Protractor E2E Test - How can I get a Table Heading by its repeater?

Question

Looking at this topic , I can get the information for a table heading by it's class/tags. However, for the table I have I would like to get mine using the repeater.

I know I can get the rows using element.all(by.repeater('row in myRows')) but that only seems to include the tr rows themselves, and not the heading ( th ) row.

How can I use by.repeater to get the row of headings?

Answer 1

One option would be to get one repeater row and use ancestor to get the table parent element. Then, you can get to the th header elements from there:

var rows = element.all(by.repeater('row in myRows'));
var table = rows.first().all(by.xpath("ancestor::table")).last();
var headers = table.all(by.tagName("th"));
