A simple setup to run protractor e2e tests only

aurelia-e2e-testing

1. Ensure that NodeJS is installed. This provides the platform on which the build tooling runs.
2. From the project folder, execute the following command:

npm install

3. Ensure that Gulp is installed globally. If you need to install it, use the following command:

npm install -g gulp

Note: Gulp must be installed globally, but a local version will also be installed to ensure a compatible version is used for the project.

Running The E2E Tests

Integration tests are performed with Protractor.

1. Place your E2E-Tests into the folder test/e2e/src
2. Install the necessary webdriver (this is done automatically with gulp e2e)

npm run pree2e

3. Configure the path to the webdriver by opening the file protractor.conf.js and adjusting the seleniumServerJar property. Typically its only needed to adjust the version number.

4. In another console run the E2E-Tests

npm run e2e

5. You can set the protractor baseUrl with environmental variable E2E_URL or like this (default is http://localhost:9000)

npm run e2e -- --baseUrl http://localhost:3000

A word on angularJS

To make angular work with this repository just remove the aurelia plugin in protractor.conf.js and replace loadAndWaitForAureliaPage with get in file demo.spec.js. This is already enough for AngularJS 1 to work.

If you like to run AngularJS 2 apps, you need to add the following to your protractor.conf.js in addition:

onPrepare: function() {
  browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;
},

useAllAngular2AppRoots: true
