How can I use command line arguments in Angularjs Protractor?

Question

I'm using Protractor to perform some end to end tests, and I'd like to pass in login credentials through the command line instead of storing them in a spec file. I found one post where someone used process.argv.forEach, but how can I store those values and use them in another spec file? I have a file called login-spec.js where I'd like to use the command-line arguments.

Answer 1

To give credentials to params use the below code

// The params object will be passed directly to the protractor instance,

  // and can be accessed from your test. It is an arbitrary object and can

  // contain anything you may need in your test.

  // This can be changed via the command line as:

  //   --params.login.user 'Joe'

  params: {

    login: {

      user: 'user',

      password: '12345'

    }

  }

Params object can be accessed by using 

Browser.params.login.user

Calling of protractor can be done using

protractor ... --params.login.user=abc --params.login.password=123

Variables can be accessed through 

browser.params.login.user 

and

 browser.params.login.password
