So it took me days of trying to piece together the correct config options to make my local protractor test suite run in a bunch of different setups on Sauce Labs.
// An example configuration file.
exports.config = {
sauceUser: 'jgrubb',
sauceKey: 'fill-in-the-blank',
sauceSeleniumAddress: 'localhost:4445/wd/hub',
// Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
// This option is called "capabilities" in the protractor docs
// but whatever. this also works.
multiCapabilities: [{
// by default, these first two browsers will come up in
// Linux if you don't specify an OS
'name': 'Chrome',
'browserName': 'chrome'
}, {
'name': 'Firefox',
'browserName': 'firefox'
}, {
'name': 'Win XP/IE8',
'os': 'Windows XP',
'browserName': 'internet explorer',
'version': '8.0'
}, {
'name': 'Win7/IE8',
'os': 'Windows 7',
'browserName': 'internet explorer',
'version': '8.0'
}, {
'name': 'Win7/IE9',
'os': 'Windows 7',
'browserName': 'internet explorer',
'version': '9.0'
}, {
'name': 'Win8/IE10',
'os': 'Windows 8',
'browserName': 'internet explorer',
'version': '10.0'
}, {
'name': 'Win8.1/IE11',
'os': 'Windows 8.1',
'browserName': 'internet explorer',
'version': '11.0'
}],
// Spec patterns are relative to the current working directly when
// protractor is called.
specs: ['e2e/**/\*_spec.js'],
// Options to be passed to Jasmine-node.
jasmineNodeOpts: {
showColors: true,
defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
},
};I burned tons of time just trying to figure out the correct names for the options, can’t find where those are documented. This page - https://docs.saucelabs.com/reference/platforms-configurator/#/ turned out to be hugely helpful.
you probably figured this out already, but the Sauce Connect thing is awesome, and really easy to set up - https://docs.saucelabs.com/reference/sauce-connect/
