npm install

./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update

./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager start

Run

./node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor protractorConf.js
or
./node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor protractorConf.js --tags "@this and not @that"

Running types

Sequential

Just keep shardTestFiles as false and the features you specify will be run sequentially.

Parallel

In order to run in parallel open protractorConf.js and set shardTestFiles to true, please make sure to set maxInstances to a certain number so that it does not kill your resources.

• If you use parallel option then a browser will be open for every feature that you have under features folder.

Report

In order to generate the report correctly,

• if you run sequentially just write in command line

  node generateReport.js

• if you run in parallel then you will have to first do

  node reportsMerger.js

  and then

  node generateReport.js
