在Mac上找不到Angular量角器/cli.js文件被告知检查我如何安装量角器

Question

I have a massive headache trying to find protractor/built/cli.js file in protractor. I would really appreciate a second opinion.

To locate the cli.js file, I did the following syntax.

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules

I was expecting to find a protractor file in this location. However, I didn't. So I spoke to a person helping me with the protractor in this video here .

I clearly outlined the problem and what I was experiencing.

The response was asked ' how did I installed protractor? ' I told him I installed protractor the standard way using npm install -g protractor command.

His response was ' if installed it should show in node modules '. This response is very confusing to me.

I don't understand what he is trying to say because it's not in nodes modules

So my question is pretty straightforward:

1. Should I run the npm install -g protractor command again so I can find the location?

2. If 1 is not a good idea, how to do I find the protractor file so I can find the cli.js file location so I can run my angular test cases.

Answer 1

Because you install protractor as global package, you need to figure out the install folder path for global package via executing following cmd: npm prefix -g

It will print out a folder path which is the global package install folder. Then you can find build/cli.js from

<global package install folder>/lib/node_modules/protractor/build/cli.js
