Running specs by tag
In Python and nosetests testing framework there is this idea of tagging your tests : from nose.plugins.attrib import attr @attr(speed='slow') def test_big_download(): ... and running the tests that have only specific tags: nosetests -a speed=slow This is very helpful when there is a need to run tests from a specific category or type. Is there anything similar in protractor + jasmine ? The closest functionality I've found is the 'grep' option introduced in 1.6.0 : protractor conf.js --grep='pattern to match' hankduan Grep is the closest you can get to this because there are no annotations in js
