Running Protractor tests

Initiating the web driver runner

$ npm install -g protractor # installs Protractor
$ webdriver-manager update # downloads Selenium and Chrome
$ webdriver-manager start # start Selenium server

Creating a confinguration file

Create a new text file and name it conf.js. Use the address outputted on previous step and add the name of the spec file.

// conf.js content
exports.config = {
  seleniumAddress:
  'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  specs: ['spec.js']
}

Running Protractor

Our conf.js will tell Protractor which server to run the specs against, and where our specs are. To run it, you just need to point protractor to this configuration file:

$ protractor conf.js
