parallel-protractor

Running parallel end 2 end tests from the same spec file using Protractor

WARNING still work in progress, some dependency loading issues.

Install and use

npm i -D parallel-protractor

Then, instead the command protractor conf.js run the command to load parallel-protractor first

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "protractor conf.js",
    "test-in-parallel": "node -r parallel-protractor node_modules/.bin/protractor conf.js"
  }
}

Why?

If you have a large file with long running end to end tests, you can refactor the long file into the smaller separate physical files. The you can configure parallel tests. Or you can just create "virtual" spec files on the fly using parallel-protractor! It overrides the Node require function called from Protractor and tells it that there is a file for each describe block.
