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

Question

    var ptor = protractor.getInstance();
    beforeEach(function(){
        // ptor.ignoreSynchronization = true;
        ptor         


        

Answer 1

I was getting this error:

Failed: Error while waiting for Protractor to sync with the page: "window.angular is undefined. This could be either because this is a non-angular page or because your test involves client-side navigation, which can interfere with Protractor's bootstrapping. See http://git.io/v4gXM for details"

The solution was to call page.navigateTo() before page.getTitle().

Before:

import { AppPage } from './app.po';

describe('App', () => {
  let page: AppPage;

  beforeEach(() => {
    page = new AppPage();
  });

  it('should have the correct title', () => {
    expect(page.getTitle()).toEqual('...');
  })
});

After:

import { AppPage } from './app.po';

describe('App', () => {
  let page: AppPage;

  beforeEach(() => {
    page = new AppPage();
    page.navigateTo();
  });

  it('should have the correct title', () => {
    expect(page.getTitle()).toEqual('...');
  })
});
