组织3种环境的测试用例

Question

I am new to protractor. I have created my test cases for the development environment and it works fine. Now I have to move my test cases for the production and QA.

Since the code in 3 environment is same I don't want to create duplicate code for all the 3 environment.

In short If I run my code for development I should do

protractor conf.js -dev

for production

protractor conf.js -production.

-dev and -production are the respective url. Can anyone tell me a way I can achieve it? or should I create 3 conf.js file for the 3 environments?

Answer 1

Best way is, just send the environment type(QA,DEV,PROD) while running protractor from command prompt and before running, you need to add params section on conf.js file as shown below:

1-on conf.js :

 params: {
         environment:null
  }

2-pass environment value from command prompt

 protractor --params.environment='QA' conf.js

Based on environment value, you can assign the url to baseUrl parameter inside the:

onPrepare:function(){
   if(browser.params.environement=QA){
      browser.baseUrl="QA URL"
     }
   else{
      browser.baseUrl="PROD URL"
   }
 };

Answer 2

Pass it in as a command line option.

protractor --baseUrl='http://www.productionUrl.com' conf.js

Using command line arguments will also override any setting you have in your config file. So if your config file had the setting baseUrl='http://www.test.com' , it will take the Url you passed in the command line instead of the config file.

It's personal preference though, I myself have several config files (different browsers, environments etc). I use the same config 95% of the time, but every once in awhile it's nice to have the others just for quick access to a specific browser/environment/whatever. Plus I don't have to type as much :)
