Interacting with websites and web apps​

import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
import { Ensure, equals } from '@serenity-js/assertions'
import { By, Navigate, Target, Text } from '@serenity-js/web'
import { BrowseTheWebWithProtractor } from '@serenity-js/protractor'
import { protractor } from 'protractor'

// example Lean Page Object describing a widget we interact with in the test
class SerenityJSWebsite {
    static header = () =>
        PageElement.located(By.css('h1'))   // selector to identify the interactable element
            .describedAs('header')          // description to be used in reports
}

// example Jasmine test
describe('Serenity/JS', () => {
    
    it('works with Protractor and Jasmine', async () => {
        await actorCalled('Priya')
            .whoCan(
                BrowseTheWebWithProtractor.using(protractor.browser)
            )
            .attemptsTo(
                Navigate.to('https://serenity-js.org'),
                Ensure.that(
                    Text.of(SerenityJSWebsite.header()), 
                    equals('Next generation acceptance testing')
                ),
            )
