  const component = await browser.mountComponent('/src/components/Form.component');

Configuration

- projectRoot

Nightwatch angular plugin needs to know the root directory of the angular project for which the tests are written. By default this is set as the current directory ('./'). This can be overridden using the projectRoot property like this:

module.exports = {

  '@nightwatch/angular': {
    projectRoot: 'path/to/angular/project' // defaults to current directory
  },

  // other nightwatch settings...
}

- port

The angular plugin uses webpack dev server to compile and render angular components. By default it uses port 5173 to serve the rendered pages. This can be overridden using the following configurations:

module.exports = {

  'webpack_dev_server': {
    port: 10096 // defaults to 5173
  },

  // other nightwatch settings...
}
