Unable to access variable page

[binarykitchen]

For my e2e tests I want to be able to open pages, query for DOM and stuff like that:

var expect = chai.expect;

describe('Home page', function() {

    beforeEach(function(done) {
      page.open('/', function() {
        done();
      });
    });

    it('has canvas', function() {
        expect(element('body').html()).to.contain('canvas');
    });

    it('has more than zero links', function() {
        expect(repeater('a').count()).to.have.length.above(0);
    });
});

But grunt-karma crashes with:

Running "karma:e2e" (karma) task
INFO [karma]: Karma v0.10.6 server started at http://localhost:9012/

INFO [PhantomJS 1.9.2 (Mac OS X)]: Connected on socket F8cIn0t5vwZ2OeHkbbLb

So, variable page is missing. How can I get it without using require?

Been looking for examples but found none. Thanks for any clues!

You can't access page variable - the Angular scenario runner tests run IN THE BROWSER and there is no page variable.

The page variable is available in the phantomjs script (that you write to control the phantomjs browser). If you wanna use PhantomJS and its DSL for writing high level tests, just use PhantomJS without Angular scenario runner.

@vojtajina I never mentioned that I am using Angular's scenario runner.

Do you have a working example of PhantomJS with Karma for e2e tests? Not unit tests. In the e2e tests I want to be able to fill out forms, to perform actions on DOM etc. I've been searching for a long time but found nothing useful.

Nope, just use PhantomJS without Karma. Karma is for unit testing.

@binarykitchen, you may look at https://github.com/winsonwq/karma-e2e-dsl works fine for me.
