How to debug angular protractor tests in WebStorm

Question

There is a way to run and debug protractor web-tests in WebStorm. I just want to share this answer here

Answer 1

By the way if you need to pass additional parameters here is the configuration you need

• Select ‘Node.js’ configuration from the list
• Name: ‘Protractor’
• Node interpreter: ‘C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe’
• Node parameters: ‘’
• Working directory:
• JavaScript file: ‘~\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\built\cli.js’
• Application parameters, this is where you specify path to your conf, relatively to working directory^ and then parameters like this: ‘e2e/settings/configs/protractor.custom.conf.js --baseUrl="https://stage.mysite.com" --params.login="testuser" --params.password="test_USER00"’
• Environment variables: ‘’

This config works great in my project, where we solely rely on async/await syntax
