --save-dev
Step : 3
Configuring grunt-protractor-runner plugin :
npm install grunt-protractor-runner --save-dev
This plugin will install protractor module locally as a normal dependency. Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-protractor-runner');
Step: 4
The Gruntfile.js or Gruntfile.coffee file is a valid JavaScript file that belongs in the root directory of your project.
Create a js file and name it Grunt.js.
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
protractor: {
options: {
keepAlive: true,
singleRun: false,
configFile: "***.js",
template: 'custom.tmpl',
junit: {
path: 'outputdir',
consolidate: true
},
args: {
// Arguments passed to the command
}
},
your_target: {
options: {
args: {
specs: ["config-spec.js"],
},
}
},
},
})
};
Sending argument as a param object to grunt file and we can access the parameter from config.spec.js file.
Step : 1
Config your grunt.js file
Recieving the parameter object
var receiveobject = grunt.option('arg1');
Step : 2
Convert the param-object to json-object to receive it in config-spec.js file.
var jsonString = '{' ;
jsonString = jsonString + '"arg1": "' + arg1 + '"';
jsonString = jsonString + '}';
Step : 3
To access the json object inside the grunt file, declare it inside the grunt.initConfig
grunt.initConfig({
// Configuration to be run (and then tested).
data: JSON.parse(jsonString),
protractor: {
your_target: {
options: {
args: {
specs: ["test.js"],
params: '<%= data %>'// json object send to conf-spec file like this.
},
}
},
Step: 4
Receiving the json object at config.spec file:
browser.params.arg1;
Step: 5
Sending the argument to the grunt.js file.
grunt default --arg1=parametervalue
Concurrently running the tests using grunt:
Step : 1
protractor: {
test1: {
options: {
args: {
specs: ["test1.js"],
params: '<%= data %>'// json object send to conf-spec file like this.
},
}
},
test2: {
options: {
args: {
specs: ["test2.js"],
params: '<%= data %>'// json object send to conf-spec file like this.
},
}
},
test3: {
options: {
args: {
specs: ["test3.js"],
params: '<%= data %>'// json object send to conf-spec file like this.
},
}
},
}
Step: 2
Register the task
grunt.registerTask('protractor-task', ['protractor:test1','protractor:test2','protractor:test2']);
Step: 3
Execute it : grunt portractor-task
