library2.1.1jsnpmunverified

ESLint plugin providing lint rules specific to Protractor end-to-end tests for AngularJS applications. Current stable version is 2.1.1, last released in September 2019, with infrequent updates. It helps catch common Protractor errors, enforce best practices for element locators, and avoid deprecated API usage. Differentiates from general ESLint by focusing on Protractor-specific patterns, including rules for correct chaining, promise handling, and locator quality. The plugin is intended to be integrated into IDEs for real-time feedback during test development.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

plugin

✓ const protractorPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-protractor');

✗ import protractorPlugin from 'eslint-plugin-protractor';

Plugin is typically used in .eslintrc config, not imported directly. If used programmatically, CommonJS require is expected. ESM import may not work without interop.

rules

✓ rules: { 'protractor/no-promise-in-if': 'error' }

✗ rules: { 'no-promise-in-if': 'error' }

When configuring rules in .eslintrc, always prefix rule names with 'protractor/' to avoid conflicts with other plugins.

configs

✓ extends: ['plugin:protractor/recommended']

✗ extends: ['protractor/recommended']

Use the 'plugin:' prefix to reference plugin configs. Omitting it will not load the config correctly.

Shows installation and basic configuration of eslint-plugin-protractor in .eslintrc to enable rules for Protractor test files.

// Install: npm install --save-dev eslint eslint-plugin-protractor // .eslintrc.yml plugins: - protractor rules: protractor/no-promise-in-if: error protractor/missing-perform: warn protractor/no-array-finder-methods: error

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 2.0.0 requires ESLint >= 6.x; older ESLint versions are incompatible.

fix

Upgrade ESLint to version 6 or later, or use plugin version 1.x for ESLint <6.

affects: >=2.0.0

deprecatedRule 'no-get-inner-outer-html' warns about deprecated Protractor methods getInnerHtml() and getOuterHtml() which are removed in newer Protractor versions.

fix

Use Protractor's getAttribute('innerHTML') or similar alternatives. The rule will flag usage.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaRule 'array-callback-return' may produce false positives if used with non-standard ElementArrayFinder methods that do not require return values.

fix

Disable rule for specific patterns or file globs if false positives occur.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaPlugin is designed for Protractor test files only; applying to non-test code may cause spurious warnings.

fix

Scope ESLint configuration to test file patterns using overrides in .eslintrc.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Failed to load plugin 'protractor' declared in '.eslintrc': Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-protractor'

eslint-plugin-protractor is not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-protractor and ensure it is in the project's devDependencies.

Configuration for rule 'protractor/no-promise-in-if' is invalid: Value "error" is not a recognized severity.

Using incorrect severity level (e.g., 'warning' instead of 'warn' or 'error').

fix

Use valid severity: 'off', 'warn', or 'error'.

Definition for rule 'protractor/no-promise-in-if' was not found.

Rule name is misspelled or the plugin version does not include that rule.

fix

Check rule names in the plugin documentation and ensure correct spelling (e.g., 'no-promise-in-if').
