grunt-mocha-protractor

Run e2e angular tests with webdriver.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-mocha-protractor --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mocha-protractor');

The "mochaProtractor" task

Overview

Currently you will need to have the Selenium Server running in the default location on localhost.

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named mochaProtractor to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  mochaProtractor: {
    options: {
      browsers: ['Chrome', 'Firefox']
    },
    files: ['test/*.js']
  },
})

Options

The usual Mocha options are passed through this task to the new Mocha instance.

options.browsers

Type: Array Default value: ['Chrome']

List of browsers to test with.

To test with SauceLabs the browser can also be specified as an object.

grunt.initConfig({
  mochaProtractor: {
    options: {
      reporter: 'Spec',
      browsers: [{
        base: 'SauceLabs',
        browserName: 'Firefox',
        platform: 'Windows 7',
        version: '23'
      }]
    },
    files: ['test/*.js']
  },

options.reporter

Type: String Default value: Spec

Mocha reporter to use

options.baseUrl

Type: String Default value: ``
