End-2-End Tests

The integration tests will start up a webbrowser and click thru the web application. Each tests tests expected behaviour from the web application.

Prerequisites

• App (NodeJS Backend) needs to be running
• MongoDB needs to be running

Setup

Use npm to install Protractor globally with:

npm install -g protractor

The webdriver-manager is a helper tool to easily get an instance of a Selenium Server running. Use it to download the necessary binaries with:

npm install webdriver-manager
webdriver-manager update

Now start up a server with:

webdriver-manager start

This will start up a Selenium Server and will output a bunch of info logs. Your Protractor test will send requests to this server to control a local browser. Leave this server running throughout the tutorial. You can see information about the status of the server at http://localhost:4444/wd/hub

Running E2E-Tests

Now run the test with

protractor test/client/e2e/conf.js

E2E Result Example Output

Now run tests with

$ protractor test/client/e2e/conf.js
Using the selenium server at http://localhost:4444/wd/hub
