I am writing a protractor test case to compare the name(s) of the displayed data is same as the searched name.
Even though my test case works fine, I am not able to understand what is happening. Because when i expect the name to compare, it compares as expected, but when i print the elementFinder's(rowData)(i have attached the output screen shot here) value in console.log, it show a huge list of some values which i am not able to understand?
PS: I am a newbie to protractor`
This is the testCase:
it('should show proper data for given last name', function () {
var searchValue='manning';
searchBox.sendKeys(searchValue);
search.click();
element.all(by.binding('row.loanNumber')).count().then(function(value) {
var loanCount = value;
for (var i = 0; i < loanCount; i++) {
var rowData = element.all(by.binding('row.borrowerName')).get(i).getText();
expect(rowData).toMatch(searchValue.toUpperCase());
console.log(rowData,'*****',searchValue.toUpperCase());
}
});
});`
And give me valuable suggestions about my style of code
rowData is a promise (not a value), so when you console.log it, you get the promise object
Protractor patches Jasmine to automatically resolve promises within the expect(), so that's how it knows to resolve the value and compare to the expected result.
If you want to console.log the value, you need to resolve the promise with .then() to get the value.
rowData.then(function(rowDataText) {
console.log(rowDataText);
)}
This is pretty much everyone's first question when they start using protractor. You will want to learn how promises work if you want a good understanding of how to manipulate them.

I'm starting to learn about mongoose/MongoDB aggregation functions, and am having some basic difficulties. For example, I'm trying to do the following:
var myModels= require('./models/myModel');
var myCount = myModels.countDocuments({userID: "A"});
console.log(myCount );
I just want to count the number of documents with userID of "A" but when this prints to the console, it's printing as a whole object, instead of just a numerical count. I've read the answer here but I'm still not able to solve this problem (also, is there a way, unlike in that question, to return the count directly rather than having to predefine a variable and set it in a callback function?)
I'm trying to follow the guide here and don't see where I'm going wrong.
It's because the return value of countDocuments is a promise and not a number.
You either need to wait for that Promise or use callback syntax like so:
var myModels= require('./models/myModel');
// this required the code to be inside an async function
var myCount = await myModels.countDocuments({userID: "A"});
console.log(myCount);
Or:
var myModels= require('./models/myModel');
myModels.countDocuments({userID: "A"})
.then((myCount) =>{console.log(myCount);});
I want to get all the values from a registration page and store all values in an array. How can I do that in protractor?
var arr = new Array(); //declare array
InputName.getAttribute("value")
.then(function(value){
arr[0]=value; // want to store promise value in an array
});
console.log(arr[0]);
If you run your code, it will first log arr[0] and then resolve Promise. Therefore, you may access that array's values in the next Promise. Something like this
var arr = new Array(); // <- this is by the way bad practice, use 'let arr = [];'
InputName.getAttribute("value")
.then(function(value) {
arr[0]=value; // I would use arr.push(value)
});
anotherInput.getAttribute("value")
.then(function(value) {
console.log(arr[0]); // your value should be accessible here
arr.push(value) // push another value
});
But, honestly, I've been working with Protractor fo a while now and I still have difficulties understanding promises... This why I'm using async/await in my tests so if I were to implement something like that I would end up having the following
let arr = [];
let value1 = await InputName.getAttribute("value");
arr.push(value1);
console.log(arr[0]);
Clear, neat code with no hustle. Plus protractor team is actually removing promise_manager, so one day when you update it your code will not work anymore. Then why not switch earlier
I'm unable to get value from h2 tag using protractor.
Html Code:
<h2 class="ng-binding">7</h2>
I need this 7 value. This is from website "http://juliemr.github.io/protractor-demo/". I am adding 5+2.
Appreciate your help.
Try xpath
Here I am getting the element with ID, moving one position back and then looking for the h2
var result = element(by.xpath('//*[#id=\'gobutton\']/../h2'))
result.getText().then(function(value){
expect(value).toBe('7');
})
Or look directly to the h2:
element(by.xpath('//h2[#class='ng-binding']'))
In case you plan to always have 7 as a result then you can also look for the cssContainingText
var result = element.all(by.cssContainingText('.ng-binding', '7')).first();
in this case I am using .all and .first because this will return 2 elements so I am telling protractor to use always the first one
So your code should be something like this:
it('Should access the page and perform sum', function() {
browser.get('http://juliemr.github.io/protractor-demo/');
element(by.model('first')).sendKeys(5);
element(by.model('second')).sendKeys(2);
element(by.id('gobutton')).click();
var result = element(by.xpath('//*[#id=\'gobutton\']/../h2'))
result.getText().then(function(value){
console.log('result is '+value)
expect(value).toBe('7');
})
});
As per the url given, After clicking Go it loads for some time. So add some wait and then try to getText() with the below locator.
browser.sleep(5000);
element(by.css('form>h2.ng-binding')).getText().then((text: String) =>{
expect(text).toBe("7");
})
Hope it helps you...
