How to integrate Protractor test cases in Atom using Typescript?

Question

I have installed typescript for atom for writing Protractor Scripts For automation.

My code is written in Jasmine Framework as protractor supports it nicely.

You have to install jasmine and node typings so that typescript recognizes them. Now there is even a better approach, there is no need of typings folder and typings.json. we have @types dependencies for the same.

so you can do that by following steps-

go to your project folder and install the dependencies -

 npm install --save-dev @types/jasmine //this would install jasmine typings as a dev dependency in your package.json
 npm install --save-dev @types/node   //this would install node typings as a dev dependency in your package.json

once you have installed try compiling it with tsc or tsc -w watch mode, now you shouldn't see those TS syntax errors!

And you have to import browser from protractor/globals to use its methods, like this-

import {browser} from 'protractor/globals';
