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

I got the same issue and solved it by creating a promise for the expected item count:

it('should accept valid data for adding new store', function() {
    // Given
    let expectedCountAfterNewRow = items.count().then((cnt)=>{return cnt+1}); 
    // Note: items.count() is a promise so the expected count should a promise too

    // When
    /* Code for adding test fields in store page */

    // Then
   expect(items.count()).toEqual(expectedCountAfterNewRow);
});
