Error: Angular is not defined when working with none Angular applications

[jacekokrojek]

I am testing web application with some access restrictions. Main part of this application is developed using AngularJS framework however to access this part user needs to be authenticated by "none Angular" web page. When I am trying to get instance of protractor to enter credentials on "none Angular" page using following code

var ptor = protractor.getInstance();
ptor.get('http://localhost:3000');

I get error

I think it would be nice to allow for using protractor also in cases similar to mine

Hi,

This is working as intended - protractor should warn if you're trying to use it on a non-Angular page.

You can get around it by using the webdriver instance directly for those pages, e.g.

ptor.driver.get('yourpage');

Hi Julie

thanks for clarification.

Hm, warning the user is ok, completely failing if it's not an angular app seems a bit harsh. Is there any downside in using protractor with non-angular apps (except for the app not using angular)? I'd like to use protractor to write e2e tests for the app in which I am going to introduce angular.
