Protractor script doesn't work properly

Question

Here is exactly what I\'m trying to do

I open a page with a table that contains information about users

I getText() of element that indicates a number of use

Answer 1

To be honest I didn't what are you checking.

First of all you should consider using

element.all(by.xpath("(//td[@data-field='username'])")) instead of element(by.xpath("(//td[@data-field='username'])["+j+"]"))

It returns elementArrayFinder. Assign it to a variable (eg. tableRows) and then you can handle with those data.

If you are trying to check whether the number in a string "11 Users in list" is correct, yuu can use tableRows.count()

You can also filter elements: http://www.protractortest.org/#/api?view=ElementArrayFinder.prototype.filter

use map: http://www.protractortest.org/#/api?view=ElementArrayFinder.prototype.map

Drop me a line what exactly test should do.

Edit:

Ok. Here you have code sample. It clicks EDIT link of defined user (TESTUSER26 in this case): The only change you have to make is change defineSelectorForUsernameCell into real value.

var tableRows = element.all(by.css('td'));
var searchedUsername = 'TESTUSER26';

return tableRows.filter((eachRow) => {
    return eachRow.element(by.css('defineSelectorForUsernameCell')).getText((usernameCellText) => {
        if (usernameCellText === searchedUsername) {
            return eachRow.element(by.linkText('EDIT')).click();
            }
    });
});
