Protractor console log

Question

I want to output the text of a div in my protractor test, so far I have:

console.log(ptor.findElement(protractor.By.id(\'view-container\')).getText());
         


        

Answer 1

getText and most other Protractor methods return promises. You want to put your console.log statement inside the promise resolution:

Using the new Protractor syntax:

element(by.id('view-container')).getText().then(function(text) {
  console.log(text);
});
