Running into Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page with basic protractor test

Question

describe(\'my homepage\', function() {
    var ptor = protractor.getInstance();
    beforeEach(function(){
        // ptor.ignoreSynchronization = true;
        ptor         


        

Answer 1

In my case, I encountered the error with the following code:

describe("application", function() {
  it("should set the title", function() {
    browser.getTitle().then(function(title) {
      expect(title).toEqual("Welcome");
    });
  });
});

Fixed it by doing this:

describe("application", function() {
  it("should set the title", function() {
    browser.get("#/home").then(function() {
      return browser.getTitle();
    }).then(function(title) {
      expect(title).toEqual("Welcome");
    });
  });
});

In other words, I was forgetting to navigate to the page I wanted to test, so Protractor was having trouble finding Angular. D'oh!
