Please correct my understanding for the below:
- I've installed protractor flake
- From the website we have 2 sets of
code
My assumption
I'm pretty sure the B part needs to be given in configuration.js file
of my protractor project but the A part where exactly should it be written.
As a separate file should i write it and then require them in the spec file which i'm running.I need exact steps as to achieve the above
The usage section which starts with below:
**var protractorFlake = require('protractor-flake')
// OR using es6 modules/typescript
import protractorFlake = require('protractor-flake')**
and ends with **process.exit(status)**
and the parsers section which starts with
module.exports = { till return [...failedSpecs]
As per the documentation,
Add dependency
npm i protractor-flake
# or globally for easier cli usage
npm i -g protractor-flake
Running tests
Option 1: Via the CLI:
# protractor-flake <protractor-flake-options> -- <options to be passed to protractor>
protractor-flake --parser standard --max-attempts=3 -- path/to/protractor.conf.js
Assuming that your conf.js file is in root directory.
Available command line options.
color?: string | boolean
choose color from here or set false to disable coloring
Usage : protractor-flake --parser standard --color=magenta --max-attempts=3 -- conf.js
protractorArgs?: string[]
protractorPath?: string: protractor location like this 'node_modules/.bin/protractor',
Usage : protractor-flake --parser standard --protractorPath=node_modules/.bin/protractor --max-attempts=3 -- conf.js
parser?: string: the name of one of the included parsers
Usage : protractor-flake --parser standard --color=magenta --max-attempts=3 -- conf.js
You can refer other options from here
Option 2: Programmatically
Create file in your root directory as flake and copy below snippet.
flake is a node script that uses protractor-flake to re-run failed tests. Note
that it reruns tests at the file level, so if one test fails, it will rerun all
the tests in that file.
Thanks Brian Ray to this repository
#!/usr/bin/env node
/**
*
* usage:
* `./flake conf.js [other protractor args]`
*/
const protractorFlake = require('protractor-flake');
// skip first two passed args (node and self)
let protractorArgs = process.argv.splice(2);
console.log(protractorArgs);
protractorFlake({
protractorPath: 'node_modules/.bin/protractor',
maxAttempts: 3,
parser: 'standard',
nodeBin: 'node',
protractorArgs: protractorArgs
}, (status, output) => {
process.exit(status);
});
After creating this file, for avoiding permission error's just run chmod +x ./flake
To run your test cases
./flake conf.js
If you are keeping specs in a test suite, just pass after conf.js.
./flake conf.js --suite smoke_test
