This project demonstrates the basic protractor-cucumber-typescript framework project setup.

Protractor-Cucumber-TypeScript Setup Guide

Medium Article

Please do checkout my medium article which would give you more insight on this setup. protractor-cucumber-typescript(Medium)

Features

• No typings.json or typings folder, they have been replaced by better '@types' modules in package.json.
• ts-node(typescript execution environment for node) in cucumberOpts.
• All scripts written with > Typescript2.0 & Cucumber2.0.
• Neat folder structures with transpiled js files in separate output folder.
• Page Object design pattern implementation.
• Extensive hooks implemented for BeforeFeature, AfterScenarios etc.
• Screenshots on failure feature scenarios.

To Get Started

Pre-requisites

1.NodeJS installed globally in the system. https://nodejs.org/en/download/

2.Chrome or Firefox browsers installed.

3.Text Editor(Optional) installed-->Sublime/Visual Studio Code/Brackets.

Setup Scripts

• Clone the repository into a folder
• Go inside the folder and run following command from terminal/command prompt

npm install 

• All the dependencies from package.json and ambient typings would be installed in node_modules folder.

Run Scripts

• First step is to fire up the selenium server which could be done in many ways, webdriver-manager proves very handy for this.The below command should download the chrome & gecko driver binaries locally for you!

npm run webdriver-update

• Then you should start your selenium server!

npm run webdriver-start

• The below command would create an output folder named 'typeScript' and transpile the .ts files to .js.

npm run build

• Now just run the test command which launches the Chrome Browser and runs the scripts.

npm test

Writing Features

Feature: To search typescript in google
@TypeScriptScenario

  Scenario: Typescript Google Search
    Given I am on google page
    When I type "Typescript"
    Then I click on search button
    Then I clear the search text

Writing Step Definitions

import { browser } from "protractor";
import { SearchPageObject } from "../pages/searchPage";
const { Given } = require("cucumber");
const chai = require("chai").use(require("chai-as-promised"));
const expect = chai.expect;

const search: SearchPageObject = new SearchPageObject();

Given(/^I am on google page$/, async () => {
    await expect(browser.getTitle()).to.eventually.equal("Google");
});

Writing Page Objects

import { $ } from "protractor";

export class SearchPageObject {
    public searchTextBox: any;
    public searchButton: any;

    constructor() {
        this.searchTextBox = $("#lst-ib");
        this.searchButton = $("input[value='Google Search']");
    }
}

Cucumber Hooks

Following method takes screenshot on failure of each scenario

After(async function(scenario) {
    if (scenario.result.status === Status.FAILED) {
        // screenShot is a base-64 encoded PNG
         const screenShot = await browser.takeScreenshot();
         this.attach(screenShot, "image/png");
    }
});

CucumberOpts Tags

Following configuration shows to call specific tags from feature files

cucumberOpts: {
    compiler: "ts:ts-node/register",
    format: "json:./reports/json/cucumber_report.json",
    require: ["../../stepdefinitions/*.ts", "../../support/*.ts"],
    strict: true,
    tags: "@TypeScriptScenario or @CucumberScenario or @ProtractorScenario",
},

HTML Reports

Currently this project has been integrated with cucumber-html-reporter, which is generated in the reports folder when you run npm test. They can be customized according to user's specific needs.
