protractor angularJS global variables

Question

I\'m using protractor with angularjs to create my e2e tests. I have many files for which my specs array is quite big and I want to share a common function across all files.

Answer 1

Yes, you can easily do that using the onPrepare()hook in the protractor configuration:

exports.config = {
    // ...

    // A callback function called once protractor is ready and available, and
    // before the specs are executed
    // You can specify a file containing code to run by setting onPrepare to
    // the filename string.
    onPrepare: function() {
        // you can also add properties to globals here
    }
 };