First, you find the element, for example with a by.css call. Then you use getText method to retrieve the desired tag content. Finally, you assert it to be equal to the value you expect:
result = element(by.css('h2.ng-binding'))
expect(result.getText()).toEqual('7')
I am new to jayData and am trying to filter on an entity set. The filter needs to perform an complex evaluation beyond what I saw in the samples.
Here is a working sample of what I am trying to accomplish (the listView line isn't and is just there to show what I plan to do with the data):
function () {
var weekday = moment().isoWeekday()-1;
console.log(weekday);
var de = leagueDB.DailyEvents.toArray(function (events) {
console.log(events);
var filtered = [];
for (var e = 0; e < events.length;e++) {
console.log(events[e]);
console.log(events[e].RecurrenceRule);
var rule = RRule.fromString(events[e].RecurrenceRule);
var ruleOptions = rule.options.byweekday;
var isDay = ruleOptions.indexOf(weekday);
console.log(ruleOptions, isDay);
if(isDay =! -1)
{
filtered.push(events[e]);
}
}
$("#listView").kendoListView({dataSource:filtered});
});
Basically it is just evaluating a recurring rule string to see if the current day meets that criteria, if so add that event to the list for viewing.
But it blows up when I try to do this:
eventListLocal:leagueDB.DailyEvents.filter(function(e){
console.log("The Weekday is:"+viewModel.weekday);
console.log(e);
console.log("The recurrence rule is:"+e.RecurrenceRule);
var rruleOptions = viewModel.rruleOptions(e.RecurrenceRule);
if (rruleOptions !== -1) {
return true;
}
}).asKendoDataSource()
The error that is generating is:
Exception: Unable to resolve type:undefined
The thing is it seems to be occurring on "e" and the console logs like the event is not being passed in. However, I am not seeing a list either. In short I am really confused as to what is going on.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
You can't write filter expressions such as this.
When you write .filter(...), jaydata will parse your expression and then it will generate filter for underlying provider, for example where for webSql and $filter for oDataProvider.
Both JayData expression parser and the data provider itself should understand your filter.
Your filter is not suitable for this approach, because most of your codes are not familiar for jaydata expression parser and the underlying data provider, for example your console.log etc.
You can simplify your filter, or you should load all your data into an array, and then you can use filter method of array itself, there, you can write any filter you like, and your filter will work. Of course this has performance issue in some scenarios when your data set is large.

I have a publication, essentially what's below:
Meteor.publish('entity-filings', function publishFunction(cik, queryArray, limit) {
if (!cik || !filingsArray)
console.error('PUBLICATION PROBLEM');
var limit = 40;
var entityFilingsSelector = {};
if (filingsArray.indexOf('all-entity-filings') > -1)
entityFilingsSelector = {ct: 'filing',cik: cik};
else
entityFilingsSelector = {ct:'filing', cik: cik, formNumber: { $in: filingsArray} };
return SB.Content.find(entityFilingsSelector, {
limit: limit
});
});
I'm having trouble with the filingsArray part. filingsArray is an array of regexes for the Mongo $in query. I can hardcode filingsArray in the publication as [/8-K/], and that returns the correct results. But I can't get the query to work properly when I pass the array from the router. See the debugged contents of the array in the image below. The second and third images are the client/server debug contents indicating same content on both client and server, and also identical to when I hardcode the array in the query.
My question is: what am I missing? Why won't my query work, or what are some likely reasons it isn't working?
In that first screenshot, that's a string that looks like a regex literal, not an actual RegExp object. So {$in: ["/8-K/"]} will only match literally "/8-K/", which is not the same as {$in: [/8-K/]}.
Regexes are not EJSON-able objects, so you won't be able to send them over the wire as publish function arguments or method arguments or method return values. I'd recommend sending a string, then inside the publish function, use new RegExp(...) to construct a regex object.
If you're comfortable adding new methods on the RegExp prototype, you could try making RegExp an EJSON-able type, by putting this in your server and client code:
RegExp.prototype.toJSONValue = function () {
return this.source;
};
RegExp.prototype.typeName = function () {
return "regex";
}
EJSON.addType("regex", function (str) {
return new RegExp(str);
});
After doing this, you should be able to use regexes as publish function arguments, method arguments and method return values. See this meteorpad.
/8-K/.. that's a weird regex. Try /8\-K/.
A minus (-) sign is a range indicator and usually used inside square brackets. The reason why it's weird because how could you even calculate a range between 8 and K? If you do not escape that, it probably wouldn't be used to match anything (thus your query would not work). Sometimes, it does work though. Better safe than never.
/8\-K/ matches the string "8-K" anywhere once.. which I assume you are trying to do.
Also it would help if you would ensure your publication would always return something.. here's a good area where you could fail:
if (!cik || !filingsArray)
console.error('PUBLICATION PROBLEM');
If those parameters aren't filled, console.log is probably not the best way to handle it. A better way:
if (!cik || !filingsArray) {
throw "entity-filings: Publication problem.";
return false;
} else {
// .. the rest of your publication
}
This makes sure that the client does not wait unnecessarily long for publications statuses as you have successfully ensured that in any (input) case you returned either false or a Cursor and nothing in between (like surprise undefineds, unfilled Cursors, other garbage data.
