testing angular apps using cucumber and protractor

Angular Cucumber Example

This is a working example of running Angular E2E tests using Cucumber.js, Protractor, and WebDriverJS.

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies

    npm install
    bower install
   

2. Start the application server

    grunt server
   

Running Tests

1. Start the application server

    grunt server
   

2. Start the selenium server

    grunt selenium
   

3. Run the cucumber tests

    grunt test
   

Resources

• Cucumber.js README
• Protractor README
• WebDriverJS Guide
• WebDriverJS WebDriver API
• WebDriverJS Locators API

TODO

• Quit driver after running all the cucumber tests. Can easily be added once the afterAll hook is added to cucumber.js

Questions

These are questions that I need to figure out due to my lack of familiarity with WebDriverJS and Selenium.

• Why does omitting usingServer allow running tests on Chrome without having the selenium server running?
• Saving world.coffee triggers some actions on the selenium server. Assuming there is some file watching mechanism in place, what files are watched and which actions are taken?
