This project is set up to give a first look at how protractor might be used for testing. It is very rough and a work in progress.

Setup

Download protractor

  npm install -g protractor

Clone this repository into a local directory

	git clone

Update and start the webdriver in one terminal.

  webdriver-manager update
  webdriver-manager start

If it doesnt start or it downloads version 4.0.0-alpha-1 or something corrupted, instead do: webdriver-manager clean webdriver-manager update --standalone --versions.standalone=3.8.0 webdriver-manager start --versions.standalone=3.8.0

According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55835805/invalid-or-corrupt-jar-file-when-trying-to-start-selenium-server-from-intellij

Open another terminal window to run protractor.

Currently protractor is using and has been tested with the chrome browser. Firefox may also be used. This choice is made in conf.js

Use

Basic usage

  protractor conf.js

Parameters to add:

Vireo4 Hosted URL

	--params.baseurl=https://test-etd.tdl.org
		#set the base url of the vireo4 service
		#default: http://127.0.0.1:9000

Sign In

	--params.signin=account
		#this will trigger a search for a file called *account.json* in the current directory
		this file should have an email and pwd attributes, for example;
	{
		"email":"[your_email_address]",
		"pwd":"[your_vireo4_password_for_that_account]"
	}

	--params.account=test1@example.com --params.password=password

	--params.signin=shib
		#uses the test shibboleth account - this is the default

Actions to perform

	--params.perform=settings
		#sign in, open vireo for submissions, then sign out

	--params.perform=firstsubmission
		#create a randomly named institution, create a first submission, then sign out

	--params.perform=submission
		#create a randomly named institution, create a subsequent submission, then sign out

Examples

The operation below assumes you are testing a vireo4 instance at the default url of http://127.0.0.1:9000.

If the vireo4 instance you are testing is freshly installed and not open for submissions you will first need to invoke;

protractor conf.js --params.perform=settings

After that, to create a first new organization and submission;

protractor conf.js --params.perform=firstsubmission

To create an organization and submission after the first one;

protractor conf.js --params.perform=submission

This is necessary until the code can properly sense if a submission table already exists.
