Fail Protractor on warnings

I looked through the protractor API and reference conf.js but I couldn't find any documentation on how to fail protractor on warnings or how to turn warnings into errors.

Is either of those possible?

Solution

  • There is nothing built-in in Protractor to treat warnings as errors.

    You can redefine the Protractor's log.warn() and throw an error instead of logging a warning:

    onPrepare: function () {

    var logger = require('protractor/lib/logger.js');
    logger.warn = function (message) {
        throw message;
    };
},

    Works for me.

    Also, note that:

    WARNING - more than one element found for locator ... - the first result will be used

    This warning can easily be fixed by replacing the:

    element(...)

    with:

    element.all(...).first()
