Protractor Flake

Rerun potentially flakey protractor tests before failing.

npm i protractor-flake

# or globally for easier cli usage
npm i -g protractor-flake

Usage

Via the CLI:

npm i -g protractor-flake

# Default options
protractor-flake

# Full options
# protractor-flake <protractor-flake-options> -- <options to be passed to protractor>
protractor-flake --protractor-path=/path/to/protractor --parser standard --node-bin node --max-attempts=3 -- path/to/protractor.conf.js

Protractor flake expects protractor to be on $PATH by default, but you can use the --protractor-path argument to point to the protractor executable.

Or programmatically:

var protractorFlake = require('protractor-flake');

// Default Options
protractorFlake({
  parser: 'standard'
}, function (status, output) {
  proces.exit(status)
})

// Full Options
protractorFlake({
  protractorPath: '/path/to/protractor',
  maxAttempts: 3,
  parser: 'standard',
  // expects node to be in path
  // set this to wherever the node bin is located
  nodeBin: 'node',
  protractorArgs: []
}, function (status, output) {
  process.exit(status);
});

Parsers

Protractor flake defaults to using the standard parser, which will typically pick up failures run from non-sharded/multi-capability test runs using Jasmine 1 + 2 and Mocha.

You can override this with the parser option, specifying one of the built in parsers.

Caveats

This has not yet been tested with Protractor + Mocha. It should function similarly. Please update with an issue or PR if this is not the case.

Tests will not re-run properly (all tests will run each time) if you use a custom reporter that does not log stacktraces for failed tests. For example, if you are using jasmine-spec-reporter with Jasmine 2.0, make sure to set displayStacktrace: 'specs' or displayStacktrace: 'all'.
