Getting started with Protractor
1| Create a folder for new project.
2| Open Terminal/cmd_prompt and navigate project location.
3| Download protractor through terminal (make sure you have installed nodejs in your machine before executing the following command)
project-wise installation
npm install protractor
or
global installation
npm install -g protractor
4| And update the selenium-standalone-server.jar file after protractor installation.
project-wise updation
node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update
or
global updation
webdriver-manager update
This will update the existing selenium server and ChromeDriver under node_modules/protractor/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.xx.x.jar
To update the selenium server alone, enter the following command,
webdriver-manager update --standalone
5| Now, create a spec file using Jasmine unit testing framework #sample
6| And create the Protractor configuration file, protractor-conf.js for execution #sample
7| To run the spec file, you need to start selenium-server first,
project-wise
node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager start
or
global
webdriver-manager start
8| Let's run the first protractor project now,
project-wise
node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor protractor-conf.js
or
global
protractor protractor-conf.js
