Protractor - empty local storage

Question

I\'m using Protractor (with Jasmine) to test my AngulaJs application.

As result of some of my action I get some data saved in the localStorage. Now I need to test ot

Answer 1

I haven't found a cool way to do that, but if I run my statement

 browser.executeScript("localStorage.removeItem('config');")

within a it('description') statement it works. Example:

it('should compile and save base config for billing',function(){
    browser.executeScript("localStorage.removeItem('config');")

    //my test
});

This remove the item named config, and so my test works, but while searching and talking about this issue the main response I got is:

"localStorage is not you product, so you don't need (read: you must not) test it. The right way is to mock it and inject it contents when they are needed"

I'm still looking into this to understrand how, meanwhile I think that a not philosophically perfect test is still better than nothing so..

Hope this helps...
