Protractor: how to make the configuration file more flexible?

Question

I have an idea to make my configs more flexible. For example I have 10000 config files with same parameters:

seleniumAddress: \'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub\         


        

Answer 1

You can export your common config rules as node.js module:

// globalProtractor.conf.js    
module.exports = {
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  specs: ['C:/Users/Lilia.Sapurina/Desktop/Protractor Tests/Scenarios/ps-grid-column-filter-range_spec.js'],
  params: {
    'url_filter': 'http://wks-15103:8010/ps/ng-components/examples/ps-grid-column-filter-range.html'
}

And use in another file

// protractor.conf.js
var globalConf = require('/path/to/globalProtractor.conf.js');

globalConf.specs.push('path/new.spec.js');
exports.config = globalConf;
