Hello guys, I was making a little protractor demo and the dev lead suggested to update the application html code to include a fixed 'attribute:value' pairs on all fields, so my test remains valid in case any change took place on any class, buttons names, etc...
so based on the above, i then, in my tests, I will be calling all elements on the application using the css locator (so all my tests will be written using by.css) in this way: element(by.css("tagname[attribute='value']")
the reason for this suggested change is to make our automated test stable, and not affected by any code changes...so im wondering if this is an acceptable practice? (I know that it will make my life much easier as an automation tester, but at the same time i'm finding it weird and i'm wondering if there are any disadvantages that im not yet aware of?) - let me know what you think
((Im thinking that such a change would put the app security at risk too, no?))
the error that i got shown in the image , and plz look into conf, package.json & spec.js

npm run build:e2e which would create an e2e/dist folder that contains a ready to go .js file that you can run with one command
count capability - like it can't tell the difference between the tests. count: 2 runs a test twice, and a jasmine reporter will output 2 specStarted's, but they have the same id :/ (so later if I wanted to associate the test's specDone or other jasmine output back to the same test, I couldn't){

Hi All, I am new to protractor - automation testing. I am following protractor website to do create few dummy tests.
Problem statement: i don't see line number when any test case fails
for eg:
D:\ProtractorDeltaPOC>protractor conf.js
[07:53:44] I/launcher - Running 1 instances of WebDriver
[07:53:44] I/hosted - Using the selenium server at http://localhost:4444/wd/hub
[07:53:51] I/launcher - 0 instance(s) of WebDriver still running
[07:53:51] I/launcher - chrome #01 failed 1 test(s)
[07:53:51] I/launcher - overall: 1 failed spec(s)
[07:53:51] E/launcher - Process exited with error code 1
in the above code, it says test is failed but there are no reference. Can someone help me.
