Do I need to use SELENIUM_PROMISE_MANAGER=false to use async/await even if I'm using directConnect to chrome?

I'm currently re-writing some protractor scripts, and I'm running into a strange issue. In the linked gist I'm attempting to click on a nav link, which reveals a sub-menu, and then click on a sub-menu item. I've added a lot of debugging code, and the script seems to hang when I try to get the set of sub-items. Any thoughts? https://gist.github.com/mattdhorstman/ea24ddb70b80a52591b7e8fa909ff66b

Looks like Angular considering possibility to have new Protractor (like v6) without control flow, but they trying to find collaborators who want to maintain it.

StanislavKharchenko

@StanislavKharchenko

And Craig's project will be as good continuation (codename Arctan). Craig, maybe you can share your project and interested users can contribute it?

Not yet. I am still working on some internal stuff... Still trying to figure out how to open source things.

@buddyackerman

wait for angular waits for angular to exit the zone. If your app does not exit the zone, the page will keep waiting and your script will timeout.
it is perfectly fine to not wait for angular. Just know that you should put browser.waits to wait for an element to appear on the page on load instead.

I was just starting to use Protractor and our app requires authentication so I had to turn off wait for angular so that I could handle the redirect to tour login page (Azure ADB2C) and they login and come back to the app. First is it ok/recommended to turn wait for Angular back on or am I now relegated to doing waits with ExpectedConditions?

StanislavKharchenko

@StanislavKharchenko

For default experience with Protractor it is ok to switch on “waitForAngular”. But this is up to app you test, if it correctly works with angular zones. Just to switch it on and check if next steps of your test case are passed.

@buddyackerman

So, now I'm having a problem with async tests. All of my tests are async and the are now stepping on each other. Some of them access a menu, one to count the items in the menu and others to click certain items in the menu but it appears that the tests are running all at the same time because they're async. How do I handle this?

StanislavKharchenko

@StanislavKharchenko

Could you please share examples?

buddyackerman

@buddyackerman

@StanislavKharchenko It seems to be working now not sure why it wasn't before.

I have a new question, how do I run protractor against a deployed instance of my app. Say my QA environment. When using angular cli to run e2e tests it always wants to build the app and run it from local host then run tests against that. How do I just run the tests against my already deployed QA, stage or Prod environment?

Is there any documents/video on file upload and file download by Protractor ?

StanislavKharchenko

@StanislavKharchenko

@buddyackerman You can run Protractor by "protractor" binary. Just type: "npx protractor <your_conf>" And so you don't to get attached to app folder.

Hello, guys! Here is could be issue when get release of Chrome v91. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1205107 Seems we can't use w3c: false and need workaround. I would like to have some news regarding upgrades to Selenium 4 (Arctangent or Protractor "v6"-ish project). I don't understand how really contact Angular team, they ignore all and all. Maybe @cnishina Craig could help?

Tejkumar Kempaiah

@T-e-j-k-u-m-a-r

Thanks @StanislavKharchenko

@T-e-j-k-u-m-a-r

Any update on this request ? Is there any documents/video on file upload and file download by Protractor ?

StanislavKharchenko

@StanislavKharchenko

@T-e-j-k-u-m-a-r Files downloading process control by your browser (webdriver) and you can configure in capabilities in what folder path it will be downloaded. The upload process is just rely on your app. You need to set field with folder path (sendKey) and then press upload button. Like
await element(by.id('fileUpload')).sendKeys(pathToFile);
await element(by.id('btnUpload')).click()

@T-e-j-k-u-m-a-r

@StanislavKharchenko : Thank you.. Actually, When I click on upload photo it prompts the file explorer pop up, So how to handle it ? I know from selenium point of view there are tools like sikuli/auto IT which are used to automate windows based application, However wanted to know the approach from Protractor side.

StanislavKharchenko

@StanislavKharchenko

@T-e-j-k-u-m-a-r What will be after your select file from window? You need press again on upload? I think for your case you need to observe DOM tree and identify into what place file put before post to server. I think you can reproduce this scenario using protractor/selenium browser.executeAsyncScript to modify DOM

Tejkumar Kempaiah

@T-e-j-k-u-m-a-r

@StanislavKharchenko : For now, I haven't figured out a way to handle file upload explorer pop up, Could you please
share some doc for the same

StanislavKharchenko

@StanislavKharchenko

You don’t need to handle popup browser, but just need to emulate uploading process. You can ask the question on stackoverflow, there are also several similar questions asked by another guys. I think also Selenium could provide some workaround for this. I don’t have such scenarios in my e2e, so I can’t provide examples.

@spmiller

In our tests we set the full file path on the file input and submit the form -- seems to work OK

Tejkumar Kempaiah

@T-e-j-k-u-m-a-r

Thanks @StanislavKharchenko : Its resolved now.

Thanks @spmiller

Hey guys, I have a question concerning the usage of the async/await pattern with protractor.
I noticed that the error stack trace is missing a lot of references to the files. Has anyone find a way to solve this ?

Jan Molak

@jan-molak

Nice work on angular/protractor#5516 @StanislavKharchenko! Hopefully @cnishina and @kyliau can release your fix soon :-)

Craig Nishina

@cnishina

Wow, I have not looked at Protractor in forever. It looks like Keen is taking this one across the finish line.

StanislavKharchenko

@StanislavKharchenko

This process is very very slow and I'm not sure when release will actually cut. I've recently contacted to Keen, he said that Angular team collecting companies/orgs to share maintenance of Protractor. So we don't know who will be as main maintainer. In my team we urgently moved to protractor fork with changes done in my PR, since chrome v91 has breaking changes and fail all our tests. And I want to say that Protractor v6 works fine. I very thanks to Craig @cnishina for the great job done under v6 and removal control flow.

Hi all, if you're using Protractor with ChromeDriver 91, your tests might break - check out my recent article describing the problem and potential solutions.

Also, I've just published:

Serenity/JS 2.29.1 - with support for Chrome 91
protractor-cucumber-framework 8.1.1

Run npm update to update them on your project.

Hello,

I have an angular app that is on angular v5. Company app that I cannot upgrade at the moment. Want to setup Protractor e2e tests (Using Cucumber). We have different environments (Dev, Test, Prod, etc.). All environments would have same settings with different values (like all environments have apiKey setting but value different in each environment). How do I pass environment variable to the ng e2e command and use it to load the right configs? I have settings in a json file.

From github issue - angular/protractor#5502 - is the protractor going to be deprecated by 2022 ?

@artemrudenko , the issue is closed . is the protractor going to be continued ? Who can give the official confirmation?

Luiggi

@luiggidesigner_twitter

hey everyone, Is it possible to get the value of var inside component from protractor in e2e? Like count:number =2; I need to iknow in test what's the value in this var

is it possible?

component in angular no in test

ArtemRudenko

@artemrudenko

@luiggidesigner_twitter Not sure why do you need this but in a case you app was built not in prod mode than you can try

browser.executeScript(`return ng.getComponent(arguments[0]).count`,   element.getWebElement());

where element is an ElementFinder for your component

@srikanthkln this is the question to google team) as I understand yes, protractor to be deprecated
