Simulate the passage of time in protractor?

Question

I have a few spots where things happen in the UI on a delay using $timeout or $interval. Here\'s a simplified example:

Controller code:

Answer 1

You can decorate $timeout and $interval to override the delay supplied to them:

lower-wait-time.js

exports.module = function() {
    angular.module('lowerWaitTimeDecorator', [])
    .config(function($provide) {
        $provide.decorator('$timeout', function($delegate) {
            return function() {
                // The second argument is the delay in ms
                arguments[1] = arguments[1] / 10;
                return $delegate.apply(this, arguments);
            };
        });
    })
};

Usage

beforeAll(function() {
    var lowerWaitTime = require('lower-wait-time');
    browser.addMockModule('lowerWaitTimeDecorator', lowerWaitTime.module);
});

afterAll(function() {
    browser.removeMockModule('lowerWaitTimeDecorator');
});

it('My-sped-up-test', function() {

});
