How to check a site without angular with js protractor?

Question

I look all over the internet, but there seems to be no reliable resources or examples that test websites without angular with JS protractor.

Currently, my conf file looks like this:

 exports.config = {
  seleniumServerJar: 'webdriver/selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar',
  specs: [
    'wikipedia-test-spec.js'
  ], 
  chromeDriver : 'webdriver/chromedriver.exe',

  multiCapabilities: [
    {
        'browserName': 'chrome'
    }
  ],

  };

And my wikipedia-test-spec.js looks like this

describe("Tests a wikipedia page", function(){
     it('Should check if table exists', function(){
            browser.get('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population');
            var table = browser.driver.findElement(by.name('table'));
            expect(table.isPresent()).toBeTruthy();
    });

});

When I run protractor conf.js, I get a type error undefined is not a functionand my spec is not working.

Answer 1

isPresent()the function is available in the instance ElementFinderthat is the result of the call element(). You may need it driver.isElementPresent()here:

var table = browser.driver.findElement(by.name('table'));
expect(table.isPresent()).toBeTruthy();

from:

var table = browser.driver.findElement(by.name('table'));
expect(browser.driver.isElementPresent(table)).toBeTruthy();

Or you can also try with element():

var table = element(by.name('table'));
expect(table.isPresent()).toBeTruthy();

---

, AngularJS:

browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;

:

• protractor, browser.isElementPresent vs element.isPresent vs element.isElementPresent
