protractor-helpers

protractor-helpers is a layer on top of protractor which abstracts commonly used test code into cleaner methods.

Installation

npm install protractor-helpers --save-dev

Setup

In your protractor.config.js onPrepare() function, require the module

onPrepare: function(){
	var helpers = require( 'protractor-helpers' );

	<!-- Append to GLOBAL object -->
	GLOBAL.$model = helpers.$model;
	GLOBAL.$first = helpers.$first;
	GLOBAL.expectText = helpers.expectText;
	GLOBAL.expectUrl = helpers.expectUrl;
	GLOBAL.waitForAlertText = helpers.waitForAlertText;
}

Methods

$model( model ) returns the model
$first( selector ) returns first element that matches selector
expectText( selector, text ) asserts if text inside element is equal to the given string
expectUrl( url ) asserts current url contains string
waitForAlertText( expectedAlertText ) Waits for browser alert with the specified text then dismisses the alert

	expectText( '.Header-name', 'Welcome!');
});
