I have seen a couple questions online related to this issue (How to set default browser window size in Protractor/WebdriverJS) but they don't address my issue.
I have the tests that I want to be able to run successfully on a laptop screen or desktop screen of ant size. I had tried all of these methods below but unsuccesfully.
The issue with this one is that I have to hardcode a width and height. I want to detect the screen size automatically
browser.driver.manage().window().setSize(width, height);
The issue with this one is that it only seems to maximize the height and not the width.
browser.driver.manage().window().maximize();
I want to be able to get the screen's height and width and plug those in for the .setSize() function. But when I try this
browser.driver.manage().window().setSize(screen.width, screen.height);
I get ReferenceError: screen is not defined
If I try console.log($(window));
then window is not defined either
So what the best way to do this?
Protractor Browser Window Commands - Maximize Browser Window The browser window can be maximized using the Maximize command. Purpose: The function maximize() in the Window class is used to maximize the browser window.
To do this is quite simple in protractor. Adding the shardTestFiles and maxInstences to your capabilities config should allow you to (in this case) run at most two test in parrallel. Increase the maxInstences to increase the number of tests run. Note : be careful not to set the number too high.
Testing Against Multiple Browsers If you would like to test against multiple browsers, use the multiCapabilities configuration option. Protractor will run tests in parallel against each set of capabilities. Please note that if multiCapabilities is defined, the runner will ignore the capabilities configuration.
In case of Chrome on Mac OS X, the following didn't make the browser maximized for me:
browser.driver.manage().window().maximize();
In this case, you need to either switch to Firefox, or start Chrome with --start-maximized
:
capabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
args: [
'--start-maximized'
]
}
}
We set browser size in onPrepare
block in protractor.conf.js:
onPrepare: function() {
browser.driver.manage().window().maximize();
},
not sure if this helps you with your second issue ..?
