Protractor v6.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-03-23 // about 5 years ago

  • 👀 Selenium 4 removes the control flow and most of these changes are based on those changes. To see the full list of changes, please refer to selenium-webdriver's CHANGELOG

    💥 Breaking changes

    • 🚚 Control flow is removed and you should use async await to run your tests.
    • Other control flow related items:
      • debugger, explore and element explorer have been removed
      • jasminewd is no longer a dependency
    • 🗄 ignoreSynchronization has been deprecated and you should use waitForAngularEnabled
    • Types for selenium-webdriver are currently in the types/ directory and are not complete. We are still missing some type definitions for selenium 4.
    • ✅ Actions API in selenium-webdriver have changed and they will break your test. Also we have not exported it yet since the type definitions are not complete.
