Existing Protractor - Java scripts test run and new development till end of 2022

[ganeshkodali]

Hi Protractor Support team,

We got information about Protractor will be deprecated by 2022 [Not officially declared].

1. Can we continue existing scripts for testruns that are developed on Protractor with Selenium 3 on latest available browser versions till 2022 [Chrome browser]? If not what would be the impact and what are alternate options to keep tests alive till 2022.
2. Our new script development is continued with the available Protractor version. What would be the impact?

Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi,

Until the end of 2022, you will have no problem. I think so.
After, it depends. Protractor will not stop working.
However, after 2022 and with Selenium 3, it is dependent of browser support.
If web browsers do not remove support for Selenium 3 or, perhaps, by upgrading to Selenium 4, your tests will work.
So, it depends, but in general, your tests will work.
