2 things to look at

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Generates Protractor E2E tests for Angular/AngularJS apps in JS/TS. NOTE: Protractor is officially deprecated — recommend Playwright or Cypress. Use when user mentions "Protractor", "element(by.model())", "Angular E2E". Triggers on: "Protractor", "element(by.model)", "Angular E2E test", "protractor.conf".

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Core Patterns

Basic Test

describe('Login', () => {
  beforeEach(async () => {
    await browser.get('/login');
  });

  it('should login with valid credentials', async () => {
    await element(by.model('email')).sendKeys('[email protected]');
    await element(by.model('password')).sendKeys('password123');
    await element(by.css('button[type="submit"]')).click();
    expect(await browser.getCurrentUrl()).toContain('/dashboard');
    expect(await element(by.css('.welcome')).getText()).toContain('Welcome');
  });

  it('should show error for invalid credentials', async () => {
    await element(by.model('email')).sendKeys('[email protected]');
    await element(by.model('password')).sendKeys('wrong');
    await element(by.css('button[type="submit"]')).click();
    expect(await element(by.css('.error')).isDisplayed()).toBe(true);
  });
});

Angular-Specific Locators

element(by.model('ctrl.email'));                      // ng-model
element(by.binding('ctrl.username'));                  // Angular binding
element(by.exactBinding('ctrl.name'));                // Exact binding
element(by.repeater('item in items'));                // ng-repeat
element.all(by.repeater('item in items')).count();   // Count repeater
element(by.cssContainingText('.item', 'Active'));     // CSS + text
element(by.buttonText('Submit'));                      // Button text
element(by.partialButtonText('Sub'));                  // Partial text

Page Objects

class LoginPage {
  constructor() {
    this.emailInput = element(by.model('email'));
    this.passwordInput = element(by.model('password'));
    this.loginButton = element(by.css('button[type="submit"]'));
    this.errorMessage = element(by.css('.error'));
  }

  async login(email, password) {
    await this.emailInput.sendKeys(email);
    await this.passwordInput.sendKeys(password);
    await this.loginButton.click();
  }
}

// Usage
const loginPage = new LoginPage();
await loginPage.login('[email protected]', 'password123');

protractor.conf.js

exports.config = {
  framework: 'jasmine',
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  specs: ['specs/**/*.spec.js'],
  capabilities: { browserName: 'chrome' },
  jasmineNodeOpts: { defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000 },
  onPrepare: () => {
    browser.waitForAngularEnabled(true);
  }
};

Migration Guide

Protractor	Playwright
`element(by.model('x'))`	`page.locator('[ng-model="x"]')`
`element(by.css('#id'))`	`page.locator('#id')`
`browser.get(url)`	`page.goto(url)`
`element.sendKeys(text)`	`locator.fill(text)`
`browser.sleep(ms)`	`page.waitForTimeout(ms)`
`browser.waitForAngular()`	Not needed (auto-wait)

Cloud Execution on TestMu AI

Set environment variables: LT_USERNAME, LT_ACCESS_KEY

// conf.js
exports.config = {
  seleniumAddress: `https://${process.env.LT_USERNAME}:${process.env.LT_ACCESS_KEY}@hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub`,
  capabilities: {
    browserName: 'chrome',
    'LT:Options': {
      user: process.env.LT_USERNAME,
      accessKey: process.env.LT_ACCESS_KEY,
      build: 'Protractor Build',
      name: 'Protractor Test',
      platformName: 'Windows 11',
      video: true,
      console: true,
      network: true,
    },
  },
};

Run: `npx protractor conf.js` (deprecated, use Playwright/Cypress instead)
