Protractor times out waiting for sync with page when using $resource

Question

I\'m testing Protractor with a small AngularJS app.

This is the test:

describe(\'Testing Protractor\', function() {
  var draftList;

  it(\'should c         


        

Answer 1

I'm using Protractor 3.3.0 and to get this to work in my test I had to defer the ignore synchronisation until after I had done the setup.

So in my beforeEach I call my action:

var searchBox = element(by.css('#inpt_search'));
searchBox.sendKeys('test');

I then have to wait for the mock backend to populate the view (I'm not happy about these sleep calls so if anyone has a better way of doing this please comment, I can't get expectedConditions.presenceOf to work as it's part of the same bug) using browser.sleep(500). Then in the test I set browser.ignoreSynchronization = true which unblocks whatever is blocked and sees the browser content.

describe('standard search', function (){
    beforeEach(function (){
        openApp();
        var searchBox = element(by.css('#inpt_search'));
        searchBox.sendKeys('test');
        browser.sleep(500);
    });
    it('should work or summat', function () {
        browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;
        var fileItems = element.all(by.repeater('item in list'));
        expect(fileItems.count()).toEqual(50);
    });
});
