packaging protractor test script and the dependencies into one file

Question

Now I make my protractor to work. Then I have another question: How to package the spec files and all the dependencies into one file, such as rpm or other format, so I can easily install it on another machine to run it? I searched the Internet and found some tools to package the javascript and CSS and images used in web page. But in my case, I only need to package the javascript I write to do the testing to one file.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Answer 1

The short answer is that's not possible.

When you run protractor on a fresh machine you need to have

1. an instance of selenium-webdriver server running (with all the browsers you want to test)
2. nodejs

But, assuming that the new computer you run protractor in has nodejs and selenium-webdriver is set up (ie either the local computer has it running, or you're testing over network like using saucelabs), then I guess you can zip up the file to send as one file.
