#Trying to figure out how to get protractor working
# My first test is simple. Visit the page and see if this thing is on the page
# That test works fine.
# The second test is clicking a button and waiting to see if errors appear
# No matter what I try that I find on the net I can't get it to work. Help?

@robertwalsh0: At first glance have you tried navigating to the page first, then interacting with the elements? I haven't run this locally but something like https://gist.github.com/nickL/816e15138c9f691faf61. Diff: https://gist.github.com/nickL/816e15138c9f691faf61/revisions
