This library is deprecated and won’t be updated in future, since protractor support is ending as well: https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/5502

generator-modern-protractor

Yeoman generator for ProtractorJS projects. Generates new project with ProtractorJS using most modern and shiny approaches.

Whats inside?

• ProtractorJS 5.4.2
• TypeScript 3.5.3
• JasmineJS (as Protractor 5.4.2 dependency)
• Async/Await support, WebdriverJS ControlFlow is disabled
• PageObjects using ES6 classes
• PageFragments (Components) using protractor-element-extend library
• Additional jasmine-protractor-matchers to verify elements visibility easily
• Reporting made possible by nice console reporter and junit.xml reporter (to provide test results to your CI system)
• If you are using Visual Studio Code IDE - debug with TypeScript compilation is configured
• Post conditions are added - wiping cookies, local and session storage after each test

Installation and generation of project

First, install Yeoman and generator-modern-protractor using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-modern-protractor

Make new folder for your project, and open it:

mkdir my-shiny-automation-project
cd my-shiny-automation-project

Then generate your new project (will be unpacked in current location, no subfolder):

yo modern-protractor

Follow instructions that will appear in terminal, to provide project name and baseUrl properties.

After generation, dependencies should be installed automatically, chromedriver downloaded and super-simple test will be executed. If everyting is passed correctly - you are good to go! Open README.MD in newly generated project and follow its instructions.
