browser object converting angularjs e2e test to protractor

Question

Here is some code from an angularjs e2e test.

expect(browser().location().url()).toBe('/phones');

Protractor gives this error.

TypeError: Property 'browser' of object # is not a function

In particular, how can I change the line to fix the protractor error? In general, where can I find docs on the webdriverjs browser object?

Answer 1

You can use:

//using full URL
expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toEqual('http://host:port/your/url/phones');

//or using baseUrl
expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toEqual(browser.baseUrl + '/phones');

You can find the API here.

And this is what I got when using console.log(browser);:
