Running tests using Protractor framework
- Marc Amouyal
If your testing framework is Protractor, the SeaLights agent integrates directly with it and reports the test results to the server directly.
See npm: sealights-protractor-plugin for details.
Protractor is deprecated and will reach end-of-life by Summer 2023. To learn more and find out about other options please refer to this post on the Angular blog: https://goo.gle/state-of-e2e-in-angular
It is important to notice that Protractor does not run the tests on itself but relies on a framework like Jasmine or CucumberJS for that purpose, as defined in its configuration. In order to fully integrate with Sealights, and depending on the framework in use, you’ll need to use the relevant complimentary Sealights plugin:
CucumberJS: https://sealights.atlassian.net/l/cp/sd1i1b2Q
Installing Sealights plugin
npm install sealights-protractor-pluginIn your config file add the sealights plugin
plugins: [{
package: 'sealights-protractor-plugin',
