Error attempting to retrieve CODE sent to gmail account using MailListener Protractor/Jasmine end to end Test - email

Question

I have already installed MailListener
npm install mail-listener2 --save-dev
In My Config.js file, I have
exports.config = {
directConnect: true,
capabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
},
framework: 'jasmine2',
onPrepare: function () {
var AllureReporter = require('jasmine-allure-reporter');
var AllureReporter = require('../index');
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new AllureReporter({
resultsDir: 'allure-results'
}));
// Mail Listener
var MailListener = require("mail-listener2");
// here goes your email connection configuration
var mailListener = new MailListener({
username: "myemail#gmail.com",
password: "mygmailpassword!",
host: "imap.gmail.com",
port: 993, // imap port
tls: true,
tlsOptions: { rejectUnauthorized: false },
mailbox: "INBOX", // mailbox to monitor
searchFilter: ["UNSEEN", "FLAGGED"], // the search filter being used after an IDLE notification has been retrieved
markSeen: true, // all fetched email willbe marked as seen and not fetched next time
fetchUnreadOnStart: true, // use it only if you want to get all unread email on lib start. Default is `false`,
mailParserOptions: { streamAttachments: true }, // options to be passed to mailParser lib.
attachments: true, // download attachments as they are encountered to the project directory
attachmentOptions: { directory: "attachments/" } // specify a download directory for attachments
});
mailListener.start();
mailListener.on("server:connected", function () {
console.log("... Mail listener initialized");
});
global.mailListener = mailListener;
},
onCleanUp: function () {
mailListener.stop();
},
// Spec patterns are relative to the current working directory when
// protractor is called.
specs: [
'../e2e/login_spec.js'
],
// Options to be passed to Jasmine.
jasmineNodeOpts: {
defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
}
};
in my login_spec.js file i have the function
function getLastEmail() {
var deferred = protractor.promise.defer();
console.log("Waiting for an email...");
mailListener.on("mail", function(mail){
deferred.fulfill(mail);
});
return deferred.promise;
};
In the Same login_spec.js
i am trying
var loginData = require('../data.json');
var Login_Objects = require('../page_objects/login_objects');
describe('2Factor Login:', function () {
dataProvider(loginData, function (data) {
Login_Objects.EnterUserName(data.username)
Login_Objects.EnterUserName(data.password)
Login_Objects.ClickLogin()
//Code is sent to email
browser.controlFlow().wait(getLastEmail()).then(function (email){
var pattern = /Code for your transfer (\w+)/g;
var regCode = pattern.exec(email.text)[1];
console.log("Registration code : = "+regCode);
//Pass the code to my methods in the objects file.
//Login_Objects.Enter2FactorCode(regCode)
//Login_Objects.ClickVerify()
})
})
})
here my Login_Objects.Enter2FactorCode(regCode) method will just send keys to the 2factor webelement [but i am not yet at that stage]
At this point i am expecting the email to be printed by the function
console.log("Registration code : = "+regCode);
On the Console I am Getting the message :
... Mail listener initialized
NOTE: I have already allowed unsecure apps to access that gmail account
Findings:
I am getting an error
Error: Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within timeout specified by jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL.
