Is it possible to specify params in Protractor Deb

Question

I'm using Protractor in Webstorm and in order to use parameters in the terminal I can do protractor --params.url=http://www.google.com/ Is there a way to specify params in this configuration so I don't have to type it every time? In a similar way to the screen below

Answer 1

Here is the configuration that worked for me

• Open WebStorm
• Click ‘Run’ tab
• Select ‘Edit Configurations…’
• Click ‘+’ button on the top left corner of the newly opened window
• Select ‘Node.js’ configuration from the list

Set parameters (following examples were used on windows machine)

• Name: ‘Protractor’
• Node interpreter: ‘C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe’
• Node parameters: ‘’
• Working directory:
• JavaScript file: ‘~\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\built\cli.js’
• Application parameters, this is where you specify path to your conf, relatively to working directory^ and then parameters like this: ‘e2e/settings/configs/protractor.custom.conf.js --baseUrl="https://stage.mysite.com" --params.login="testuser" --params.password="test_USER00"’
• Environment variables: ‘’

This config works great in my project, where we solely rely on async/await syntax

Protractor run configuration doesn't currently support passing command line options to protractor, please vote for WEB-25165 to be notified on any progress with this feature.

However, just as @tehbeardedone has mentioned, params can be specified in protractor config - see How can I use command line arguments in Angularjs Protractor?
