Given an app with multiple widgets on it, each with their own title and whatnot, I would like to map each widget's elements, to make them easy to handle in tests.
For example, a page:
this.widgets = element.all(by.css('ul.widget-grid')).map(function(widget, index) {
return {
index: index,
title: widget.element(by.css('div.title')).getText()
};
});
And then in my spec:
expect(page.widgets[0].index).toBe(0);
expect(page.widgets[0].title).toBe('The Title');
Unfortunately, my expects are returning undefined
.
What am I doing wrong? I'm using Protractor 2.0.
This confused me so I thought I'd add an answer to help others...
While I understood that map()
returns a promise, because I was using it in an expect
, I thought it would be resolved, and then should act like an array. Nope. It returns an object, that looks like an array, but is not an array.
I ran into this problem, and none of these solved this for me. For anyone googling like I was here is the real answer:
element.all(by.css('ul.widget-grid')).map(function(widget, index) {
return {
index: index,
title: widget.element(by.css('div.title')).getText()
}
}).then(function(map){
this.widgets = map;
});
map()
returns a promise that would resolve into an array of objects.
I think you meant to check the first widget's index and title:
var widget = page.widgets[0];
expect(widget.index).toBe(0);
expect(widget.title).toBe('The Title');
Protractor's ElementArrayFinder.prototype.map gave me some hard time.
The solution that worked for me was a good old for
loop:
var myElements = element.all(by.css('ul li')) - 1;
var n = myElements.length - 1;
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
var elem = myElements.get(i);
var open = elem.element(by.css('.some-class'));
open.click();
var childElem = filter.element(by.css('[some-attribute]'));
expect(childElem.isPresent()).toBe(true);
}
