Choosing a framework for Angular apps testing.
ReportPoll
What would you choose and why?
Actually the best options are:
1. Protractor.js
https://github.com/angular/protractor
2. Protractor Ruby
https://github.com/bootstraponline/angular_automation
3. Other
Any other frameworks?
Language doesn't matter – both are good.
Have in mention that Ruby suits testing better than Java. Would you still choose Protractor.js?

Report CancelIf that, I suggest use Protractor JS, 3 reasons as I know:
1- It was born for web application using Angular JS framework, so it supports Angular specific locator. It will save your time/your effort to to setup.
2- One more thing, because it based on the framework , it will automatically execute the next steps in your test. It means you dont need to add the sleep, or wait method like another framework.
3- Basically, it uses like Webdriver (JS) so it works as interact like user - browser <-- it's the reasons why we call it as e2e testing.
Also, I'm fan of BDD :smile: so if you like, try to use Protractor JS and Cucumber. This is the basic reference links about it : http://nicholasjackson.github.io/agile/bdd/angular/protractor/cucumber/protractor-cucumber/
Hope it helps and happy coding.

Report CancelIt's really tricky question for me :D . Yes, when changing from Angular to Angular JS 2.0, the API change, the method to call change as I know.
Let's say we have an element like: (just example)
In your test, will be (I assume :D) :
element( by.model('commentText') )
When upgrading 2.0, the attribute "ng-model" will be changed to another then you cannot catch the element.
IMO, I think it depends on the way you catch the element in code, it might be:
var cls = SelectById(elementId).GetAttribute("class");
<-- then when it changed, you can change the attribute also. Beside it, we have "contains" right?
It's just my think, please correct me if I'm wrong.
P/s: I see in your framework, you use "Chai" , what's the difference between Chai and another frameworks?

Report CancelYep, I totally agree with you about how to catch the element. So I haven't tried it on Angularjs 2.0 yet :D. I just wonder one thing in Javascript, it will be changing very fast. When a beautiful day, developers will propose another JS fw, hix. If we can not have this mindset, may be current framework will be thrown out.
