E/protractor - Could not find Angular on page http://localhost:8080/ : retries looking for angular exceeded

  • 772

Well this is the error I get when I run protractor:

Failed: Angular could not be found on the page http://localhost:8080/ . If this is not an Angular application, you may need to turn off waiting for Angular.

The only thing I've done is change node versions to 7 , and install protractor and phantomjs , and when I run the protractor tests/tests.js command I get that error.

tests.js:

exports.config = {
    seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
    chromeOnly: true,
    specs: ["e2e/TC01-loadFilm.js"]

};

AngularJS and Bootstrap is installed in a /public folder, both my /public and /tests folders are in the root of the project, I don't know if that will be the problem.

    I have collected some information and it seems that there are two possible solutions. The simplest is to add ng-appin your body tag as follows:

    <body ng-app>

    That would make protractor understand that it is in an angular project.

    The other solution would be to add the node_modules typescript path to the root of the typescript in your application configuration like so:

    "typeRoots": [
   "../node_modules/@types"
]

    this would go in the filetsconfig.e2e.json
