Solution

  • I was facing the same issue when trying to subscribe to push notification event and unfortunately in my case unsubscribe() method did not work.

    The solution I found and prefer especially when I have multiple subscriptions in one page and I want to unsubscribe from them when I leave the page, is the following:

    Import the RxJs operator:

    import 'rxjs/add/operator/takeWhile';

    Define a variable, say liveSubscription: boolean = true; in your component.

    Then subscribe like this: 

    browser.on('loadstop')
.takeWhile(() => this.liveSubscription)
.subscribe(() => {})

    When you want to unsubscribe, simply set this.liveSubscription = false;.
