Get the current browser name in Protractor test

Question

I\'m creating users in some test. Since it is connected to the backend and create real users I need fixtures. I was thinking of using the browser name to create unique user.

If you want to avoid the a browser, you may want to do this:

it('User should see a message that he has already been added to the campaing when entering the same email twice', function () {

    browser.getCapabilities().then(function (capabilities) {
        browserName = capabilities.caps_.browserName;
        platform = capabilities.caps_.platform;
    }).then(function () {
        console.log('Browser:', browserName, 'on platform', platform);
        if (browserName === 'internet explorer') {
            console.log('IE Was avoided for this test.');
        } else {
            basePage.email.sendKeys('bruno@test.com');
            console.log('Mande el mail');
            basePage.subscribe.click().then(function () {
                basePage.confirmMessage('Contact already added to target campaign');
            });
        }
    });

});
