Protractor fails when app is bootstrapped with ngUpgrade #4290
Description
I am working on migrating an AngularJS (1.6) app to Angular (4) and now have a hybrid application, bootstrapped with NgUpgrade. This seems to have completely broken my Protractor tests.
Forgive me if this is just something I am doing wrong, but I can't find any answer as to why this won't work.
The error I get is:
Failed: Timed out waiting for asynchronous Angular tasks to finish after 11 seconds. This may be because the current page is not an Angular application. Please see the FAQ for more details: https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/timeouts.md#waiting-for-angular
While waiting for element with locator - Locator: By(css selector, .toggle-summary-button)
Hybrid app changes
The application seems to run fine, and both AngularJS and Angular components are working as expected. The changes I made in the bootstrapping process are:
1 Removed ng-app from html tag:
<html lang="en" *ng-app="myapp">
2 Added an AppModules (@NgModule) etc.
3 Used NgUpgrade to bootstrap the app:
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { UpgradeModule } from '@angular/upgrade/static';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).then(platformRef => {
const upgrade = platformRef.injector.get(UpgradeModule) as UpgradeModule;
upgrade.bootstrap(document.body, ['myapp'], {strictDi: true});
});
Protractor tests
Based on the error above, the problem seems to be related to whatever Protractor does when it is waiting for Angular. I have a beforeEach block which loads the login page, fills in the details and logs in. Weirdly it is still opening the page and entering text into the username field, but then it fails to go any further.
I have tried, with no success:
- adding "rootElement: 'body'" to my protractor config file
- adding "ng12Hybrid: true" to my protractor config file - I get a message saying that it should no longer be needed as it auto detects.
- increasing the allScriptsTimeout setting from 11000 to 60000 and it still times out.
- turning off the waitForAngularEnabled setting. This solves the problem with the login fields, but then none of my http mocks work and the tests fail.
