Running Test cases sequentially in Protractor

Question

I want to know how I can run test cases sequentially in a test suite. For an example, loading a URL, login to the system etc.

Answer 1

Check the protractor.conf.js example.

You could specify a glob that will load files in alphabetical order, or pass a list that forces sequential execution in the order you specify.

specs: [
    'test/stories/login.js',
    'test/stories/home/overview.js',
    'test/stories/home/purchase/widget.js'
],

and so on. I would not recommend forcing tests to execute in an exact order between spec files, since this means you'll have a hard time isolating just certain parts of tests later when they break. You'll be forced to always run the whole suite every time.
