creating and resolving promises in protractor

Question

I am writing a test case for adding store information in the page for Angular app using Protractor, where initially I am counting the number of stores I already have and aft

Answer 1

Creation

For creating a promise in protractor, you have to write:

var deferred = protractor.promise.defer();
var promise = deferred.promise;

---

Callbacks

The callbacks are invoked asynchronously. You can register one (or more) "on success" callbacks:

promise.then(function() {
   ...
});

you can also register one (or more) "on error" callback:

promise.then(null, function() {
   ...
});

These registrations could be chained:

promise.then(function() {
   ...
}).then(function() {
   ...
}).then(null, function() {
   ...
}).then(function() {

}, function() {
   ...
}).then(onSuccess, onFailure);

---

Resolution

Success

The "on success" callbacks are invoked when the promise is resolved successfully:

deferred.fulfill(value);

Failure

The "on failure" callbacks are invoked when the promise is resolved successfully:

deferred.reject(new Error('a problem occurs'));

---

In your code

you missed the resolution step. You have to fulfill the promise.
