If one Expect fails in protractor, will the spec execution continues? - protractor

I have two "expect" in my it block and my first it block failed,it still continues the execution and executing the rest of the code in my it block.
My expectation is, if first it block failed, execution stops right there and next it block should get executed.
it ("My se", function() {
expect(true).toBe(false);// it is failing
//my rest of my below code should not get executed.
My functionality code
expect(array[0]).toBe("foo");
});
it ("Second it block", function() {
//Continue the execution
});
Could some please help me with some idea, how i can achieve this. My execution of that particualr it block should stop and the next it should continue.

Ideally, expect statement should be the last statement of the it block. You need to update the test in that way to achieve the desired results.

How to make Protractor's browser.wait() more verbose?

In Protractor tests I call many times browser.wait method for example to wait once the particular element will appear on the screen or it will be clickable.
In many cases tests passes on my local machine, but does not on other.
I receive very generic information about the timeout which doesn't help me a lot to debug / find a source of issue.
Is it possible to make a browser.wait more verbose, for example:
if at least defaultTimeoutInterval will elapse when waiting for particular element, will it be possible to console.log information about the element that it tried to wait for,
take a screenshot when the timeout error occurs,
provide full call stack when timeout appears in browser.wait
If the main issue is that you don't know for which element the wait timed out, I would suggest writing a helper function for wait and use it instead of wait, something like:
wait = function(variable, variableName,waitingTime){
console.log('Waiting for ' + variableName);
browser.wait(protractor.ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(variablename),waitingTime);
console.log('Success');
}
Because protractor stops executing test after first fail, if wait timed out, console won't print success message after failing to load a certain element.
For screenshots I suggest trying out protractor-jasmine2-screenshot-reporter, it generates an easily readable html report with screenshots and debug information on failed tests (for example, in which code line the failure occured).
Look into using protractor's Expected Condition, you can specify what to wait for and how long to wait for it.
For screenshots there are npm modules out there that can take a screenshot when a test fails. This might help.
browser.wait returns a promise, so catch the error and print/throw something meaningful like:
await browser.wait(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(css), waitingTime).catch((error) =>
{
throw new CustomError(`Could not find ${css} ${error.message}`)
});

Talend ETL - running child job in tLoop

I am trying to run a child job in tLoop. The child job connects to salesforce and downloads "Account" object to local SQL Server table. There are problems with connection to Salesforce, it takes few attempts to connect. Hence, I put the connection stuff in child job and now trying to call the child job in a loop. Below is the image of my parent job.
As you can see in image the tRunJob_1 has error because of Salesforce connection problem in child job. This is correct behaviour.
The setRetryConnect that is connected to OnComponentError has this code: context.retryConnect = true;
The setRetryConnect that is connected to OnComponentOk has this code: context.retryConnect = false;
So, I am tripping this context variable depending on whether child job succeeds or fails.
My tLoop looks as below:
I want the tLoop to run as many times till the condition remains true. That is till the time it continues to error out. However, it just iterates once and then stops. Could anyone please let me know what correction need to be done here to make the tLoop work?
I couldn't re-pro your issue with SalesForce but by looking at your job what I feel is that when you say - "it just iterates once and then stops" is the expected behavior.
As per your job flow after the tRunJob you are using OnComponentOk/OnComponentError trigger which would process and stop the job run as it would have completed the job execution. What it would have ideal was to keep everything in a subjob post tLoop so that it will iterate till the condition is met.
Sample job for explanation -
Here used tSetGlobalVar to define a global variable (in place of your context variable). Then use the globalMap variable as ((Boolean)globalMap.get("tLoop")) in your "Condition" for the tLoop.
And then finally run some code in the tJava component that does something and conditionally sets the global variable to false to mark the ending of loop.
tRunJob provides an Return Code ((Integer)globalMap.get("tRunJob_1_CHILD_RETURN_CODE"))
If you're running your child Job a number of times and want your Job to exit with non-Zero if one of these iterations fails, then after each iteration, you should test this return code and store it in your own globalMap Object if it is non-zero
int returnCode = ((Integer)globalMap.get("tRunJob_1_CHILD_RETURN_CODE"));
if (returnCode > 0) {
globalMap.put("tLoop", false);
}
else {
System.out.println(returnCode);
};
Found the answer myself, posting it here so that it may help others. It appears like OnComponentError breaks the tLoop. Disabled the OnComponentError flow and un-checked the 'Die on Child Error' checkbox in tRunJob.
The tLoop remains as it is. No changes here.
The retryConnect will use the below code. It uses CHILD_RETURN_CODE to check whether the child job threw error. In case of success, its value is 0. I am tripping the variable when the child job succeeds, so the loop will stop. As you can see, the tLoop shows 2 iterations, it is working as expected now. Thanks.

