UseAngular

Instructs the Actor to enable or disable automated synchronisation between Protractor and Angular.

Useful when a test scenario needs to interact with both Angular-based and non-Angular web apps (i.e. use an external sign on form).

More examples in Cross-application testing with Serenity/JS.

Please note if your tests interact with a non-Angular app you can disable synchronisation altogether in protractor.conf.js.

Extends:

Interaction → UseAngular

Examples:

Disabling synchronisation temporarily
 import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core';
 import { BrowseTheWeb, UseAngular, Navigate } from '@serenity-js/protractor';
 import { protractor } from 'protractor';

 actorCalled('Angie')
     .whoCan(BrowseTheWeb.using(protractor.browser))
     .attemptsTo(
         UseAngular.disableSynchronisation(),
         Navigate.to('https://mycompany.com/login'),
         // navigate to a non-Angular app, perform some activities...

         UseAngular.disableSynchronisation(),
         Navigate.to('https://myapp.com'),
         // navigate to an Angular app, perform some more activities...
     );
Disabling synchronisation in protractor.conf.js
 exports.config = {
     onPrepare: function () {
         return browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
     },
     // ... other config
 };