Protractor: Why cucumber steps shows as executed before the actual execution happened

I am new to protractor-cucumber. I am trying to execute below step definition from protractor conf.js.
this.Given(/^I go to sparqHomePage$/, function (callback) {
homepage.goToHomePage()
homepage.login(data[0].UserName,data[0].Password).then(callback);
});
this.Then(/^I create a process$/, function () {
homepage.clickDesign();
homepage.clickFlowDesigner();
console.log(params.flow.procName + ' '+ params.flow.procDesc);
designPage.createNewProc(params.flow.procName, params.flow.procDesc);
});
this.Then(/^I should see process is saved in db$/, function (callback) {
var sql = "select * from process where name = ?";
sql = mysql.format(sql, params.flow.procName);
console.log(sql);
dbConn.query(sql, function(err, rows, fields){
if(!err) {
procDbObj = rows;
console.log(rows);
expect(procDbObj[0].name).to.eventually.equal( params.flow.procName);
expect(procDbObj[0].description).to.eventually.equal(params.flow.procDesc).and.notify(callback);
}
});
});
As soon as I start the execution, the console log shows, feature file execution was completed, but the actual execution is not yet completed.
In my 3rd step I am doing some db validation based on the step 1 and step 2 actions. As cucumber trying to execute all the steps before the completion of real execution with browser, my 3rd test is always failing.
How can I make cucumber to wait for step execution is completed before moving to the next step.
You are calling
homepage.goToHomePage() and homepage.login(data[0].UserName,data[0].Password).then(callback);. Are both methods correct promises that are correctly handled? It now looks like it is calling both methods but giving a direct callback before resolving the promise.
As Ross stated, you can also chain the promises, but first be sure the promises are correctly handled
Edit:
As Ross stated, you can also chain the promises, but first be sure the promises are correctly handled.
You can also return the promise in stead of the callback, just use it as this
this.Given(/^I go to sparqHomePage$/, function () {
homepage.goToHomePage();
return homepage.login(data[0].UserName,data[0].Password);
});
homepage.goToHomePage()
homepage.login(data[0].UserName,data[0].Password).then(callback);
I'm not sure exactly what is happening in the first line but I assume thats going to be doing a click, you will need to make that return a promise and re-write it like
homepage.goToHomePage().then(()=>{
homepage.login(data[0].UserName,data[0].Password).then(callback);
})
And then follow this pattern for the rest of your code as I can see this same issue throughout

protractor what does the timeout in expected conditions stand for?

Protractor: Version 1.8.0
browser.wait(EC.presenceOf(element), 3000);
what exactly does the 3 seconds stand for? and is there an error thrown when 3 seconds have passed and element cannot be found? or does the test just continue?
I ran a test with:
element(by.id('#input')).sendKeys('foo');
browser.wait(EC.presenceOf(element(by.xpath(BAD-LOCATOR)), 3000));
element(by.id('#input')).sendKeys('bar');
BAD-LOCATOR is just a xpath referencing a element that doesn't exists. but upon evaluating this line, the test waits beyond this time until it hits the jasmine defaultTimeoutInterval timeout (I set for 25sec). Why does it not fail in 3 secs since the promise did not get resolved in 3secs? I'm expecting the wait() to fail and the 2nd sendKeys command to execute since its next in control flow.
So the above block of code will print 'foo' into the textbox and on the next command wait until the jasmine timeout to error out (Error: Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within timeout specified by jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL.). I'm expecting an error within 3secs. 'bar'never gets printed.
It's the time out, i mean after 3 seconds if the element isn't present until now it will time out.
For the jasmine error you are getting i suggest that you add the call back
describe("long asynchronous specs", function() {
beforeEach(function(done) {
done();
}, 1000);
You can also refer to Jasmine Asynchronous Support

How to log/dump/outout dom html

I've tried:
console.log(element('.users').html());
but the only thing I get is
LOG: { name: 'element \'.users\' html', fulfilled: false }
I assume you are using Angular scenario runner.
The element().html() dsl returns a future (see wikipedia). You are logging the future that will eventually contain the element, but at the point when you are calling console.log, the future is not resolved yet - there is no value in there.
Try this:
element('.users').query(function(elm, done) {
console.log(elm.html());
done();
});
The whole scenario runner works as a queue. The test code is executed (synchronously) and each command (eg. element().html in your case) adds some action into this queue. Then, these actions are executed asynchronously - once first action finishes (by calling done()), the second action is executed, etc... Therefore the individual actions can be asynchronous, but the test code is synchronous, which is more readable.
